In which Chris Hayes gives us hope

Everyone is doing their 100-days stories! And it's not even 100 days yet. Politico even had theirs up back on Friday, but it's not worth a link!

I have found one 100-days piece I really liked, though, from Chris Hayes. I've generally been a fan of his.

In his piece this week he assesses the Obama presidency and the state of Washington. While he finds much to dislike -- "a class of Democratic operatives who seem to have no beliefs, principles or commitments, or who once had them but have been co-opted" -- he ends up coming down with a view that we should be optimistic about where things are headed.
