President Obama, mired in the worst political stretch of his presidency, can't even get a sure-fire win these days.
To say the White House was bullish this winter about the prospects for patent reform would be an understatement.

‘Rats and this regime are beholden to lawyers, and might like the status quo. I wonder if they are trying to spin this as trying to do a good thing but got thwarted by R’s, when they didn’t want it to pass all along (as it certainly seems like goodness to stop bogus patent litigation).
I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability the extraordinary, uncanny ability to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. Hes been bored to death his whole life. Hes just too talented to do what ordinary people do.
Strikes me as a walking ego who has never had to face failure or difficulty ... UNTIL NOW!
