I see two warring impulses in the President coming out in this press conference...impulses that have gone on consistently throughout his presidency, but are showing bigtime today. One of them is bad and one is good:
The bad impulse is his typical moderate Republican impulse to play nice with the Left.
The good one that he seems to always bear in mind that his first duty is to protect the country from external threats.
Agree.
Very true. Good post.
