I would laugh heartily if this were so; and this administration is certainly capable of such wisdom.
Tangentially, the President and his staff have, over and over again, consistently demonstrated an unusual wisdom for leadership that must be called genius. Over and over, in the most treacherous of circumstances, with the highest stakes in history, they have deftly despatched enemies within and without. It has been a marvel to see.
No less a marvel is all the ranting by alleged "conservatives" who seem all of a sudden to believe that the administration is really lame after all, that the genius must have been luck, when America encounters high oil prices, immigration debates, and allegedly low poll numbers. It is then that people seem to suddenly realize that they are smarter than the President after all, because, after all, they don't get what he's doing. All they know is that they are feeling the bug-bite of an iota of sacrifice, the kind that liberty demands, only in such a measure that the Founders must be spinning in their graves to see their protestations to these the merest hints of inconvenience.
Perhaps the most thankless job of all is leading the American people in this age.
Agreed. Everybody's got a gripe, real or imagined, and thinks their gripe is the most important one.
Aren't there any grownups around?
I don't know if you read my second post down from today's. I'd like it if you did. Also some examples of the victories you cite might make me less sick to my stomach about what's going on most of the time. Regards
