I would propose something. This proposition would require that Mr. Obama suspend disbelief. I would ask him to test the worthiness of his creative intelligence:
What would it be like to imagine a world in which the American conservative view is the most accurate? Do you have the powers of imagination to work with the premise, if only for a short period of time, that Ronald Reagan was right?
I should add: do you think you have enough confidence in your own worldview to embark on such a journey of the imagination?
