Autopilot would be a lot smoother than the last two years. One is put in the mind of “The Battle of Köpenick”, as recounted by Adolf Galland in his memoir, “The First and the Last”. The name of the “battle” is evocative of the title of the play “The Captain of Köpenick”, about a petty thief who puts on an Army captain's uniform and commandeers the local militia, ordering them to arrest the Mayor and seize the town's treasury and give it to him to take to Berlin, “for safe keeping”. It's the account of the night when Hermann Goering decided to head into German fighter command HQ and take command of night fighter operations, personally. He had the few available fighters chasing shadows and rumors instead of marshaling ahead of waves of British bombers. It was a complete farce, he and everyone else realized he had no idea what he was doing and he never showed up again. What would it take to send Obama and most of his administration on a long trip to the Bahamas, all expenses paid?

As Rush once said:

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
