“What strikes me is the writers concern for BOs mental state.”
That certainly is the main focus all throughout part 1 and 2 for sure. The bit in part 2 about blaming the left for taking their party off of the cliff was equally intriquing. It suggests that this person is not a certified marxist ideologue or Ayers type revolutionary. He/She is more pragmatic and strategizing about implementing ‘progressive’ change...like Clinton was. With this in mind, it very well could be Orzag or someone on Rahm’s staff.
Even a low level secretary might fit the bill.....Do we have a list of who left the employee of the WH recently?
