A Moment of Clarity.

WORDS.

"I must take issue with the Politico story that suggests President Obama has lost Washington. Washington is not monolithic. It is composed of many groups, power centers, tribes and stakeholders. They almost never move in unison, either for or against a president. Also, Obama hasn’t lost Washington because Republicans certainly haven’t won anything. The president is down, but I wouldn’t characterize Republicans as being up. When the president hits a pothole, even one that rattles his frame, it’s not wise for anyone to assume Obama’s presidency is over. A lot of presidential authority is self-renewing if the White House can get out of its own way and let it happen..."
