This is a critical moment for the president, a moment when he can reach back to a political center he has recently eschewed during a war in which a bitter and divisive internal fight should be avoided, if at all possible. I'm hoping for a reasonable and not overly ideological choice. What I'm expecting is another matter.
Yeah, like he's hoping for is his "milky-loads" ad and past blog-bursts of fascist crap to disappear down the memory hole. What he's expecting is that we'll all forget them, and every other vainglorious utterance he's made, now that he's trying/tried to rehabilitate himself. As if. Preening little git.
