It's devastating that the president would ask no questions. If he sat there mum in a full briefing ... that will only confirm the suspicions of a lot of opponents.

I think the president has raised the stakes for himself. He has raised the stakes for his presidency, so that if there are more explosions in the next few months ... his approval ratings will suffer some more.

If people stay that long, group-think can set in, and that's dangerous for a president.

I don't think there's any other president in the modern era that has seen this kind of stability.

For a two-term president after the November elections in the middle of your second term, things start going downhill and you really do start quacking like a duck.

Would be nice even I can get it back, you know. Whoever get 'em please no questions ask, just give me 'em back if can.
