Some choice, huh? I saw that phrase in the February 7 New York Times and began to plan some place I could share it. The D and R leaders in the Senate are reaching an accord on the rules and may soon need only a majority vote to pass legislation. The President is speaking to the National Chamber of Commerce today hoping to suggest his openness to them and hoping to blunt their jihad against him.
Does anyone really want hot populism from the U. S. about what to do with the uprising in Egypt? On talks that could separate the Taliban in Afghanistan from al Qaeda? Or taking advantage of Raul Castro creeping moderation in Cuba?
The fact is that there are some things you get to say when you are running for office that could be really dangerous when you sit down behind the desk and have to decide to sign something or not. Nothing is better for getting elected that hot populism. For governing, not so much.
