re: #253 PT Barnum

I’ve never thought of Obama as aloof. Preternaturally calm, perhaps, but not aloof. But that was one of the things I liked about him. I wish I had realized he doesn’t do passionate though. We need someone to get passionate about solving some of these problems and taking Congress to the woodshed for not getting anything done.

Sadly there’s not a lot the president can do to abolish the filibuster which is why congress gets nothing done these days….
