Obama feels liberated, aides say, and sees the recent flurry of aggressive executive action and deal-making as a pivot for him to spend the last two years being more of the president he always wanted to be.
This breathless news comes from Politico and one wonders if even they don’t get a little weary of the Perils of Obama routine.
Why should we care if he feels liberated and is going into his pivot man routine? The United States is being humiliated and wrong-footed by the runt totalitarianisms of the world (North Korea, Cuba) which can’t be lost on larger and more dangerous hostiles (Iraq, Russia) and the news is that the president has gotten his groove back? That he has now become what he always really wanted to be?
How nice for him.
