Between the nonstop "let me answer my question with another analysis" and the messy spittle, America might be so distracted we'll miss a Chinese attack on Japan.

instead of the Kumbaya, "we need to work together", "both sides are at fault" pablum. The president is in a tough spot. He's much closer ideologically to the people who bash, insult, and undermine him - Boner, McTurtle, and their ilk - than he is to those who support him and would like him to lead their movement - Warren, Grayson and Sanders. I'm sure the cognitive dissonance gets pretty daunting. Time for him to decide if he really wants a Dem congress for his last two years, and, if so, start acting like it
