I had distilled thinking about what’s wrong with this President (and his men) into thinking of them as bunglers fully comfortable with the cover-up. That didn’t quite seem to get at, so I’m happy now to have Suskind's "reality-based." I think a limited sense of being a destiny-maker is healthy for an American president. But I don't think it's too much to much to ask to have one capable of both seeing a better future out in the distance and at the very same time looking down at the rocks strewn in the path ahead. Some rocks you move, some you go around, other you get people to move for you. Understanding that this White House "rocks? What rocks?" approach to the obstacles in our path really does help explain why we keeping running smack into them.
