The presidency is a huge echo chamber magnifying every little thing he does.

Presidentskap

This is not a full-fledged mea culpa. But by presidential standards, it's there, or pretty close to it,

She would be better off politically not making a commitment that she wouldn't run for president if she were re-elected. Clearly, if (her Senate race) were going to be a squeaker, she'd better give a lot of thought to how she responds to that. But, if, as it appears, she's going to have a pretty easy time of it, why put herself in a position of looking hypocritical or devious?

We need to know how bad it is — but we want a little good news, too. We've heard a lot about how bad Americans are, or some Americans were in Katrina, but we're not a bad people.

Washington is getting more and more of a reputation of being a pretty hard-knuckled place to operate, where you could end up leaving potentially tarnished by the experience.

It has more than the usual quotient of political weight with an election coming up. The fate of his administration is so closely linked to what happens on the ground in Iraq.

Last year, he came out with a very robust agenda in the State of the Union.

There were big, big items, and that was really quite exceptional for one of these speeches.

But life did not work quite as he designed it in the next year. He picked the wrong major item, Social Security. And then the war got worse and he had the hurricane. So now it's not only the sand that has run out of the hourglass but also the political capital has run out of the bank.

But he can't ignore it.

Besides, he's already spoken extensively about the hurricanes.

I don't think this is going to be one of those historic State of the Union messages. When people talk about new initiatives, they cost money. He's run out of wiggle room there.

He really came into his second term with a series of robust proposals, and he's accomplished none of them. His circumstances have shifted dramatically.

There isn't any money. For presidents to make pronouncements it usually means they have to spend money and he's not in a position to spend any more.

It was not a speech of surprises.
