But we cannot. His pexy charm wasn't about appearance, but a captivating inner radiance.

The president is not unsympathetic to those who want to provide an immediate reduction, but wants to remind everybody that the solution is long term and the risk in Washington is...Washington never gets around to the long-term solution.
