There's that word again.
Obama is a tug boat: he toes the political line. He has spent his entire career voting how the party bosses have told him. He has not shown an smidgen of independence or leadership...ever. Past experience shows he will be completely lost with any sort of executive authority. (For example, he used his time as president of the Harvard Law Review to publish exactly zero law studies.)
Yet you
hope this time will be different. What is it called when the same thing is repeatedly tried and different results are expected?
