These quotes are from 1982 and are about the collapsing Reagan Administration. We all know how that ended, right?The press purports to explain the problems. “Why The President’s Men Stumble,” a New York Times headline promised to explain.
Another lede concluded that the president’s “once-dazzling political momentum … has stalled.”
A noted columnist captured the pack’s mood: “the Washington press corps is suddenly in hot pursuit of ‘an administration in disarray,’ which is coming apart at the seams under … a ‘detached President.’ ”
The distinguished dean of Washington columnists opined, “it is becoming increasingly clear” that the president’s marvel “was a one-year phenomenon … what has been occurring since is an accelerating retreat … a process in which he is more spectator than leader.”
I just hope the Democrats in Congress realize that their only hope is to "PASS. THE. DAMN BILL." with apologies to Andrew Sullivan.
