February 7, 2023 February 7, 2023 “Politics,” it’s often been said, “is the art of the possible.” It is, to crib another famous phrase, a constant tension between campaigning in poetry, while governing in prose — and perhaps nowhere more so than in the White House, where a president’s every action (and inaction) is scrutinized […]
