It sounds to me like the place where his handlers turn the big key to make him go.

I seriously think its a big issue and a huge abuse of his position as president going into the leadership race. Its not enough that he has the whole apparatus of government and the presidency at his command. He wants to have all his advisors in his ear when he talks to his electoral oponnent. How many advisors does it take for the man to have something smart to say?

I wish he would stop being a concealing wet blanket over the data and just introduce us to the people who make the decisions. Maybe if we talked to the decision makers we'd have a hope of getting the truth. He may not understand the issues to even answer.

To be fair, has anyone seen a similar crutch for Kerry?
