You will find, if you look, that I addressed precisely what Diehl said, in his windy fashion, and took exception to it.

If--as he predicts from his embittered opinion--it turns out that Obama's strategies do not work, it is a good bet he will modify them, unlike some presidents I could name. His proposition about hypothetical failure and the dramatic contradistinction with claims no one has made is , in summary, a semantically null posturing.
