We wanted the great conversation in Congress with the constitutional guarantees. But the White House closed the curtains and eliminated the bright lights of camera crews and adversaries, thereby leaving every single voter in the dark. The voters were left behind. Congress was left behind. When the curtains were closed, America was left behind. A leader without any followers is just a guy taking a walk. Obama is walking down a path leading...
