...many Harvard students, admitting they need help in any aspect of their lives is equivalent to failing completely. Blame it on our training: We’ve grown accustomed to solving problems entirely on our own, because doing so proves to ourselves and others that we’re capable, effective individuals...
...there ever any performative aspect to anything you did? I'm sure you imagined you'd go into animation, but you've taken a real front-of-the-camera role.

Obama was perhaps a tad cautious and reserved but stayed in sync with fellow Dems on Capitol Hill by letting the political benefits of nationwide alarm boost their case. Barring disaster, every aspect of the campaign will now be seen through the lens of the economy, an issue on which Obama and his party are more trusted by voters. Any hope the Republicans may have had of regaining many of the staggering 80% of voters who think the country is on the wrong track...
