Previous presidents, to be sure, have found that the job takes all day every day, but we weren't going to get upset about it. "Maybe the work load is a little easier at the beginning, before things really get rolling," we thought. "Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, isn't he appointing plenty of Harvard...
