...fact, we surely will have to adjust the ways we think of ourselves. Still an exceptional country, absolutely, but not a magical one exempt from the laws of economic and geopolitical gravity.

But those are not the people you go on the Tonight Show to get. The broader electorate doesn't seem so burned out yet, judging by Obama's approval ratings and the TV ratings. But that didn't stop the fainting spells over whether Obama was somehow abandoning his duty by talking to the public on TV. (This is a bad thing, by the way? I mean, we gave how much airtime...
