Here he is, living a life that allows him to place articles in the New York Times – which is not a bad place to be – and he publicly mucks it up by publishing a piece that crashes and burns on the first word of the title. The title is “How to Break Bread With the Republicans,” and as advice goes it is… not bad. Absolutely useless, but not bad. But it’s still absolutely useless, primarily because it assumes (as the “How” in the title shows) that the President simply doesn’t know how to reach out to his Republican opposition. Trust me, President Obama knows: he simply doesn’t want to. Obama doesn’t want to because… well, there are multiple reasons.]]>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 13:00:35 -0500<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2011/01/02/greg-mankiw-advises-the-obama-living-in-his-head-n37472
