I certainly saw it but question why anyone would favor some of those extreme, incongruent policy ideas Jimmy set forth. One of the hallmarks of the American political experience has been gradual change while building a public consensus. Even if empowered to make wholesale changes, it would be imprudent for any President to move too far ahead of the public on multiple issues. Obama is a perfect example with DADT, TARP,QE I and II, and your personal favorite given your prosthetic arm and all, Obamacare.
