Stem Cell Research & Barack Obama

"A reader wrote in recently to explain why people needn't worry when President Barack Obama glibly dismisses the destruction of ordinary Americans' finances, insults a key ally's visiting prime minister, makes clumsy overtures to Russia that get leaked and laughed off, grows federal power exponentially -- that sort of thing.

"'Has anyone considered,' the reader asks, 'that President Barack Obama is very good both at multitasking and at seeing things as a system and interconnected? I think that's why he is doing so many things at the same time. Most of us do not have these skills and are lost by his process and speed.'

"I'll be darned. And all this time, I thought he was trying to keep us from guessing which shell the pea was under."
