HALF IN THE DOOR

I found this buried in a NYT article about Obama's management style.

A White House aide said Mr. Obama speaks with Mr. Bush “more than any of us know.”

Deeply engaged and not worried about who he is engaged with if it gets the job done.

Maybe this is not as extraordinary as I think it is but still.

These are extraordinary times.

It also says something about Bush that he is willing to do it. And I also credit Obama's apparent power to engage and network. He is irresistible.
