Oh, boy. It’s gonna be a fun eight years if president Obama keeps giving interview answers like these.

First, he exasperates and confounds conservatives by doing pretty much what he said he would do when he was just candidate Obama. (Somehow, that, plus his margin of victory, and approval rating don’t suggest to them that he’s also doing what people elected him to do.)

But his additional answers to a New York Times interview are likely to cause a few fits on the right.
