Something Feasible

The following made me think of President Obama. And Mac Isseks.

"I am always told to suggest something feasible. What in effect is being said to me is that I should propound the ordinary methods or at least combine something good with the existing evil. A plan like this is really more fantastic than mine, for in this combination the good gets spoiled and the bad is not cured. I would rather follow the established methods in their entirety and avoid the contradiction that would be produced in man by making for two discordant ends."

The Emile of Jean Jacques Rosseau
