 But how can you take it back, Hugh? How can you take the last 48, 36 hours back? What has been said in The New York Times and in The Economist and by Nick Kristof and half a dozen others is that the president not only can't run for reelection, but cannot serve in the role he occupies for the next six months. I don't understand how they unravel the forces that they've unleashed in that moment of panic. They're probably going to wish they could take them back, but they can't.
