As long as I created confusion over this, here’s what I meant: Obama no longer gives a fuck. I assume you don’t give fucks when you simply have none left to give. It’s a supply-side phenomenon, which I think squares with most our personal experience. And when I thought of Obama’s sometimes Achilles’ heel of extreme accommodation of his adversaries, often getting little or nothing in return, it occurred to me that President Obama had been overdrawing his fucks account for sometime. Let’s call it deficit spending in fucks. And now, he has none left. I noted that he may have private reserve for extreme or personal need. But basically he is out of fucks to give.
