In the first few minutes of play, America’s new First Quarterback fumbled a hand-off attempt to Capitol Hill veteran Tom Daschle. Daschle isn’t very familiar with the new playbook, but the man can take legislation downfield like nobody’s business. Old heads trump young legs in the kind of broken-field running needed to get health reform bills to the goal line, even against a weak GOP defense.
Mr. Daschle was called on a personal foul, but his problem really resulted from a rule change instituted since he last played the game. The veteran player was cut, and the search is on for a replacement.
Quarterback Obama made an energetic and deft recovery, especially for a crossover player from another sport.
