My impression from reading this is that the unbearable burden of being Fred Hiatt has reached the point where Fred Hiatt can barely endure having to be Fred Hiatt, but since his job depends on being Fred Hiatt, Fred Hiatt he will be.
Also, asking Obama to do what he has already done, is doing, and will continue to do is not a valid form of criticism or commentary. It’s especially bad when you feel compelled to acknowledge as much in your column and yet go ahead and do it anyway.
