A "waiver" is arranged so that Obama can have the man he wanted. Is it me, or is there something McCain-like about this (McCain himself was quick to criticize the action), as if Obama were setting rules for general conduct, for other people and other presidents, perhaps, while his own decisions are to be held above reproach, even when he contradicts his own stated rules?
