What is, for me at least, remarkable about this piece is how much, once 
shore of typical American (mostly foreign-) politics and a few more 
pieces of Beltway folklore, it pairs almost one-to-one with the 
predicaments of the European governing 'elites', and more specifically, 
of the social democratic description.
