War Room's tone suggests just the sort of head-scratching, we-gotcha-but-we're-stunned-at-the-irony attitude that indicates how little you understand the president. Look, it's very simple. The president has demonstrated over and over that the rules are different for him. While other folks might be asked to sing the national anthem only in English, the president himself can sing it in whatever language he likes. Whether it's warrantless spying, signing statements on torture bills, or the national anthem, there's one way for regular folks, and one way for the president. It's as simple as that.
