Imagine that you are a lowly retail cashier and you have been instructed (say) to enforce a two-items-of-today’s-special-per-customer-rule, no exceptions. In the face of your reasonable explaination to a blowhard customer that I’m sorry, it’s only two per customer, blowhard demands! to! see! your! manager! Obama is your manager. He comes over and apologizes _profusely_ to blowhard customer, why _of course_ you can purchase two dozen, please accept our apologies. While giving you a sidelong glance. Obama looks like that kind of guy. ---
