Play is the exultation of the possible.
It's one thing to earnestly try but fail to bring the two sides together. Though Democrats will deny it, that was the case with George W. Bush.
Bush is going in the wrong way. And I dare say, that is what the strategy of his administration is, is just to wipe out government's purpose for any social and economic justice at all. And I'm going to take the country in an opposite direction than he's taking it.
In politics, strangely enough, the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.
In politics, they play games. In Hollywood, they play games. I think that, overall, everybody is trying to do whatever it takes to get ahead.

And I think if the president's made a mistake here, it's this laid-back kind of approach where he's waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Some people say it's a political strategy. No matter what it is, it's not effective in solving problems.
It's interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
This game of pretending that to be Never Trump doesn't lead to a President Hillary Clinton has to end.
President Obama believes in a level playing field.
