Picking Warren seemed to me a very strange move. But... Obama might have calculated that he had a better chance of some political gain measured against a small political loss. Akuma's sketch of the calculus seems sensible... but it still strikes me as an odd choice.

I'm more interested to see how this is going to play out against the background of some larger strategy. There has to be some larger framework that he's laying out. This must be just a precursor, or the foundations of some larger plan that is being put into motion. Right? I hope so, uh, I guess.
