Or...

what's bugging me today?

Maybe the "Right" needs to adopt a sports metaphor...

We (the people) are the team.

The President is the Coach, with a staff of specialists.

The Coach calls the plays and the team executes as well as it can. If the plays are wrong, we fail, and there soon will be a new coach, and most of the staff will be replaced, too.

There are risks beyond simply failing. We can be injured. Maybe the plays demand more than we can accomplish, or perhaps they subject us to longer term damage.

But without risk there's no reward. The alternative is to forfeit.

The "Right" is part of the team, too.
