A president needs the cunning of a poker player, the preternatural dexterity of a craps shooter, a head for numbers like a blackjack wiz, the solitary patience of a slot puller, and the ‘why not’ attitude of the keno caller. In short, the president is nothing but a gambler, and you can quote me on that.
