I read it as fear

obama sounded smaller this week

·5 min read

Obama tweeted on Tuesday about a Supreme Court ruling.

The Court had just gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The law that's been the spine of progressive interference in state-level redistricting for sixty years. Gone.

I've been reading Obama for fifteen years... the tone of that tweet was different... smaller... less certain... Less in charge.
