So, a president doesn't "get an opportunity to redo a decision?" You mean, time travel is still impossible? Geez, thanks for the news flash, Prez. It's the kind of revelation we've come to expect from you. Of course, no one is asking the Lyin' King to "redo" anything. He was asked to review his decisions, which requires only self-reflection, introspection, insight ... Oh, never mind.
