Keeping it nuanced requires constant effort to see all sides good and bad of every position.

And that's hard.

It also requires you to recognize the successes and failures of every person.

And that can be even harder.

We're sending you into the weekend with a short discussion on President Obama's achievements and shortcomings on today's edition of the briefcase.

This is Sarah from the left and Beth from the right.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of new laws.

So thanks for joining us for another episode of the briefcase.

The t-shirts are in!

I just, everyone who's already ordered one and all of our fabulous subscribers who got a t-shirt by subscribing.

They're all in the mail.

So keep an eye out y'all.

They'll be coming in the mailbox soon.

And if you haven't ordered one, go quick, especially the gray that we don't have very many of those left.

That's kind of a fun way to celebrate what I realized today is our 15th briefcase.

And we just recorded our 25th episode, the interview with Kylie Lane Parker.

So kind of some fun milestones this week.

Definitely.

So we also wanted to thank Erin for bringing our attention to podcast awards.

There's sort of a people's choice award going on around podcast.

And we thank Erin very much for nominating us.
