There is no such thing as something being "in the best interests of the nation". The "nation" is just a large group of people, and what is good for some of us is bad for others of us. There is no "best for all" policy. It's a question of choosing who will benefit, and at the expense of who else.

There are obviously many policies that benefit the majority of Americans, but none that benefit everyone. You would hope that the President does choose policies that benefit the majority, but if he does he will be the first to do so in my lifetime.
