"We reserve the right to exercise any and all options available to us."

Apparently Chelsea Clinton posed for a photo with Nino Selimaj, the owner of New York city restaurant, which Mr. Selimaj now displays in his front window. Douglas J. Band, Counselor to President Clinton, wrote to him:

[W]e ask that you immediately remove that picture and any and all pictures displaying Ms. Clinton. We reserve the right to exercise any and all options available to us if you refuse to comply

In foreign policy, Democrats are continually telling us to act nice, speak diplomatically, and take threats "off the table." However, here, when presented with something where being nice to Mr. Selimaj might actually have worked and, instead, they threaten "to exercise any and all options." It often seems that there is a large gap between the policies that Democrats advocate and the policies that they actually pursue in their own lives.

Something similar happens with the minimum wage: Democrats advocate it strongly in public but their own organizations don't actually pay it.
