leader of the free world*

so our president has a lot of issues. sort of feel for the guy. sort of how you feel for the dumb kid who keeps burning himself on the red stove. sure he’s an idiot for repeatedly doing it, but you know it hurts.

what i don’t understand is how he can continue to make such a gigantic ass out of himself. even a nobody like angelina jolie pulled in the reins a bit when everyone thought she was batshit crazy. apparently the administration isn’t interested in damage control as their supporting party falls apart at every seam.

the guy makes the US look like the short bus of the world: at the G8 (eating with mouth full making off-handed comments of things he obviously had no clue about followed up with the “shit heard ’round the world” and then works in an obviously inappropriate shoulder rub to pretty much cover all bases), in iraq (having been forced to go back on all reasons for entering the war and having no plan as to how to end it), and now the I-L crisis (ignoring it for too long and then ignoring israel’s slaughtering of civilians and taking out a UN post to condemn iran’s involvement).

*free meaning an american approved form of rule. but free is pretty fucking expensive.

    A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesman and philosophers and divines. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

    This repetitive behavior confounds me. You can find the same problem locally: Mark Kennedy votes along GOP lines the way those rats are trained to hit a certain button to get treats.

    Eventually, they eat and eat and eat until they explode. But, man, what a way to go!
