Call Me Crazy, But ...

Call Me Crazy, But Think I've Been Here Before

During Watergate the nation was spared the sad, and potentially dangerous, specter of a sitting president going stark raving mad in office. Adults in Nixon's own party conducted an intervention, leading their emotionally - and increasingly mentally - crippled leader safely off the world stage. It was an act of both statrtallyesmanship and patriotism by that handful of sage-like Republicans. It was also an act of kindness and compassion for a mo wounded leader -- albeit the wounds were self-inflected.

So, is the president cracked or cracking? Or is what I witnessed this week just more of the uninformed, spoiled, arrogant little putz that 71% of us have come to dislike. Only time will tell -- but time is short.

The next few months will be very hard on him.  Maybe too hard. We may see the weight of it all too much for a guy accustomed to getting his own way and never having to acknowledge, much less clean up, his own messes. [Call Me Crazy, But Think I've Been Here Before]


Call Me Crazy, But Think I've Been Here Before

Oh Lawdy Miss Clawdy, I've done it again.  I've confused memories of the cloying smuggery Washington media uses to describe presidents— Republican presidents— they hated.  In this case The Smirking Chimp too quickly delighted over George Bush' s abject failure in Iraq.  In 2006.  Ah, here's what I was looking for. The last three paragraphs from  Obama says everything and nothing do the trick.

Just what “clean sources of energy” is doing in a speech on Afghanistan is anyone’s guess. As the 2012 campaign begins to take shape, Mr. Obama is again trying to be all things to all people. The only difference is, this time, he’s in the driver’s seat.

As much as he tries to push attention away from the nation’s dire economy, it’s clear just who drove it into the ditch this time.

And it’s even more clear that the president has no idea what to say.


Lots of us are by now aware that you can take just about any criticism, of any Republican by the Democrat Media Complex, and by swapping the name to a democrat counterpart arrive at something resembling the truth.  In this case, Obama ought be removed while there's still something left to build on.

You must be talking to Kissinger. Henry is a towering figure, in his own mind.

It's the Peter Principle. And guess where he's putting it.

"Mr. Obama is ... in the driver’s seat."

Interesting theory...

It gives a whole new twist to "Driving Ms. Daisy", or is it driving the Wookie?

I think some medical-grade weed would do the Prez a lot of good.
