So, where does this leave us? It leaves us with the brutal realism that "putting out the fire" isn't going to come from this status quo President. Maybe the Congress (for a change), but definitely NOT Barack Obama (he still hasn’t “earned” a Presidential title).
So just like the George W. Bush horror show years, the core dynamics of social, biological change are going to have to come from us. The people. You and me and our neighbors -- including internet neighbors.
Is Obama a hopeless case with his "political" ten percent masquerading as ninety percent? Well (to extend the fire analogy) if we KEEP HIS FEET TO THE FIRE maybe he'll be the patriotic American he pretended to be in the primaries. Maybe he'll have a change of heart and conscience and fundamentally deal with the fire, i.e., deal with The Beast.
But for now, it's thumbs down and no mistake. Sad but true, so as per usual the buck stops with us. For the moment at least, we need to ignore Obama and concentrate on the Congress and the Will of the People (i.e., apolitical strategies).
One thing is certain. You don't putz around and talk a lot of smiley, smug talk when your home is on fire. And you don’t squander your integrity and credibility by sucking up to elitist Bill Clinton and the The United States of the Israel (the Chinese name for America).
Oh FDR, FDR, if only we could resurrect you . . .
