It’s
great to have a cool President, particularly when the world is crumbling around
us. Our healthcare system is exploding into an
incomprehensive mess, our economy is still on life support provided by
the U.S. taxpayer, an airliner with 239 passengers has vanished, and our
nemesis, Mother Russia with a fading economy half the size of Italy, is
muscling us around like a bully after annexing the Crimea from the Ukraine. All
of this on the premise that they are responding to the desperate call of those
“ethnic” Russians pleading for help from those nasty “fascists” preparing to
take over the government in Kiev from the Putin crony who was in the process ceding
the country to Russia anyway.
All
this, and our President goes on an Internet show, Between Two Ferns, in some sort of a comedy routine with Zach
Galifanakis, of the Hangover movie
series fame, to plug the Obamacare website. Following this he goes on a radio
show, with Ryan Seacrest, the fellow who hosts American Idol and those red carpet award shows on cable. Does anyone
over 25 watch or listen to this? This is all released in a US magazine article with photos of our
cool President hanging out with various celebrities like Justin Bieber, with
Bieber saying, “What’s up, dude?” to the President, while he responds, “What’s
up, Biebs?”
Most of the news about this President comes from US magazine, sort of the Wall Street Journal for celebrity worshippers under 25, one step below People magazine. However, the President does do important work. I saw a photo of him recently in his oval office casually dressed in jeans while he is talking with Vladimir Putin on the phone – at least that was what we were told.
Just
how does this President get things done? Well, we learn from Sean Blanda on his
99U website that he usually wakes at 7 AM, works out 45 minutes every day, not
including his basketball games or frequent golf outings. He watches a lot of “Sportscenter”
and dines each night with the family. To limit “decision fatigue” he likes to set policy via memos
where he can check the box on “agree”, ‘disagree”, or “let’s discuss”.
Maybe we need an “uncool” President who is fat and doesn’t care how he looks in jeans and doesn’t spend his days testing his wits against a Hollywood stoner or bantering with Ryan Seacrest while a European ally is being invaded by Russia. One who would rather spend his time working than working out. Someone who our enemies don’t consider a “prankster”.
Folks,
what’s going on in the Ukraine is similar to Hitler’s pre-World War II
activities; while Russia is laughing at these so-called sanctions and Putin is
having delusions of grandeur, as his propaganda chief says they can “reduce us to radioactive dust”.
It
doesn’t really matter. Barack ……..he’s really cool!
