Wackydoodle axes: Is that your ass? |
The Current Occupant is suffering end-of-term blues. You can see it in his body language: he chews gum at world economic summits.
Bully-boy Putin appears gallant in comparison. The charm of the office without corners is gone; Americans are dissatisfied with the Current Occupant's performance and the ones who voted (only 36.6% of the eligible population, a record low) turned the midterm into a referendum on his administration (CBS exit poll data). Even more shocking to those in power is that Americans appear to be loosing faith in capitalism thanks to two big business political parties that
trade power every two years. If the CO escapes an impeachment effort instigated by the cockamamie tea drinkers in his last two years of office he will have to consider that a success. As Alexander Cockburn observed six years ago, "never has the dead hand of the past had a 'reform' candidate so firmly by the windpipe." So when are you buying your new Maserati, neighbor?
