Pinkie!
That's the awesome thing about TPC and The Current Truth™... It is, by it's very definition, always Current! Just another reason why our Rufescent Rectilinear Rudder is a genius nonpareil... and no matter how absent I may be, whether temporally or temporally, it will forever be Current. Geeze... I almost feel like I should shout Viva La Cube!
That's exactly what Obama's been doing on the campaign trail with his latest speech on the economy and his Pivot #498 to Joe Biden's favorite three-letter word—jobs! That's still the first thing he thinks of when he wakes up in the morning, and the last thing he thinks of before going to sleep at night. Yes, he has a laser-like focus on it now!
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...
Why is it I can remember everything that happened before the first half of 2008
and now I can barely remember what happened last week?
Again, Sister—just like Obama! He, too, remembers everything that happened during the Bush years, when Bush was destroying America and bequeathing a colossal mess to Obama who, even though he campaigned on telling us how horrible everything was, didn't realize until he took office that it was, in fact, infinitely worse than he'd thought! (Obviously Bush kept a lot of stuff under wraps, and how the NYT missed dutifully leaking them we may never know.)
So busy is Obama with the responsibilities of the presidency, that he can't remember anything more recent, either—like the fact that The Party had a supermajority in Congress the first two years of his term, and still controls the Senate. He's just so exhausted and stressed out from the enormous mess he inherited from Bush, that how can we expect him to remember anything these days, except that he killed Osama bin Laden and everything else is Bush's fault?
Even gods are human.
As was mentioned in that surprising and wonderful commentary on Obama's history and presidency in the Washington Post, he's not known for his original thinking, and it's another instance of his borrowing excuses from his Democratic predecessors... It's always a problem or situation they inherited from the previous party's administration... but isn't that the nature of democracy and partisan politics? If you take over from another party's administration, it's a job you asked for, based on the notion that they could do a better job... So why spend so much time bitching about it and why not just get on with the job you asked for? Those that can, do. Those that can't, and don't have the strength of will or imagination to actually do the job, blame. Sadly, all to often, it's a strategy that works with the useful idiots, because it's one they can relate to... they're so used to blaming everyone else for their problems instead of just getting on with the job of fixing things... That would require too much imagination and initiative. Funny thing though... I thought that he was voted in on a mandate of Change. How soon they forget.
... not that I can really criticize, given how soon I forget... heheheheh...
Ahhh... Pinkie... I've missed you... and I have a sudden craving for beets... I dunno why. Now I'm off to look up some reference material on Greek mythology and horticulture in the hopes of contributing something more meaningful than, "I think I just vomited in my mouth a little..." Perhaps it's the notion that "narkao" or "I grow numb" strikes so close to home for the Massively Opiated. In fact, I grew numb just a little while ago... heheheh... I wonder what "I grow deaf, dumb, and blind," is in ancient Greek?
