Problem Solving

Gerald Ford, exceptional athlete in college, was characterized as clumsy and by extension an incompetent President because he stumbled coming down the steps of Air Force One. George W. Bush was ridiculed as ignorant and a draft dodger despite a Harvard MBA and six years in military jets.

But some people get a pass, even when the evidence is overwhelming that they can't deal with simple problems.



Should he call a staff meeting? Is Rahm available to deal with this? Should the Secret Service have the gate cut down? Can't he control the weather? Is Michelle offering a clue to squat down and make the Bamster and the umbrella smaller? Should he attempt to loft the umbrella over the cross-bar? Will they get wet if he tries to edge the umbrella under the bar? Did he forget his jacket? Why didn't protocol check out the width of the gate and the umbrella? Will he ever come back to New Orleans?

What a putz! This guy must be dumber than a post. This is a guy who disparaged more than 500,000 people who spent their time and money to go to Washington for a rally encouraging a return of honor to this country, something which is desperately needed in our country in general and congress in particular. I don't have the words to convey the depth of my disgust with this jerk who is our president.

The comparison to a box of rocks comes to mind...

If it had been Bush in that picture, we'd be seeing it posted everywhere for years. But the media has too much invested in their boy to treat him the way that they treated the last president.
