The President is a Fool

"This is never an easy thing for the voters of this country to accept.

No. Nonsense. The president cannot be a Fool. Not at this moment in time -- when the last living vestiges of the American Dream are on the line. This is not the time to have bogus rich kid in charge of the White House.

Which is, after all, our house. That is our headquarters -- it is where the heart of America lives. So if the president lies and acts giddy about other people's lives -- if he wantonly and stupidly endorses mass murder as a logical plan to make sure we are still Number One -- he is a Jackass by definition -- a loud and meaningless animal with no functional intelligence and no balls.
