He doesn’t call the dems in congress (as no less than Chris Matthews confirms) because he just doesn’t want to talk to these people and dirty his hands, or waste his time, or SOMETHING. He just doesn’t want to
He will make speeches but not engage
He gets to go to any game, any show, and meet the svelte, the beautiful, the athletic, the stars and star makers,… THAT’S GOOD STUFF
He will demonize opposition, but never credit them with the same good intentions he has
He will arrange critical failures to place blame rather than cooperate to ensure success (the ENTIRE Supercommittee idea… after Bowles Simpson reported and was then ignored)
He is a child who wants it his way. Wants REALITY to be HIS WAY.
Now that it’s NOT… he has come to see he just doesn’t LIKE what the job requires to be successful. He likes the office, he likes he can get his pals and think alikes nice jobs (who wouldn’t?). He likes the company plane and the travel. He likes the stuff that makes his wife happy.
It’s just all this other STUFF people expect him to do with these congressional fools which is SUCH A PAIN, and SO BORING because they just don’t listen.
And then the PEOPLE, UGH!!
“Over the last decade, we became a country that relied too much on what we bought and consumed.”
- President Obama, Nov. 19, 2011
“Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns.”
- President Carter, July 15, 1979
I mean, WHO NEEDS ALL THIS?
After all, soon he will be able to do MOST OF THIS, make $150k for a half hour speech, endorse some scotch in Japan for a few million, and NOT BOTHER with the rest.
Sounds good to me too.
