Well, if you’re a person capable of reading a sentence and making it all the way to the end without forgetting what it was about, you can learn some things about our President. And if this describes his supporters, which it may not, they have some reconciling to do.

The Keystone XL pipeline is a perfect example. We all know what this meant: Canada was willing to pay us a ton of money to hire thousands of people to build them a pipeline. This was a perfect win-win for Obama, and a lose-lose for China (the next candidate). The GOP backed the idea (as did many Democrats, for the same reasons), but the far left hated the idea because (a) anything associated with oil is inherently big business bad, and (b) we ought to be more like China.

And so the President said No. So here is what we learned:

– The President does not care about creating jobs at all. He just doesn’t.

– He would rather see $7 billion go to China than to American workers.

– Not helping Canada is like promising to help a friend move, and then not showing up.

– He automatically says No to anything the GOP recommends (we see it a lot, but here is a perfectly clear example)

– He would rather listen to the far left to get six extra votes than earn thousands of votes by doing the right thing.

The President then went immediately to DisneyWorld to sing an Al Green song in hopes that this increases tourism here. Does anybody see how stupid this is? Has anyone told him this is not what candidates do when trying to impress the country?

This will be reflected as a dip in the polls, because Americans, for the umpteenth time, are way smarter than this guy is. Year 3 of the Amateur Hour continues.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
