Oh, The Stress! The Irritations! From These GROUNDLINGS!!

By Francis W. Porretto

Have a gander at an egregious instance of the terrible nuisances we lesser ones unthinkingly inflict on our Commander-In-Chief:
President Obama, alighting from the stairs of Air Force One in Phoenix this afternoon, was greeted by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who handed him an envelope and the two exchanged what appeared to be some heated sentiments. At one point, she pointed her finger at him.

Asked afterward what happened, Brewer said, “He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast.

“I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt,” she said, according to a pool report. “He didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn’t get my sentence finished. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup.”

I am reminded of Mark Steyn's observation that Obama acts as if the presidency is "too small for him." You don't "diss" a man like that -- obviously a creature of a higher order than any of us mere mortals -- who's graciously condescended to "clean up your mess for you." Especially, you don't "do a lot of talking;" that would be lese majeste. (Anyone else remember that emission from The Won?)

If Obama isn't the single largest individual disaster to be inflicted upon American government by an unthinking populace, he can occupy that slot while I complete my research.

  1. I’m surprise she didn’t hand him a subpoena.

    JB: Barack Obama?
    BHO (hesitantly): Y-yes?
    JB (hands him a folded subpoena): You’ve been served.

    To appear in court to answer for any one of a number of crimes against the People of the State of Arizona.

  2. I can’t remember the wag that said it, but I’ll just note that I’m not the originator of it:  Obama can’t possibly be a Muslim since doing so would mean he acknowledges a higher power than himself.
