Oh, No, He DIY'NT!!!
Another week of the Obama Presidency passes " and oh, no, he diy’nt …
He didn’t ignore any intelligence briefings that resulted in a major attack on NYC and Washington D.C.
He didn’t allow anyone on his staff to out a covert CIA agent.
He didn’t direct that anyone be tortured while touting his “I’m a good Christian” credentials.
He didn’t launch a “Shock & Awe” offensive against a nation he claimed had WMDs which were never there.
He didn’t go on vacation while a US city was left to drown.
He didn’t use the words “misunderestimate” or “put food on your family” " no, not even once.
He didn’t address a single crisis by reading “The Pet Goat” to a schoolroom full of kids.
He didn’t land on an aircraft carrier anywhere, at any time " photographed in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner or otherwise.
He didn’t embarrass the nation by acting like a buffoon on the world stage.
He didn’t fall off a bike or choke on a pretzel in a drunken stupor, and call it an “unfortunate accident”.
He didn’t appeal to anyone’s paranoia, homophobia, or xenophobia in order to advance any agenda.
He didn’t babble incoherently in front of a microphone or TV camera, requiring scores of MSM talking hairdos to spend hours “explaining” what he really meant to say.
He didn’t hand out any no-bid contracts to companies in which his family and/or VP or cabinet members are major shareholders.
He didn’t give Jeff Gannon press credentials, no less call on him during a press conference.
He didn’t resort to discussing the “Axis of Evil”, nor any other scare tactic to instil fear in the citizenry.
He didn’t attempt to give Angela Merkel a back massage, nor insist on speaking to any foreign leader with his mouth full of food.
He didn’t greet a single foreign dignitary, military leader, organization representative, soldier, charity head, nor ordinary citizen (foreign or domestic) with a chimp-like smirk and the profound words, “Heh-heh.”
Considering the glorious history of our nation " with the glaring exception of the past eight years " it seems downright astonishing that we, as a country, can now revel in the simple joy of a president who doesn’t make a complete ass of himself, and us, every time he opens his mouth in public.
Seems like a lifetime since that happened. And I, for one, just can’t seem to get the smile off my face.
Thanks, President Obama " not only for what you’re doing, but for all the things you don’t do. I appreciate it more than I can say.
