President Molasses P. Dawdle*


*And the "P" stands for Pokey.

"I will never rush the solemn decision of sending you into harm's way. I won't risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary."

Unless, of course, you're already over there waiting for back-up. Then it's just your tough luck.

I've seen glaciers with a greater sense of urgency than this bozo.

The picture of the sloth is so appropriate for this post. And you are dead on.

I'm glad you liked it! "Slothful" is the word - except maybe a little disrespectful toward sloths. After all, they don't choose to be slow.

Oh, and the "P" stands for "Pokey".

At least glaciers don't have a political calculus attached to their movements.

Yeah, I'm sure that the sailors and Marines he addressed were all able to extrapolate that if it were THEM that he sent into harm's way, he would send backup, if he felt like it, in a year or so. Once he finished thinking about it. Of course, that whole thinking thing is soooooo hard to fit into the party and vacation schedule.

Of course, delaying his decision until after elections in Virgina and NY-23 is totally coincidental.

Of course.

Everything President Obiwon does is calculated to the last tick of political expediency. Everything. And He is so Marvelous that the American people will never notice. Uh huh.
