@54. Marty:
mea culpa re: 1

re: 3, My point exactly, campaigning is fun, all that travelling in Soro’s jet, the media, the crowds, what a BLAST! Being POTUS, on the other hand; all those long meetings with staff, all that really hard reading stuff, nobody lining up to cheer every time you go somewhere, all that hard reading stuff, Congress not doing as they are told, all that hard reading stuff. Man what a buzz-kill. Almost like being back in school except you can’t hide what you are doing and people ACTUALLY pay attention to what you write, instead of giving you an A+ grade (oops, Columbia doesn’t bother with grades).

School is over kiddo, the beer-bong is put away (along with the pot and the coke). Now it is time to get to work and none of the slackers in the WH (or on the staff) have the serious mind or work-ethic to make it fly.

As I said earlier, there is little left but to pray.
