Obama & Nero

Roanoke Times, 11-1-09, Pg 3: Afgan election issues drag on; runner-up withdrawing from election do-over and may call for boycott.

Obama likes to compare himself to Lincoln.
What a gigantic stretch and metamorphosis
A more reasonable comparison is
Obama and Nero
-
Obama The Muller-in-chief (mulls while our troops die)
Nero the Fiddler-in-chief (plays while Rome burned)
-
Our troops are fighting and bleeding and dieing in a war Obama has recently declared has no strategy (he had one in March but apparently he lost it). He mulls away the months confounded and confused, asking everyone he meets for help and looking for a political cover-strategy and NOT for a winning-strategy.
-
If I add more troops than Bush had planned – my left-wing liberal base will have Michael Moore make nasty movies about me.
-
If I don’t add more troops than Bush had planned – it will appear that Bush had the right plan and I’ll look stupid and incompetent. For this option it’s important that Biden be identified as the architect of the plan.

What to do? What to do? Things were so much easier as a Community Organizer.
I know! Let’s declare the Afgan elections no good and we need a do-over. That will fool everyone into agreeing that I should continue to fiddle while our troops are fighting and dieing. Everyone will be fooled except the enemy.
And, let’s blame everything on Karzi! No one likes him anyway and making him the goat will ensure that no one can say I didn’t do everything possible to save Afghanistan! To add creditability to the story let’s make Karzi’s brother a bad guy too! Two villains are better than one! I’ll have Panetta’s CIA leak a story today to the NYT! Leon’s just a Clinton political hack, he’ll do whatever.

Just more hope and change we can believe in!
