You’re the President of the most powerful nation in the world. You’re being blamed for the current economic turmoil, while your Treasury Secretary is busy making a fool of himself. Your business experience, a cornerstone of your campaign, is being shown to be a fraud, even by conservatives, while your Vice President is being sued by a conservative watchdog group over his allegedly fraudulent behavior as a CEO. And if that weren’t enough, you’re preparing for war.

But do people REALLY think that a guy who can take a 1 month vacation from his 6 figure salary job to play golf and go to his ranch REALLY understands their day to day problems?
I guess the upside is, he’s not at work messing up more stuff.
Honestly?
I think he needs an excuse to get Karen Hughes’ advice. Things have relaly gone downhill for them since they lost her to the Texas GOP.
Well, that and the fact that he is a lazy s.o.b.
