Bush Needs Support, Understanding
04 10 2002
Our Leader
For the first several months of his administration, our “duly elected” president basically ignored foreign policy vis-a-vis the Middle East, Israel, and the Palestinians. And I for one don’t blame him a bit.
Come on, people. Try for just one moment to put yourself in his shoes. You just got this very prestigious job for which you’re completely unqualified, and the whole world is watching. You have to put your best foot forward. Obviously, the only sensible course of action is to ignore the parts of the job that are too complicated for you to understand, and focus instead on aspects of the job at which you excel. These aspects include cutting government aid to the needy, increasing government aid to the wealthy, suppressing information that might be damaging to your dad or his pals, and raping the environment in a more cost-effective fashion than previously thought possible. His only foreign policy move was nearly restarting the Cold War with the Russians.
Oh, it’s very easy for the critics to point fingers and say, “As President, Bush should have thought about foreign policy, at least a little.” But I for one believe he was probably going to get around to it eventually. When he first started as President, Bush thought the Mideast was somewhere just to the right of the Midwest, probably near Ohio. Our president has learned a lot in the months since then, and I think we can all agree that, if given a globe today, Bush could find Israel on it within a couple of minutes. Give or take.
And that, my friends, shows some progress.
Are the President and I the only people in America who ever lied on a resume? I don’t think so. Let’s show a little compassion for that poor bastard in the White House, America. He’s in way over his head, and he needs our support for the next two and a half years until we can get somebody better in there.
