Pleased to Meet You, Hope You Guess My Name

President Obama (D. Kenya (I kid)) visited Ground Zero and laid a wreath yesterday. He was lucky anyone there recognized him since he'd never bothered to stop by as President, last visiting the site during his 2008 campaign (hmmm...I hear there's an election coming up). He's spent all the 9/11 anniversaries as President in Washington, D.C., thinking about golf. Luckily, our President, who is so sensitive that there was no need to "spike the ball" by releasing pictures of the body of Usama bin Laden, felt perfectly comfortable doing this particular end-zone dance. If he had a Bengals jersey on I would have thought he was Chad Johnson (formerly Ochocinco, formerly Johnson).

It appears President Obama also laid an egg during his visit. Debra Burlingame, sister of the pilot of the plane that struck the Pentagon, had the impertinence to ask the President if he would recommend to Attorney General Eric Holder to stop seeking prosecution of CIA agents who used "enhanced" interrogation techniques to get the information that led to the locating and killing of Usama Bin Laden. President Obama simply said "no", turned his back on her and walked away (if he had slowly walked away I swear that would be a parody of a love song).

I'm happy that we got bin Laden, but I have to agree with David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, the man who said "let's roll" before the passengers stormed the cockpit of United flight 97, that his excessive use of the personal pronoun shows he's putting the spotlight on himself.

As 2Pac would say if he wasn't dead, All Eyez on Me.

P.S. Yes, I'm making up for not posting since April 28. Now leamme lone, Don.

  1. I personally prefer U Cant C Me by 2Pac. If there is one thing I admire about our President it is how much time he spends thinking about golf.
