A TALE OF TWO PRESIDENTS

I know.

Comparisons are odious.

But comparisons can be very instructive.

Take a look at this. What I've been saying all this time! My bumper sticker; "I miss Bill".

Unlike Clinton, Bush Sees Hanoi in Bit of a Hurry

The comparison is simple.

One was a President. The other is not.

It is so fucking simple to see.

Public diplomacy is very important.

It may be the key to our national pride and purpose. Never mind the bumper stickers.

But this guy cannot even be 'public' in his own country. Years of managed photo opp campaign oriented appearances have even insulated him from his own people.

How the hell could the NYT writers expect that he would even deign to see the real world.

He want to see what he believes in. And that, apparently, is the space about two feet in front of his smirking, know it all face.

What a failure.

I just hope that we can recover from it.
