Obama looking weird

[JR8]

Smuggling a wiener under that lip.... or, summink?

[QRM]

Looks like a quiet day in the man cave?

Regardless of party affiliation, I have to ask: Why would one want to take a job, that at its core, is one of the most complicated and problematic in the world, while suffering the outrage of horrible attacks by those who have no idea what is entailed in being the President of the United States.

I like Obama... I know others don't. I didn't like George Bush junior... others do... but at the bottom of it all, each of these men deserve respect for the really tough ferking job they thought they really wanted to have.

I agree with you. It takes a character/personality that is off the scale of comprehension to the average man on the street, IMHO. I imagine you have to an unfailing 1000% compelling self-belief that you can make a difference that no other can.

It's a curious thing, as once you've reached such heights your life as it was previously is over. You're never ever going to 'just walk into a pub/bar and have a quiet beer'. Even CEOs of PLCs/Inc can usually return to anonymity post retirement, but not a PM/President. Royalty don't get a choice, and I do not envy them for one second of one single day... but politicians actively choose and fight like heck to get on this path...


p.s. There was nothing partisan about the choice of photo, I just came upon it. If GWBv2 was in a pic doing the same instead of BO, then I've had posted it instead together with the snarky title/comment


--- Blimey I just wrote OBL i/o BO. These painkillers plus other meds are messing with my head, but I feel great! hehehe...woohoo!
