Another Symbol Falls

Here we sit, three business days before the market must decide to sell off and take capital gains now, or stay in for the new year with the possibility of huge tax increases WHILE four million unemployed americans face the reality of Christmas with no income, having lost or soon to lose unemployment compensation. Congress knows that it must extend the Bush tax cuts and should extend unemployment compensation to keep the country from sliding deeper into the depression but is mired in debate on class warfare and pork barrel spending. The president, sensing trouble, calls in a beloved former president to rally democrats around his deal. But he's late for a party and turns the important presidential press conference over to the former president.

This unprecedented behavior demeans his office while showing utter disregard for his job. When has a president ever turned his press conference over to someone to go to a party? And when has a president ever walked away from a crisis to go to a party? Ever?

For many americans an increase in taxes and loss of unemployment compensation is a crisis. Businesses, investors, savers, retirees and workers are facing tax increases that might be the difference between survival and failure. The unemployed are staring into the abyss. The economic future of the country is at risk. Yet all fucktard Obama can think about is being late to his party.

Obama has treated his office with contempt and has done more to destroy the office of President than anyone, ever, in it's history. From his appointees to his comments to his Constitutional abuses to his bowing and his constant godddamned vacations he has consistently treated the office like some piss poor convenience store manager.

The left has tried to destroy the office of President for decades, culminating in the disgraceful treatment of President Bush. But it took an actual President, in the office, to finish off whatever magic the office had. Some vile rapper or gang banger could not have done a worse impersonation of a President of the United States.

Two years ago, a man standing in front of the Presidential Seal commanded respect and power around the world. With a word a President could move nations, command men to fight to the death, even destroy nations. Love or hate, agree or disagree the President commanded and received respect around the world. Now it's just some dude who's standing in for some other dude who went to a party while a crisis burned outside the doors.

The symbol of the Presidency has been thrown on the growing trashheap of Western civilization.
