How our Presidents really earn their pay: dealing with their fuck-ups. |
|
Notice the difference here:
When Bush fucks up: He doubles-down. He uses Orwellian language to redefine fuck-up to mean astounding success. He pours billions of dollars into the fuck-up, under the assumption that with enough money, the fuck-up will fix itself. He has his media talking heads run flack for him, praising his fuck-up, and calling those who call him out on the fuck-up unpatriotic and so on. But under no circumstances does he admit he made a mistake.
When Obama fucks up: He goes into damage control mode. He revises his tactics. He looks at what happened to figure out where things went pear-shaped. He takes corrective actions. He even admits he fucked up, and doesn't let ego get in the way of doing his job.
Tomorrow will be better, folks.

1. I AM impressed that he faced this head-on and simply said " I screwed up" |

NEVER EVER would we hear bu$hit say that - and everything bu$hit even THOUGHT about much less DID - he f*cked up - royally.
Would he EVER admit it? H311 no.
It is a refreshing CHANGE to have a President who admits his mistakes, changes his tactics and goes from there. NO bu$hit about it. I like that.

When I first read that bit of news, it took me almost five minutes to realize, "Oh, holy shit, it's not Bush anymore! Dyer!"
We've got a lot of healing to do!
