You know * and his gang thought being President meant one long PR campaign

[Skidmore]

They thought it was all about playing to the cameras and mugging. Darn, you could handle this job with one arm tied behind your back, from Crawford, and with a bale of hay to stand by and shuck and jive. No real work done the first year and then came the hard work of destruction and war. Now they are stuck with the results of one helluva bad PR job and still insisting that little psychonerd, Karl, is a genius to be followed into the conflagration.

1. No they didn't. They knew full well what the job entails. These guys...

...aren't rookies. They went in intending to let government fail, and the PR campaign is simply to reinforce that with a message of "big government is bad."

NGU.

3. They knew full well what the job entails:

Pretending to run the government.

Letting it fail to prove their ptrmise that government doesn't work, while focusing intently on the backroom wheeling and dealing to enrich themselves at the expense of not just all Americans, but now, the entire world.

2. Less than a year after the chimp infestation assumed

power, the discerning among us were pointing out that they were in constant campaign mode, that they could not handle the switch to governing mode and everything they did was designed from the P R grease they were applying to themselves and their "base."

These oh so bright people simply cannot handle the work end, only understanding, as could be expected, the cheer leading.

about the leopard's inability to change his spots?
