#1 The details are six years old; the concept is current and relevant.

#2 He will never accept responsibility for any mistakes. Always blaming someone else. He is the arrogant classroom smart ass. If charged with a crime, his response, "Not guilty."

He just got a cool $30 million to write a book. So with everything a mess he's still trying to figure out what to say and is likely still stuck on chapter 1. And if crap hits the fan here regarding him, do expect him to stay where he is for a while, until his base puts out the fire.

#3 Who knows for certain, but each passing day appears to bring new revelations of potential wrong-doing at the highest levels.

#4 Exile? More than likely he is taking advantage of a lack of extradition agreements between the U.S. and French Polynesia and scoping out the pool boys.

#6 There really are an awful lot of islands out there. Some of them might require passports and visas but with enough money you could probably get some credible forgeries. You get a nice yacht with a discreet rogue of a captain and a suitcase full of cash and you could probably disappear for quite some time.

#7 I am grateful that Mr. Obama was one of our lazier presidents. He did quite enough temporary damage with his phone and his pen; he would have done much more, lasting much longer, had he instead exerted himself to get all those things passed into law.

On the other hand, that $30 million advance will evaporate quickly, given that the family are spending like that will be their regular income. But if he doesn't quickly start delivering real access to power, the way the Clintons did until dear Hillary lost her last election, the donations and speaking invitations will dry up. I don't see that he has any other cards to play, given that poor Michelle openly loathes politics and the people who engage in it, an opinion that seems shared by their daughters.

#9 We knew that it shouldn't disturb us,
But some were a little bit nervous.
"Today?" shrieked the preacher.
"I'm off to the beach! Er...
I guess this'll be my last service."

#10 Ref #7. I always suspected indolence was somehow a virtue.

TW, it is the first time I've agreed with much of what Mooch has said.
