#1 He is doing his best to emulate Nero.

Or, he has completely given up.

Either way, he needs to fucking resign.

#2 DV, I'm beginning to think that Joe Biden would be a better president.

Someone please wake me from this nightmare.

#3 Joe Biden would be a better president. At least he has connections to experienced people other than community & labor organizers.

#5 I've been looking at the USGS earthquake map for that part of Japan. There are 479 earthquakes listed on the map, with all but five of them being along the northeast coast of Honshu. At least 40 of them were of magnitude 6.0 or greater. I don't remember even half that number of aftershocks following the Dec 2004 earthquake in Indonesia, nor this many significant shakes. The Japanese are suffering a severe attack from Mother Nature, and doing everything they can to survive it with dignity. I doubt we'd be able to do any better if such a disaster had hit San Francisco or Los Angeles. As for "President" O'bumble, the man is a total disgrace, and needs to flee with his family to Ghana or Togo and live in exile for the rest of his life

#6 It appears the earth has hit a settling period. What concerns me is Caribbean, Chile, Japan makes me think Washington or Australia...I'm just some goofball so don't go waiving hands around.

El Prez is a joke...I'm kinda sure people are not gathered around the ol tube watching that sports soap opera crap. Make a bracket, sure lotsa people will, but making it a big effin deal is a bit shallow at the moment.

Edited out, was going to take the whole thing apart, got tired of just recent examples. Long story short, those halo pics are not halos, but a golden sombrero and only half through the game.

#9 Maybe a little. But I don't miss any of the last several Presidents, least of all Obama, if something were to happen where he was impeached, resigned, or assassinated, so sorry, Joe might actually try harder and be better. I can't believe I just thought that... And I Duhhhhh-fffff-initely don't miss Clinton signing all our jobs away to foreign countries.

#10 Lot of W policies and had some disagreements with: amnysty, not putting together a 10 year energy plan post 9/11 with congress, the china spy plane incident I thought ended strangely, a loose afghan mission goal blah blah blah. I miss his character. W would have been all over this for Japan, obama gets handed a free slam dunk and misses the layup. I mean this guy has zero emotion unless at some event where everyone is praising him, notice that? Sure he does the inflections with the hesitancy of a first time reader but its blah. Contrast that with the full vocals at a fundraiser and the difference is extraordinary.

#11 What was the final count on how many high schools submitted requests for the Bracketer-in-Chief to come and assist the TOTUS in the graduation address? as of last week it was an amazing 14, then they extended the contest deadline.
As for Biden taking over, at least HE has a train station named after him, Bumble doesn't even have an outhouse with his name on it (yet)
