Our National Soap Opera


I have finally discovered how the Obama administration conducts its foreign policy.  The writers of the soap opera As the World Turns are locked in a room each weekend to come up with the latest international plot twists and turns.  Then our State Department actors are allowed to improvise on these delivered scripts ... without telling the White House how the week's episodes actually went during the show's taping.  Since there is a two week delay between these tapings and their airings, President Obama also has to ad lib what he thinks went on ... and he is usually quite a bit off the mark.  This obvious failing however is papered over by these same script writers because they have previously had Obama develop a bad case of amnesia during his futile attempts to get our national fiscal auto out of the ditch into which the Republicans had driven it.

In the very latest episode Obama is shown wondering aimlessly around the Bethesda Country Club golf course ... looking for his long-time playing partner, Jeremiah Wright ... and muttering something about the chickens coming home to roost.
