Honestly, in all due fairness, having to be the president of united states has to blow ass. Looking at Obama as a person, I think he's intelligent.

Maybe not regarding certain decisions made. But the man's no dummy. But imagine this. You wake up in the morning, and it's your job to manage the mess that is the united states. You've got some ideas, and you try lobbing them around. What happens? Congress cock blocks you. They throw a temper tantrum and shut down.

You try to do anything remotely good and the entire country has a heart attack. And, assuming you even manage to do anything decent, when your terms are up, you pack your shit and you leave, essentially leaving the door open for the next asshole to come in and dismantle what little you accomplished.

If I were in his shoes?

Fuck yeah I'd be taking taking trips around the world. Fuck yeah I'd be shoving over weddings to have a game of golf. What the fuck else could he really do at this point but not enjoy his time while it lasts?

He knew what he was getting into.

Knowing what you're getting into and staying cheery throughout the entire process are two different things. You can always know what you're getting into but it still doesn't cover your ass once you're actually in the middle of it.

Haha, I don't care about your politics, or at least, I wouldn't try to discuss it because I believe it's all fucked beyond redemption. That goes for my country as well.

Moooostly just posting an onion article.

Well the US was as well.


Which reminds me of an old joke.

The British Empire sent all of their religious nuts to the US and their criminals to Australia.

Spoiler
Australia got the better deal.
