Digression is the Better Part of Valor?
Obama is now saying that he didn’t say what he said the way he meant to say what he said — or some sort of convoluted political mumbo-jumbo. I wonder what would happen if we ever heard an elite politician say the following words: “I am sorry. I was wrong. I am responsible for my words. There is no excuse.” I tell you what would happen… there would be an ice skating rink “Grand Opening” smack dab in the middle of the deepest level of hell. In the meantime here’s a motivational poster we came up with to help the rest of us schmucks understand why we never hear those words coming out of the mouths of politicians.

Toga! Toga! Toga!
This may be Oblahma’s Dukakis moment.
We can only hope.
Poor Barry. He was raised with a silver foot in his mouth.

“I am sorry. I was wrong. I am responsible for my words. There is no excuse.”
What a grand idea…to actually take responsibility for what you said (or did) and apologize….genuinely.

Wouldn’t that change the face of politics?

Al, you said it. A silver foot indeed! I guess it’s a good thing that silver tarnishes. Maybe he will realize one day that he is subject to the same order of the universe that the rest of schmucks are ascribed too.
Jade, it would change the face of politics profoundly because I honestly think it would take a normal, average, hard working American to handle saying that.
