You cannot guard Prez in the open floor--he will look right and go left. Watch his feet, not his eyes.
I have decided to take Joe Biden’s advice. Remember, when he said that Prez would be tested, yadda yadda yadda, and what he might do might seem fucked up to us but it was really going to be the cool thing all along?
See, we all thought he was talking to the *Repugnants. He was talking to us the democratic wing of the Democratic Party.
So, here’s the deal.
Until otherwise persuaded, based upon his steady hand through the campaign, when we were all about the vapors, I am going to accept as strategic all appointments, perquisites, honors, speaking engagements, or what have you, that cause us to grind our teeth (Eg, Rick Warren) and make Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes alert their dry cleaners to problem protein stains in the pants of their business suits.
I believe he will get cover for his ultimate agenda through the simpletons on Fox News crowing over how he is fucking the left.
He is playing chess; they are playing checkers
*I’m still allowed to call them that, am I not? I mean, if they want to get right with the Baby Jesus, they can just change their registration.
Yes, yes, yes. And I think he is a good chess player. two fucking years, per your vernacular.
And he got better and better and better.
I saw one of McCain's campaign managers actually arguing with a host on MSNBC over whether Obama was a celebrity. This idiot was attempting to attack Obama for being a celebrity. That was this week.
So what? I swear, they have nothing on him right now. Eventually they will, of course. But the GOP is really lost on this.

a celebrity. That was this week.
As the song says, "how bizarre..."
It was dumb enough when they complained about the German "Steel Pecs" Tour, but the fact of the matter is that a newly elected US President is ex officio, as it were, a celebrity, if only on name recog.
Couple that with he's cool as shit, and what do you expect?

You know Jolly, the PE is going to have to face two, three or four million people on the 20th, and it wont even phase him. I swear the bigger the audience, the more energy he feels.

the more energy he feels.
It is instructive to see the difference between the emanation of calm confidence you get from Prez and the startled deer-in-headlights, here-comes-the-flop-sweat aura that surrounds G-dub anytime he has to perform in a venue less forgiving than, say, the *top of the bar at the DEKE house at Yale.
(*One Million Zimbabwe Dollars for pix of Bush dancing naked on that bar, per the urban legend...)

I guess we should be glad that they are calling him a celebrity rather than a "magic negro." After January 20th, they'll be calling him "Mr. President!"

magic negro
It is truly a measure of how out of touch are the 'pugnants (those that are left...), that just when we are heaving a profound sigh of relief to be turning our backs on all that *bullshit, some clown thinks he'll get over with his fellow pugs (and he oughtta know...) via what is, in essence, a 21st Century minstrell show.
*(Hint:where the form has a blank for "race" the only accurate answer: Human)

Myself, I call him Prez, 'cause he's cool like Lester Young.
