Sounds of (Almost) Presidential Silence
Barack H. Obama, who has spent the last many months bleating like a violated goat about the evil perpetrated by George W. Bush (used both middle initials in the interest of fairness) and who staked his entire presidential campaign on making that fruit as rotten as possible and hanging it around the neck of anyone who opposed him (first Hillary R. Clinton and then John S. McCain) (notice I continue the middle initial tradition — this is for the NSA — do not come to my house, please — I do not find you amusing), now declares that PROTOCOL and DECORUM trumps all other considerations? Am I missing something? Or, is that smell coming from somewhere else?
