re: #438 Decatur Deb

If the President had attended, it would have flipped the RWNJs instantly to the anti-Charlie mode. They would have dragged out every obnoxious cartoon they had ever produced as an example of Obama’s ‘endorsement’.

When every course of action guarantees fauxtrage, the leader is given a perverse freedom. “They’ll howl the same no matter what we do—fuck’em.”

If POTUS did attend, the TCOTs would change their talking points to complain about the cost to taxpayers of flying Air Force One, “Paris vacation”, and of course Michelle’s shopping sprees.
