Personally, I couldn't get past that idiotic subtitle, "Barry is Bored." When an American city is convulsed with race riots, ISIS has forced the U.S. to become involved in Iraq again, Netanyahu seems hell-bent on slaughtering every civilian in Gaza and a huge volcano in Iceland is about to blow, the President of the United States may be many things, but "bored" is not one of them. <br /><br />And that infantilizing, patronizing "Barry," again! Maureen the Mentalist Manque is sure yet again that she can read the mind of someone she doesn't even know and print her bad fiction on an opinion page. And yes, it is quite relevant to remind this country how she was instrumental in getting Bush elected in 2000. It's also worth mentioning that she predicted again and again that Obama couldn't win in 2008, because he was too weak to stand up to Hillary Clinton. First he couldn't win the primaries. Then when he did, he wouldn't be able to stop Hillary from hijacking the convention. When that didn't happen, then he was going to be too weak to prevent Hillary from conniving with John McCain. Well, oops again, but nothing stops Dowd from believing her own narrative once she's written it. I think now the main reason why she won't give Obama a break is that she's furious at him for not following her script.

If this is truly so, bravo for him. <br /><br />The last time a POTUS took pretrial sides in a case of national clamor, the esteemed Richard Nixon opined that Charles Manson was "guilty of eight murders."<br /><br />As Press Secretary Ron Ziegler later explained, the Whittier Law School-trained Nixon simply forgot to say the magic word "allegedly." Nevertheless, the nation fell into an uproar. The defense screamed for a mistrial. It was all very embarrassing. Would these monsters be freed because of Nixon's big mouth?<br /><br />Mercifully, the prosecutorial skills of Victor Bugliosi delivered us all from the ruinous effects of Nixon's blunder, and the mad dog Manson and his merry band of Woodstock rejects were removed from decent society forever...<br /><br />... not that I'm comparing the officer who pumped six bullets into an unarmed schoolchild to a bunch of drug-crazed hippie ritual mass murderers.
