It's hell.

I’m waiting for Barack Obama to become perturbed. Pissed. And I’m suspecting that I may have to wait forever. He’s too even keel. I’m beginning to wonder if he ever loses his temper. He allows his political foes to get away with proverbial murder. To call him names. To castigate him. With outright lies. And it’s almost as if Obama turns the other cheek. By golly, he must be a true Christian. And if he doesn’t fully love his enemies, he seems to tolerate ‘em. This is no way for a politician to act. Politicians are supposed to be spiteful people. Avengers. But Obama insists on being a nice guy. Polite. Courteous to everyone. Tolerant. Maybe that’s how he became president. Voters actually decided they wanted to elect a decent guy for a change. But I don’t know if a decent and honest Obama can survive Washington politics. After all, it’s a dirty, rotten game. Corrupt. How can one stay above the fray? Even gawd himself would be torn asunder in Washington. It’s hell. –Jim Broede
