Now That's Just Tacky
Sometimes they're just no improving the original: They told me if I voted for Hillary, that Bill Clinton would basically be a co-president AND THEY WERE RIGHT! The presidency has always struck me as the worst job everyone wants. Nowadays, though, I'm thinking ex president is a pretty sweet gig. It's like being the ultimate granddad. Everyone's happy when you show up, and you get to give the country back when you get tired of it.

Countries shouldn't be run like families. The "kin and clan" tribal model just doesn't scale up to where it can be used to govern an entire nation, similar to the way the body structure of an ant doesn't scale up to reach the size of a house. Unfortunately, the primary conceit of socialism is the unwavering belief that the social structure that works in families is the only morally tolerable one for any organization, no matter how large or small.

And by right, I mean those on the left.
In the big picture, this is a pretty funny thing. Obama again shows his inexperience by negotiating a compromise that doesn't include his own party. He might be able to get to a second term, but if he keeps up things like this is going to be very difficult to win the nomination from the Dems, much less the country.
