Back in high school and college, my peers and I would occasionally show extreme disrespect to each other by shoving our butt as far into a victim's face as possible while ripping a nice big fart.
Some people say Obama's got no guts, but that just isn't so. He's got plenty of guts, at least so far as his willingness to offend the liberals and progressives that helped elect him.
In 2009, he bravely threw us all under the bus by silently, behind closed doors, killing Single-Payer Health Insurance.
In 2010, he courageously flipped the bird at us with the Afghanistan Surge. To double-down on a losing bet takes cajones, thats' for sure.
And now, heedless of our wrath, without so much as propaganda campaign to soften us up, he's launched a war against the Libyan people. When you owe most of your electoral success to a public fed up with long, cruel, pointless, and obscenely expensive Imperial Wars, it takes real stones to go ahead and launch a new one half way through your first term.
Truly, this is, so far, the moment of supreme disrespect, a face-fart for progressives.
Only a man supremely confident in his assessment of the cognitive dissonance of Democrats as well as his estimation of war profiteers' power would be brave enough to try this.
The only thing I wonder about is this...the face-fart was bad, there were other acts even more disrespectful that might follow the face-fart. I wonder which one is coming next.
