It doesn't take an Ivy League edumacation to figure out that you don't throw a big gala birthday bash as president when the economic news has been going from bad to worse for weeks. Or when even the one small badge of your presidency starts to rust, as stocks continue to tumble on Wall Street. Or when the pathetic debt ceiling bill that you just signed off on has now caused China to downgrade the U.S. credit rating, with credit rating agencies like S&P possibly not far behind in the weeks and months to come.I'm not even going to complain or shout. We've seen the out-of-touch, condescending and aloof nature of this individual many times before. Instead, my observation here is a different one: What an incredibly stupid political move! Who's advising this individual, anyway? H.R. Haldeman and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown?
As I read the accounts of this Royal Affair -- with the various millionaires, billionaires, celebrities and corporate jet owners in attendance Wednesday night at Chicago's swanky Aragon Ballroom (pictured above) -- I'm left with one thought:
I may now just have to rethink my long-held political opinion that this individual (regardless what you think of him) probably wins re-election in 2012. The way he's going, he may not be electable as the Deputy Head Cleaner at a South Side shithouse down on Halstead Street.
