Talk about Peter Principle - President Obama has created a whole new
category of incompetence - a Super Peter Principle.


Now there's one he should take a bow for...

Speaking of gratuitous genuflection, I've heard through the grapevine
that the President is unofficially rehearsing for what he expects to
receive from the Queen of England in an invitation to be knighted,
with the understanding that he will invariably earn the honor in the
future (a kind of 'ROI'al investment).



I guess you guys never heard of Eisenhower or Nixon bowing.


I'm familiar with the Brezhnev-Connors hug.

It's one thing to comport oneself with appropriate diginity and with
respect for others, it's another to act obsequiously. It's not
befitting a president of the United States and leader of the free
world, even if the President deems it to be a necessary symbolic
gesture. It's a symbol rooted in a naive ideology.
