Mr. Monkey President States the Obvious: He's not the sharpest tool in the shed

Every morning I scour the online newspapers of Binghamton (my old haunt) and Rochester (my current haunt) and just hours before the final presidential debate, W comes out with 'breaking news' that the economy will rebound from its current state. First of all, what the hell else is he gonna say? "The economy will continue to spiral downward at lightening speed, all residents will be destitute and I'll be playing golf and riding horses in Texas, y'all?"

I have never had high expectations for Mr. President. When he was first elected I was in college and was more interested in the news coverage of the entire game show rather than the outcome. I lived in Ithaca at the time which shoots any Republican upon entry to their city (not that I can blame them with people like Bush at the helm). After Bush won/lost/won/lost the election I guess my thinking was that we were stuck with him and hopefully he would surround himself with people who were smarter than he. As we have seen, eight years has not brightened the dullest bulb in the White House. I imagine the fat cats that good old Bush surrounds himself with are having a good laugh at what a dud he is and they are loving that they can manipulate him enough to actually say what he says and do what he does.

Most current case and point is his remark about that economy. I do not like my intelligence insulted (I imagine I'm not the only one) and when Bush comes out with rose garden press conferences about how today is Wednesday or how the sky is blue, its more than a dad bit insulting. I thought that after eight years (sick as it sounds) that he would at least improve on his pronunciation, enunciation, and public speaking. I wonder if he doesn't care that he is the largest political joke and train wreck in American history or he really doesn't get it. Ignorance and stupidity are not mutually exclusive. So, thank you Mr. President for pointing out the fact that your bulb has not brightened. It's a lame duck just barely flickering and I can't wait for it to finally go out.
