More Buyer's Remorse

Christopher Buckley, once upon an election, praised candiate Obama's temperament and voted for The One proudly. Now, Christopher Buckley is praising President Obama's ineptitude and voting with his pen.

Daily Beast columnist Christopher Buckley procured an early draft of President Obama's upcoming State of the Union speech.

My fellow Americans,

Tonight I can report to you that the state of the union, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being excellent, is a 9.8.

[...]

Frankly, the economy is not what it should be, which is why the state of the union is a 9.8 instead of a perfect 10.

I called in the smart folks in my administration, many of them educated at Harvard, and I put it to them directly. I said, "Is this my fault?" And to a person they said, "No, sir! No way!"

I said to them, "Well then, whose fault is it?" And they said, "It's the bankers, Mr. President. The scum-sucking, stimulus money-accepting, bonus-awarding, self-regarding swine who inhabit the street of shame and infamy, the harlot's den known as Wall Street."

I said to them, "And what are we going to do about them? We can't hang them all. We don't have enough rope. And anyway, rope is expensive and I'm trying to cut the deficit. Ideas, people. I want ideas."

So tonight I can announce to you, my fellow Americans, the creation of a bipartisan commission to study how to kill the bankers in an efficient and hemp-sensitive manner.

Good to have you back, Chris, at least at this level. You're welcome as well, David and Peggy, there's a warm seat or two.
