Ah, well, suspension of disbelief that a President can be so effing incompetent and self-serving. Sigh.

Jimmy Carter, proof positive.

Well, (blush), I wasn't going to mention Carter, Nixon, or Johnson...or FTM Kennedy (who only dared undertake the 'Cuban Missile Crisis' courtesy of intel from the Brits, btw). Oh, kwap, I forgot Ford, sheesh.

As noted, a suspension of disbelief.

That's ok for a telly programme, of course, probably required. However, when any reasonable person would prefer, repeatedly, to suspend disbelief regarding an actual President -- which event has occurred far too often for my tastes -- I'd say that the Republic is staring at a world of shjt.

FReegards to you!
