I believe there is at least a kernel of truth to this story, if not the whole ear of corn. It worries me a great deal, for the potential consequences of a desultory and anxiety-ridden Obama in extremis might be devastating for the nation.

The man was wholly unprepared for high office and has discovered that an out-sized ego is no substitute for knowledge or experience, both of which he lacks in any significant quantity.

In spite of a glossy educational resume, I think we all know that the depth of his achievement was in reality as thin as onion-skin. And I think we all know why. And, regardless of Obama's admitted lack of executive experience, a history of successful legislative effort might at least have steeled his nerves and stiffened his spine. Instead, he served partial terms and often voted "present".

Tell me: have you ever heard of a person serving as President of a Law Review (and at Harvard, no less!) who never submitted a single article to it for publication and peer review? The words "empty suit" come to mind as much now as they ever have in consideration of our 44th President... but now it's serious. There is too much at stake domestically and abroad for an emotionally fragile poseur to be leading a nuclear-armed superpower in the throes of a Great Recession and increasingly provocative challenges from international adversaries.

Laugh if you must at this incompetent, blustering boob named "Barry", but also consider the danger he represents, on so many levels.
