My advise to the President:
1. Stay off of TV as much as possible. Your speeches are only used as comic clips on late night TV, and why make it easy for the joke-writers. Let VP Cheyne do the talking.
2. Don't slouch into your coat so that you appear to actually be shrinking before our eyes.
3. Get out of the White House and listen to the people. You will have a Democrat congress next year if gas goes up to $2.85+. Voters don't give a hoot whether Shiites and Sunnis are happy in their hellhole if it's costing $75 to fill up the truck so they can get to work.
4. Fire everyone who has been giving you advice, including Karl Rove. Obviously, it's been bad advice from the beginning of this second term. I thought the challenge to the Dems about having all that "political capital" you were going to spend was a HUGE mistake when I saw you give your first post re-relection speech, and I was right. You didn't know that when you corner a junk yard dog, they may die, but they'll rip you to pieces before they do. And believe me, you've been ripped this year.
blah blah blah....
Don't quit your day job.
