“Nobody at home in Washington”, ran one US headline on the turmoil.

Wouldn't bother me a bit if we tapped the brakes on our foreign policy. After eight years of fighting al-Qaeda, it's time to let the UN or the EU get more involved.

I'm not saying we become isolationist, but we aren't the security force for the entire world.

Give him some time. They’re still getting the teleprompter programmed, so he’ll know what’s on his mind.

YOU’RE RIGHT! He’s holding the wrong end of the phone to his ear....is this a photoshop???

My goodness, look how messy he is in this picture.

You bet he’s answering the phone upside down. He’s talking into the end that’s supposed to be against your ear. I have a phone exactly like this, and you ain’t supposed to hold it that way. What is going on here?
