Barack the fake

Speaking tomorrow night in front of fake columns reminiscent of Athens,
the "Birthplace of Democracy":

Arugula, my friends.

"Because America just sucks" actually resonates as a jibe. Amazing. You could not have teased that FDR or Truman believed America sucked. The jibe would have fallen to Earth with a flat clunk. Nor Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon. Maybe Carter - but not during his 1976 candidacy. Not Reagan, not Bush 41, not Clinton, not GWB. Bill Clinton:

"There's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what's right with America."

I read that quote at the Clinton Presidential Library. Barack will never have such a structure - mainly b/c the jibe resonates.
