Obamateur

I think that Obama could have benefited from a few more years of national political experience before moving in to 1600 Pennsylvania (all of his 140-odd days in the US Senate before announcing his candidacy don't seem to have taught him enough). His errors, though relatively minor as of yet, could have serious implications for American morale. Bowing to the Saudi King? Shaking hands and giggling with one of the most outspoken anti-American leaders in the world? Making a wise-crack about those with disabilities on late-night television?

Hey, Obama: American Presidents don't bow to kings. American Presidents don't fraternize with autocrats who seek to spew their vitriol in our direction. And American Presidents don't, in the public domain at least, joke and laugh on late-night television about those with disabilities.

I hope you like my portmanteau.
