Just Two (+1) Simple Questions

This is going to be a very low-​​tech post. No links. No pic­tures. No graphs. Just a set up and two questions.

The Set-​​Up

The other evening on The Daily Show the guest was Obama’s main guru David Axel­rod. The host, Jon Stew­art, asked Axel­rod if it weren’t about time to stop blam­ing every­thing on George W. Bush. Axel­rod, act­ing like he had mis­un­der­stood the ques­tion, fired up the after-​​burner on the blame-​​o-​​tron and started spew­ing forth prob­lems the admin­is­tra­tion faced like .. like … like what­ever the name of that Ice­landic vol­cano is. Kvetch kvetch kvetch. So many prob­lems when we took office. The Afghanistan thing, the finan­cial thing.

The Ques­tions

1. Do you not real­ize that the rea­son you were elected was that peo­ple were not happy with the way things were going?
2. Hav­ing won using Change as a ral­ly­ing cry don’t you think it would have been a good idea to work on things peo­ple wanted Changed, like the finan­cial cri­sis, the ris­ing unem­ploy­ment, rather than focus­ing all your atten­tion on some­thing like Health Care?

Bonus Ques­tion

Which genius had the great idea to have Paul McCart­ney, after Obama spent some qual­ity time bop­ping, nod­ding his head, and clap­ping in time to some songs McCart­ney played, announce that it was an inef­fa­ble joy to play for a Pres­i­dent of the United States who actu­ally knew what a library was? *

*espe­cially a pres­i­dent who doesn’t know about Region Codes
