A sad old man

While I applaud B16 for making his positions crystal clear, one has to wonder just how a man could become so out of touch with the people he supposedly serves. With each new proclamation, he becomes less a leader and more a Punch-and-Judy puppet in a two dimensional theater in a public park, ignored even by children who are used to more sophisticated entertainment. If only he were benevolent, he'd be revered as a quaint old man full of love, and he would be allowed his failing vision, but he is not that. He seems bitter and bent on vengeance and retaliation personally engineered from a very comfortable sedia. Naturally, surrounded by yes-men, he is convinced of the merits of his actions. Millions turn away. His voice is barely audible. How many years of this will we have?
