It seems the President has been completely shut out of the government he\u2019s supposed to be running. It\u2019s almost as if his own employees see him as nothing more than an Affirmative Action token hire. They apparently believe he really is just an articulate, clean, bright, nice-looking Black man, someone to be paraded for the cameras occasionally but kept away from all the real decision-making. \u201cHave another round of golf\u201d they tell him, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about us, we\u2019ll take care of everything.\u201d Except they don\u2019t; and he gets blamed for it.<\/p>\n
That must suck. I wonder if he\u2019s lonely.<\/p>\n
