It is always amazing and a bit disturbing to see how much the president is the target of attacks from within.
Whatever he does, the president seems to attract jealousy.
Why is that?
That's because there is something called 'equality of opportunity' in the democratic us and this causes there are a lot of cassius around.

When someone wants to access the highest fonction like the presidence to serve his country, equality of opportunity means that he has to outcompete every other person within a range of +/- 15 years.
In the case of the democratic us, this means that to reign supreme, the president had to prevail over dozens of millions of people. A near infinite stock of envious people ready to show their cassius' deep nature:"why him and not me?"
The president has against him he is superior in many fields and can teach a lesson to many fields. Yet he wasnt the best in everything.

When he was young, it is well known that the president's parents had to surrender to one of their son's weird demands. The president wanted to work as a fruits picker to learn the harsh requirements of the manual labor.
It is nearly sure the president wasnt the best at it but this contributed to build this brawny body of his and left him completely fluent in spanish and surburban slang because the president, in his humility, didnt resent mixing with the lowest class of the population.
Yet this is one of the source of the cassius behaviour: as the president didnt prevail in fruits collecting, those who were better think they deserve better to become the president. They might remember how the president wailed under a heavy load, how he begged them for help, leading them to think he is a weaker man than they are. One fact is they never found the energy to get out of that no future activity.

Once it fell obvious for the president he had acquired what he was looking for, that is knowing the reality of manual labour, knowing the low people, becoming bilingual, the president moved on excelling in the intellectual field.
It is well known the president is a splendid intellectual, with grades from both yale and harvard. Yet it must be admitted that the president is just a decent genius. Nothing more.
Here is another source for the cassius: all the bright kids who got better marks than the president feel like they are cheated. Who are they now? All the journalists, senators, managers, corporations chiefs, daddy sons and all the eliste who cant spend a day without spitting on the president. They say they are brigther men than the president and then should be given his position.They are amazed a man of such a feeble mind should so get the start of the majestic world and bear the crown alone.
Yet they failed to see that the president considered school for what it is: a means and not an end. There is nothing to be gained by being good at school if one has not the ambition going with it.

The president had it and once he mastered school, he looked up for another challenge to take on. He started his own business and became the self made succesful business man he is now.
That's was also the dire times of vietnam. The nam, an ugly unwished conflict where the peaceful democratic country was dragged in by communist big pig snouts.
So the president joined the army.
He did his assault courses.
Again here is another source of cassius.
Oh the president wasnt the best neck cracker, the best pilot, the best cold blooded murderers.
But he had again something all those shoes lickers lack: initiative.
The president was of a different wood of all those valliant and honourable men, like that john 'I have a red indian face' kerry whose efforts only led to one achievement: giving the upper hand to the loathsome vietcongs. No the president understood the nature of those devils and wanted to beat them their own game. He joined a secret unit and began to fight them the nazi way, the only way to crush those communist bugs.
But the president didnt feel the needs of boasting about that. He simply served and managed to keep humble.This is why he prefers to remain silent when somebody evoked vietnam both because he has respect for the veterans and because he doesnt see why one should boast for something casual as serving his country.

There is also another reason that feeds envy. Women.
Yes, women. It is well known that in democracies, women vote with the wetness of their treasure. His scuptural body, the glee in his eyes, the way he points his tongue out of his mouth a la britney spear, his refined cloth tastes, all this appeals a lot to women. That brings them to higher skies.
William 'bubba' clinton was said to have his share of attractive power on women who voted him in. His handsome face, his hand with a longer ring finger attracts women too.
But he was a fake. Looking at both spouses' faces, it is easy to see the problem. Satisfaction.
William clinton had a lot of problems with his customer services, he left a lot of bitter unsatified women and a lot of phone calls telling that they felt cheated on the product. Because the truth is: he never managed.
The president is a true great lover. He gives a lot. He leaves his women satiated. They dont rush to the fridge just after. They dont run to call their lawyer. Never in the long list of his past conquests can one find a woman badmouthing.

So when someone begins his speech ' the president is...' the right question is does that someone bear to be outcompete in the society of the equal opportunity?

What president are you referring to?

As far as I know, there is only one president.

:stupid:
Outrageous.....do you really think that womwn would vote for a man to rule thier country because they find him "attractive"!!!
This may come as a surprise, but women actually do have a brain, as well as common sense!
It has long been told that a man thinks with his small head first...and in many cases I do mean SMALL...... and his brain second! It would be hard to find such quotes about women....as we only think with the brain in our head....which in many cases is wonderfully intelligent!!! Who ever wrote this editorial...obviously a man....may have a big dick...but definitely a small brain!!!:bird:

I never meant to be offensive, sorry if that was the way you felt it.
But as anything touching democracy, that was reasonable writing. And the main problem I think is you distorted a lot my speech.

First of all, I have never written that women have no brain. On the contrary, it is well known that a woman's feeling of attraction is largely a matter of a brain conception. All the information collected by the senses are processed and culturally atoned to trigger the attractiveness.
So definitively, if a woman finds a man attractive, that's because she has a well working brain. I even think that the eldest of the democratic us journalists,a living legend and a very intelligent woman (I cant catch her name right now) also finds georges walker bush attractive.
The second point is that I have a big, big support in my statements. Nearly as good as the bible to tell everything. The founding fathers. The conception of those nearly supra human beings about the part of women in politics is somehow very close to mine so I feel really authorised to make it myself.

To finish with, I doubt you can say that democratic men think with their small head. For example, out of 44 democratic us presidents, it is very likely that there was no woman. If democratic men thought with their small head, there would have been much more.
In societies where women are given a broader access to power, maybe men think with their small head, in democratic countries, that's dubious.

Too bad georges walker bush isnt available, it could do you a lot of good...

I do not feel that I distorted your words in any way or matter!! They are quite plain and to the point. Yes I did take offense, but I do accept that you did not mean to offend "me".

I was under the impression from the first part of you editorial that you were discussing Democracy...but near the end you ARE disscusing Male Chauvanism! I do not need any assistance I have a husband that fullfills me quite fine thank you!

You were trying to describe Bush? Really? I doubt Bush would have been able to figure out that you were describing Bush in that peice of fiction.

The president is just too humble to admit his personal high virtues.
