5 Feet of Fury

Something America’s left and right can agree on

The still confused but catching on Mikey Kaus:

A friend of mine says he isn’t certain that if you woke Obama up in the middle of the night and told him foreign troops had landed on the beach in Florida, Obama’s first reaction would be “Sh–, we’re under attack.”

He might jump right to worrying about the root causes.

ExACTly.

Conservatives are certain he wouldn’t care much if America was being attacked, and liberals don’t want him to care too much, cuz that reaction would be… gauche.

Seriously: can you imagine Obama saying, “Shit, we’re under attack! Scramble the jet fighters, etc”?

Which would be the reaction of the fake President in a Hollywood movie, never mind in real life.

No, you can’t. Just be honest for once in your life.
