Tip-Toeing Obama

got up this morning & put on the proper shoes to tip tippity tap tap tappy dance for Netanyahu--- walking the hardline with one foot, whilst he got the softline under the other, telling us all that though Israel has the right to “defend” itself from the firecrackers, “it would be preferable to avoid a ground offensive (aka INVASION) of Gaza”--- counting down the hours until the next maniacal move, he speaks the routine rhetoric of how Hamas started it, of how Israel’s soldiers “will be more at risk of being wounded,” if in fact they invade Gaza & of course, that the people of Gaza will be better off if Israel’s military escalation doesn’t come to fruition--- like a bad actor who can’t even find his mark on the stage, scampering through the ruffled pages of his script, our pandering presidential puppet, shows us all just what a good figurehead can do, when confronted with chaos, destruction & the death of innocent people, caused by the funding of his own administration, rumbling rumbling rumbling, in the belly of the empire.
