At the Risk of Condescension

Don’t hate the buffoon for his ignorant views;
You’d pity instead if you walked in his shoes,
   For what you would find is
   The truth that a mind is
A terrible thing to not know how to use.

Yup. I just try to remember that the POTUS was once, long ago, a mother's precious baby, with boundless potential...And see how he's wasted it: He only grew up to be President of the United States of America. That's all...Honestly, looking straight in the mirror, I should have done 1/10,000th as well with what I was given. (The truth hurts). ~ gw
