The Script Flipped

The burden of the world on his frail shoulders The man in the White House has never seemed older But he's the leader we've got and that counts for a lot When he's said to veer off-script perhaps the script has flipped

Very few Presidents, leaders Prime Ministers and more, are spoken of kindly, at least, not all the time, so I guess when they make a mistake it probably means global criticism. But from what we hear from CNN, he seems to be doing OK. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Really? CNN thinks that JB is doing alright? Over here his popularity has nosedived badly. Time will tell, I guess...

Time will tell if this script is good or not.

I think he says exactly what he thinks. Yes, he has a speech problem that he still struggles with, but as far as I can tell his mind is pretty sharp. As I recall, he has always gone "off script," and nearly always it has brought criticism. Now, I wonder, why is he so criticized when you never knew what innane comment was going to come out of his predecessor's mouth. Of course, he was criticized, too. Which says...it's hard for the leader to escape criticism no matter what!

You make an excellent point, gw, especially in the last two lines. I always wonder who is writing the script!

No leader can please everyone. That's for sure... I think that if you reread the last two lines of this poem, Milt, you'll find that I'm wondering about the script itself... Cheers, Gershon
