np-does this worry anyone else?

  and the president from the country. first he gets rid of weekly public press confrences, settling instead for a weekly radio address, making him culpable for jack squat. then, on the 4th of july, instead of throwing the customary large whoopty do on the south white house lawn, he goes for the small get together with a few of his fellow power whores.
  these are not the actions of a man who gives a fuck about the people he is supposedly representing.
  reclusives make fine literary figures, but piss poor leaders.


  Hell yes, it bothers me.  Sure the thing is flawed, but the rejection of a 
  protocol accepted by all the world except a few "authoritarian" regimes by 
  this arrogant bunch of reactionary folls is sickening.  My country seems to 
  be drifting into a kind of neo-isolationism.  Festung Amerika anyone?
