The Philosopher-King

On the occasion of Pres. Obama's first State of the Union address consider the following:

1. The loss of the MA senate seat that was Democratic for nearly 50 years.
2. That Guantanamo remains open after 1 year
3. That Obama admitted in an interview that he made mistakes in underestimating the difficulty in solving the Middle East conflict (anyone could have told him!).
4. That the much vaunted Health Care plan is still in limbo
5. That the jobless rate is still 10% nationwide (and all those people vote)
6 And, that the economy is still not out of the basement.
7. That he has not implemented any sanctions against Iran.
8. That US troops are still in Iraq and Afghanistan is a terrible mess.

I attach an appropriate analysis of Pres. Obama as 'The Philosopher King."
