I am sitting in one of my “offices” – the little nook I have found at Melbourne airport that lets me work while waiting for planes – watching the video fo the US President’s recent Press Conference (June 29, 2011). I have “offices” like this at various airports. In the speech he berates the Republicans for refusing to show leadership in the current budget debate. My assessment is that after reading the full speech (the video goes for 67 minutes and 5 minutes is too long) – is that the US President outlined in the most categorical terms why he shouldn’t be in charge of the largest economy in the World. In the short time I have to write my blog today I will tell you why that is the case. But overall – as I noted the other day – it is looking more every day like a case of RIP USA.
