Run into this piece in comments after this idiotic article.

"... he won't have to explain delaying reinforcements to Afghanistan for political reasons, getting the main supply line to Afghanistan cut off through poor diplomacy, getting involved in pointless fighting in Libya, Syria, Yemen and Uganda, outraging Muslim world by conducting an extrajudicial assassination campaign using aerial bombardment, failing to adequately protect diplomatic staff in Libya and then lying to the public in an attempt to control your image, helping to overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine and bringing in a civil war-starting president who will be more open to Western business interests, starting a new cold war with Russia, starting sanctions against Russia that cause catastrophic harm to the poor and threaten the world economy, downsize the soldiers you sent to fight in Afghanistan and elsewhere, allow the stability those soldiers fought for in Iraq to implode because of your bad handling of diplomacy with the Iraqi government, promise transparency then spy on the Associated Press, pass a nearly trillion dollar "stimulus" bill consisting almost entirely of pork, oversea a corrupt IRS that attempts to suppress political opponents, try to hamstring the domestic oil industry then take credit for its growth ... I could go on but my fingers are starting to get tired: all that does look pretty nifty on a resume doesn't it?"

There was another wonderful phrase there (as a response to the first one):

"When you insult the President, you insult the country. Why don't you go one further and piss on the flag?!"

Lovely!
