The time had come, the whole world was watching and the leader of NATO and the free world wanted to deliver a speech for the ages

He wanted the people to know he was a decisive leader and not the gaffe ridden spectacle delivering telescripted monologues from Washington stages

He’d come of age hearing JFK’s oratory stating “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” He wanted that kind of moment

He wanted to deliver the speech that future history books will show how he stood up to his ruthless opponent

Here he was, standing before the world much as President Reagan when he demanded, “Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall”

His handlers had already had to backtrack an earlier gaffe about American soldiers being included in the Russian political brawl

He’d also been filmed in awkward banter and choking down pizza like he was one of the guys

Again, damage control by his overseers, it was not a good look as the public had grown weary of bumbling photo ops and how little their dollar buys

So he grabs the podium and in his bellowing oratory, calls on the Supreme Deity and exclaims “This man cannot remain in power”

The horrified handlers immediatly started reeling in this blunder as Putin wasn’t one to cower

So the President had his moment to shine in the sun but he swung mightily and missed

The world went back about their business while the Russian tanks continued their quest to help the Ukrainians cease to exist

But the besieged should have felt blessed in his show of solidarity, first he sends his ditzy Vice President and then to show his true qualities, he made an appearance

Harry S. Truman once stated, “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference”
