My frustration for Obama grows on a daily basis.

Not only does he have to contend with a bunch of useless bureaucrats (read, lawyers) in DC but he also has to deal with an American public that wants it all now (jobs, growth, tax cuts) but doesn’t want to pay for it in any way shape or form. It’s catch 22 x 2.

In simple terms, it is as if the poor President is attempting to deal with, explain to and placate a four year old special child who wants more cheetos but doesn’t want to pay for them, in fact, he wants to be paid to get his fingers covered in cheesy dust.

And so we have the American public, fickle and insatiable like a toddler – and dangerously so. For even Jefferson championed and welcomed the French Revolution.

Yet the world would soon learn that the insatiable and desperate French public wold lead it to a reign of terror, of anarchy and sheer horror. The world, and the American public, must not forget this dark period where sheer impatience became the enemy of stability and security and progress.

History, as we know, give us guide to the future lest we suffer the indignity and stupidity of ignoring lessons learned – normally at the cost of thousands and millions of lives and their split blood.

For perhaps these periods, like that of the Revolution, are meant to provide counsel. Do we not study our prescient past with eyes aglow for the lessons they impart on the current situation? Did not the Great Depression provide us a guide map to the Great Recession and the lessons learned then placed in practice?

Still, we cannot ignore the petulant child. For he does not learn, or remember, an effect of the misfiring electrics of the brain. The kid cannot be reasoned with as reason is absent, it cannot be pulled into sacrifice as it would render their inner universe, their singular and personal solar system mute by default. It fears exposure, does not comprehend the vision forward.

Yet the impatience of the child frays nerves more than other attributes, good and bad. We have become overly impatient - to the point of revolutionary change, a promising yet destructive ideal.

For only a four year old, or the masses as a collective IQ, could conceive of a situation wherby we can demand to receive and receive, without even the instinct to give.

And so we sit, mired in a gridlock that could easily be reversed via public interest and debate and rationale – but that is too much to ask, yes, of a four year old consumed by his cheetos.

Napkin anyone?
