By now, President Obama must be longing for his good old days as a U.S. Senator, or even better, a Community Organize on the streets of Chicago.

Things were far less unsettling back then. No town hall meetings with irate citizens to contend with.

Back in Chicago, the citizens and illegal aliens would line up in an orderly fashion and you would dole out the booty. No mess, no fuss, and no FOX news!

No Cindy Sheehan parading outside your window as a part of her annual mental breakdown. Has she forgotten who started that damn war? Won’t someone please buy her a one-way ticket to Dallas or Crawford, or wherever it is that W. escaped to?

No screaming headlines about Afghanistan turning into the son of Viet Nam, on my watch. No Russ Feingold spewing hatred by calling for time lines for withdrawal of our troops, for God’s sake.

Hey, Russ, wake up buddy! It’s Barack, fellow Democrat. All that time line crap was supposed to be put away at 12:01 PM, on the afternoon of January 20. Remember?

Back in the good old days there were no pundits hounding your every financial move and blaming you for the “exploding deficit.â€
