    Do these guys even read the newspapers?

    That headline says it all: they "bowed" to the President's "pressure".

    Have they no pride? Have they no spine? Have they no awareness of how they are collectively perceived?

    Or are they crazed enough to think they can play "Rope a Dope" with this President?

    I shudder to think what is to come next.
