    Starting with Himself?

    So, our President thinks U.S. citizens should have learn to speak English. The Decider-in-Chief does realize, doesn't he, that this means he'll have to take lessons?

    And how many of U.S. citizens he likes to idealize -- the ones "born here," the ones growing up speaking English -- know the words to the national anthem in English? How many can name the first five U.S. presidents? How many can find Washington, DC -- let alone other countries in the world, in some of which U.S. citizens are dying every day -- on a map?

    It's frightening that the President's misdirection is working: "Don't look at these problems, including my potentially impeachable offenses. Look at this thing over here, instead!"
