I find the rampant obnoxiousness that some people think is appropriate in politics, this included, to be massively depressing.
Why do so many people in our country think it is appropriate to advocate assault on someone they disagree with? Even in jest?
Anyway, I'm going to cheer myself up by imagining Obama out surfing, on a totally different kind of "waterboard". It's a much more friendly (and attractive) image, though it has just as little to do with the politician's ability, skillsets, background, integrity, policy positions, or anything else that matters in a President as the original image.
