11. Our last two "act on your gut" Presidents have been among the worst in the nation's history!

Shrub and tRump.
The Laurel and Hardy of US Presidents - which is unfair because Stan and Ollie were at least entertainers!

In all seriousness, the job of president is not one that should EVER be done in the manner that Bush (total abdication of responsibility - at least through Katrina) or Trump (complete buffoonery throughout) attempted while calling it "a gut feeling" or "I shoot from the hip" or any other bullshit those two spewed out of their sewers.

I miss serious people - like Presidents Obama and Biden - who regardless of their foibles or misses, could NEVER be described as unserious leaders. What we have now is chaos on purpose to distract from the looting going on everywhere in broad daylight. It really is as if Heath Ledger's portrayal of "The Joker" is in charge.
