(43,890 posts)It reminded me of the joke:
Romney in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. He shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised Paul Ryan I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude, and you're about to crash.
"He rolled his eyes and said, "You must be Obama."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered Romney, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
Obama smiled and responded, "You must be Mitt Romney."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said Obama, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You're heading for a crash. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."
