Although I think I'd enjoy playing 'pot limit' poker with Obamanation and winning a pile of his 'stash', I'm not too sure that having him play America's hand is good thing.
Let's see now.... he's betting on an 'Arab Spring?' - I'm not sure- but I think that's his euphemism for the democratization of the the Middle East.... he looked at his hand, and threw his Israel card away (or under the bus - some would say) and opted to keep his Egypt and Iraq cards to draw to.
He drew a Yemen card - to build his hand with - but I see in this morning's headlines that the good folks of al-Qaida are taking over it's capital ... the Muslim Brotherhood is looking like a high card in Egypt, Libya (you remember Libya, "We will be finished in a matter of days, not weeks", yeah - that place is turning into the Mother of all Messes....
His Pakistan card is growing weaker, and Afghanistan is turning into a one eyed jack. Hmm. Meanwhile, he is reaching back over his shoulder to borrow more chips from China to put in the pot... dunno how he pays them back - even if he wins....
Hoping to improve his hand, he goes to Ireland, England and the Euro G-8 meeting to build his hand --- and even Lec Walensa, his fellow Nobel Prize winner won't take a meeting with him!!
I sure hope American voters remember that old Kenny Rogers song next year, and knows when to fold 'em!!
Notice: I have used up my daily allotment of metaphors..... !!!
