Sorkin Obama Needs You, We Need You

There is nothing worse than to watch bad actors performing a bad script. There is something grating, not unlike finger nails on a black board, to watch two-actors mouthing lines that have no meaning, and worse, delivered without pathos. The president and the speaker are in a grammar (no pre school) production of "These Calamatious Times." A three act play about the foibles of letting idiots run the government.
First, we have the president, Mr. Cool who doesn't seem to want to act until the drama has reached a crescendo. He must have some hubris to sit on the sidelines like some high poetentate waiting for that moment when he can swoop in and with his rhetoric give a rendition of a siren's song and lead the befuddled minor players to a happy ending. His cool, detached, "let's get along" demeanor is nothing short of foolishness. He is not a Shakesperian thespian but a Moliere foil.
Second, there is the speaker, a Sarah Bernhardt drama queen, who thinks that if he repeats the same lie over and over it will be taken as fact. Of course, let's not forget his second in command the ever smiling camera and publicity hound from Virginia. To hear these two talk you would think that their Thorazine only kicked in when Obama was elected. Prior that they sat in their chamber listening to W run this country into a major hole while drooling in a cationic stupor.
Let's forget the senate, they seem to be at least trying.
There is something amiss in this supposedly real world. There are these would be actors prancing about shouting slogans and homilies appropo to nothing. You would think that when they started talking about the super rich – millionaires and billionaires – as job creators they would have at least broke out the seltzer water and whoopee cushions. When they talked about the problem being entitlements (read social security and medicare), you would think they couldn't keep a straight face or at least their noses would have grown, seriously grown.
So, here we are, a stalemate of epic proportions with the only ones who will suffer are the those who have the least say. Something needs to be done.
That is why Aaron Sorkin has got to come to the rescue. We need a more intelligent script. We need someone who understand pathos and human nature. We need someone who can craft for us a chief executive with some hutzpah, someone with the guts to fight the banal cabal. The drama now playing in Washington needs to be canceled. It is not interesting. It is too pathetic. It is quite frankly boring.
Sorkin can spice it up; hell he crafted the West Wing. The last time the government held any interest for the public. Sure Obama can be cast as the president. Boener is a a bad choice but heck looks who is waiting in the wings, a Charlie Sheen like character who chose foolishness and tea party trite positions as his crack. But the drama has to be set. Now, I know those representatives won't play along. They maybe dumb and close minded but they aren't stupid. As soon as they see the ratings, once this president gets a serious script, they will fall in line. Cause there is nothing any of these clowns in Washington won't do to get a good review!
