Pogo

Every politician’s salvation, rest in the hands of peoples short retention span. A recent example is all the protest marchers who were determined to make the actions of certain police departments come under scrutiny and have now been replaced by a terrorist shooting in Paris. The message is that if you mess up just wait patiently until the next big news item comes along and then go quietly into the background. This has been the case for a number of years but was perfected by the Obama administration along with the aid of an adoring press. Like I have often said we got the government we deserve or to say it more succinctly, I quote that famous philosopher Pogo who said, “we have met the enemy and they is us”. For you younger people Pogo was a comic strip.
