Well, I don’t get it.  I just don’t understand.

Doesn’t Kim Jong Il know that Barack Obama is President?  I know news travels slow in these communist thugocracies, but shouldn’t the message of “hope and change” have reached them by now?

I thought the North Koreans, and other tyrannical toilet-states, only engaged in this kind of behavior because they were antagonized by the U.S.?

I thought that it was our arrogance and insufferable lecturing of the rest of the world that was pushing these goons to engage in provocative behavior?

But Obama is in charge now…they didn’t have to set off another nuke!

If they wanted to make a point, couldn’t they have just called Obama or Stephanopoulos or someone and just asked for a meeting?

I’m sure Obama would have met with Kim Jong Il…without pre-conditions.

I’m sure he would have bowed respectfully to the delusional little dwarf.  Maybe even kissed his communist ass.

Don’t they know that we’re done lecturing and pontificating to the rest of the world, now we’re ready to listen?

We’re ready to “re-boot” our relationship with the crazy commies of the world, and we have so much in common now that it’s hard to believe that Kim Jong Il hasn’t recognized a little bit of himself in Obama.

After all, they both hate the capitalism, energy, freedom of speech, the Special Olympics, and the United States.  They both share an affinity for lavish parties and designer dog-breeds.  And they’re both adored by Hollywood leftists and American academic elites. 

So why would Kim Jong Il insist on embarrassing Obama?  First the missile test, now this…why?

Could it be that he’s just lashing out after the past eight years of the Bush Administration having the audacity to treat this little coke bottle-wearing beanie baby like the isolated creep that he is?

Or maybe our new celebutard-in-chief just hasn’t delivered the inevitable ‘ingenious argument that will convince him that he has been wrong all along’, delivered from a podium flanked by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence…with that “echo effect” cranked way up on the microphone of course. 

We need a lot more Cheneys…and a lot fewer Powells.
