Obviously? No I’ve got quitter issues. US Presidents don’t have a legacy of quitting. Why do you and your ilk think it’s noble to elect a Commander in Chief with a recent history of quitting on the citizens they swore an oath to represent. Surely, you must see the absurdity of your position

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Alaska, and that I will faithfully discharge my duties as Governor to the best of my ability.”

Sir, I do not see anything in this oath implying that it cannot be terminated, with or without cause. One might easily imagine situations in the normal course of events when leaving the post in an orderly transfer of power can be considered a faithful discharge of duties, especially when events have compromised “the best of [one’s] abilities”.

The strident tenor of your argument betrays a certain lack of confidence in its conclusions. I believe you are right: you’ve got “quitter issues”. You don’t know when to quit. The best time to quit is long before people get bored and walk away, leaving you ranting all alone.

Yawn.
