You got that right. And it never ends either. Bowing to the Saudi king, giving a blind prime minister a collection of DVDs, giving the Queen of the UK an ipod containing your speeches, bowing to the Mayor of Tampa, sending the Dali Llama to exit the White House through the garbage pile, abandoning the prime minister of Israel to fend for himself in a room of the White House while you go have supper with your family, using note cards to read a simple toast, addressing personalized invitations to 9/11 family members as "Dear 9/11 family member", etc. etc. etc.
January 2013 cannot come soon enough.
Surely you jest?
