A beautiful fruitless tree - and a midsummer night's dream - and a hunter from Wisconsin. Thanks to you three gentlemen for your colorful writing, a kind word goes a long way. I note the arrows, too. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

that doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground and instead of doing something for us pilgrims plowing the ground and stocking up for winter , he should keep campaigning , sounds like a plan to me .
If only Fox News , republicans , Tea Party people and others that didn't agree with him were from a muslim country , he would have no enemies . He seems to find no enemies outside the United States .

There was little pride in passage of health care. Votes had to be bought. Breaking promises to make process transparent. No CPAN coverage. No days on net before signing. President says wrong information being distributed and he will clear the air. Over and over he repeats. Over and over he doesn’t. Nancy Pelosi promises to show and tell once passed. Seems she does not recall that. She doesn’t explain. Maybe she forgot like she forgot about being informed on water boarding.
Did the president tell us we must wait 4 years for full health coverage in campaign ? Not cheaper actual raises cost now. Many companies must be given waver, like ones given to BP that caused Gulf pain.
Why did few Democrats NOT RUN bragging of helping pass obamacare ? The polls were bad. The Nov 2 vote disaster. “a slender young pilgrim president ponders” his political fate cursing the world.
“seaworthy” ? By standards of the TITANIC !!! Democrats voted out with few lifejackets on across this unhappy Country. President admits his stupidity concerning SHOVEL READY. Promises VETO if defense budget has PORK. It does and he doesn’t.
Was not the president and his clan that was “landworthy”. His “dreams and promises ” failed the poll test. Nov. 2 showdown. New Year Congress will be new deal. Some Democrats are not so aligned now. Never mind NO MORE SUPERMAJORITY. president to sing TEA for two.
President painted a different picture than reality. VOTE scared his progressive attitude. President certainly did “not to treat his enemies like future friends.”. Now he shall pay for his DO WHAT HE WANTS, ignoring the publics outcries against his agenda. Yes the opposition is dedicated to following the wishes of the people.
The people showed how “warmly” they feel.
Obama continued Bush’s non-court wire tapes. Expanded war in Afghanistan, not closed Gitmo, lost all but 1 charge out of hundreds against a terrorist. Has loss his shine among foreign leaders.
Give back your Peace Prize.
President eat cake while the masses are at your door this Thanksgiving...

Well, you got the "elder" part right.
Though, I must admit, nicely written - as is most of your work. But you know what they say, "Talent without common sense is like a barren tree - beautiful, but fruitless."
