Exit Strategy Problem

(4)

The most amusing video image of the week was that of the prez who, having finished a speech in Outer Mongolia (?), headed for the exit only to discover that the doors were locked. Apparently, the prez was so pre-occupied that he failed to remember that he should to go out 'by the same door wherein he went.' Finding both massive doors locked he 'came to attention' in the military manner while he thought about the situation, including not only where the fucking exit door might be but what he ought say to the media assembled there who were photographing his embarrassment.

I laughed out loud of course. I am not a true believer in the myth of 'high presidential IQ.'

As he made his way to the unlocked exit the prez came up with the lame, 'I was trying to escape.' And it was true. True but lame. Had the prez really been on his toes, so to say, realitywise, his line would have gone something like, 'A little exit strategy problem there, folks.'
