I have seen Rodgers perform, and Mr. President, you are no Aaron Rodgers. To compare yourself to any sport figure seems a little silly. From all accounts you even had trouble making it onto your Hawaiian high school basketball team. Your game may have improved since we paid for a staff member whose main task is to play basketball with you at the White House.

I would think a more apropos comparison would be with David Copperfield because you have been a pretty good magician. You confessed that you weren’t a good student at Occidental, but you made it to Columbia, where you did not perform well but made it to Harvard. Those were pretty good tricks!

A community rebel rouser is not necessarily a plum job nor is being a part-time lecturer at an Illinois university, however, buying that piece of property at such a low cost from a future felon was a masterful trick. You certainly had little impact in the Illinois Senate, but you made it to the U.S. Senate achieving nothing of substance. You then discovered that you could master the trick of reading someone else’s words on a teleprompter most of the time (corpsman being one of your blatant misreads).

Finally, you tricked many voters not once but twice in becoming President of the United States. The second time is baffling! I don’t know how the press let you get away with scoffing at Mitt Romney when he declared that Russia was our enemy; that, after you were recorded smugly informing Putin that you could be more flexible. Then you go along with the lie about Benghazi and a video!

Yes, Mr. President, you could teach Mr. Copperfield a trick or two!
