It is shameful and terribly mortifying that we elected this slow-witted, small-minded, cruel man to be President.
Our own Taoiseach (President-equivilent) Bertie Ahearn comes across as a bit of a fool. His command of the English language is poor, until the imagemakers got a hold of him he used to look like something the cat dragged in. He fumbles and bumbles his way through the order of the day in the Dail (Parliment). He is no real match when it comes to dealing with the witticisms and barbs of the more orator-minded opposition, we cringe when he stands to make a speech for the numbskullery it might contain.
He is known as the Telfon Taoiseach - for no matter what hooky stuff his appointees get involved in, he ever manages to distance himself and emerges a few months later with top ratings in the polls
A recently deceased former Taoiseach, Charles Haughey, an objectively able politician, who struck fear into the heart of the opposition for many years and acted as mentor to bumbling Bertie described him as:
"the best, the most skillful, the most devious and the most cunning of them all."
Appearances can be deceptive. Very often they are designed to be.
