Where are you politically?

On the other hand, if it turns out to be a sensation, everybody tries to take credit for the policy even though they opposed it initially!

In this game, you think of something, now... watch the other players, then, you say something else, watch some more for public reaction, do something different from what you said.

Ah, before entering the clubhouse, leave your ideology at the doorstep, along with your umbrella . And murmur Shakespeare before standing up to speak:

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair,
Hover through fog and filthy air."

And after some of these days in parliament one might also say
"So foul and fair a day I have not seen."
(with apologies to Shakespeare)

Dont call 'Bama a bad actor, even before he steps on the stage.
Give the kid a fair chance.

He has set forth on the world stage where he is more than “merely a player� and “in his lifetime he will play many parts�

Which part is he playing now:

"An infant - mewling and puking in the nurse's arms

Whining school-boy â€" with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail

The lover â€" sighing like furnace

A soldier â€" full of strange oaths

The justice â€" in fair round belly with good capon lined. With eyes severe and beard of formal cut full of wise saws and modern instances

Sixth age â€" shifts into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon with spectacles on nose and pouch on side his youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide for his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound

Last scene of all â€" that ends this strange eventful history is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything"
