“Purpose is but the slave to memory,
of violent birth, but poor validity.
Which now, like fruit unripe, sticks on the tree,
But fall, unshaken, when they mellow be.”  – Hamlet

Barack Obama seems to be losing his way, with what seemed like driven purposes falling to the ground like rotten apples.  Closing Guantanamo Bay?  Too hard.  Press freedom?  Not if it hurts my administration.  Military red lines?  Syria’s only orange.  To be honest, I’m not that upset with President Obama; it’s got to be a tough job and overall he’s doing alright.  But sometimes, he can really step in it.
