Your Monday howler. PJMedia's Jim Treacher sends us this, and I especially like his idea that "Everybody thinks Barack Obama is a single human being, but that's not precisely correct. There are actually two Barack Obamas. There's the Obama who is saying whatever he's saying right at this moment, and there's the Obama who, at some point in the past, said the exact opposite. I call them Past Obama and Present Obama. And Present Obama's super-power is that he always sounds like he means what he says, even when it directly contradicts whatever Past Obama said."

Such as his latest pronouncement about the state of the world. While speaking at a private event in Singapore, he said the following, according to Saira Asher at BBC News:

If women ran every country in the world there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes, former US President Barack Obama has said...

"Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us [men].

"I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything... living standards and outcomes... If you look at the world and look at the problems it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way."

Oh.

Well, if this is true, I have just one question for Present Obama: Why did Past Obama prevent a woman from becoming president of the United States in 2008? If a woman had been running things between 2009-2016, according to you, the world would be much better off. So why did you screw everything up? It was her turn, and you ruined it. Now she'll never be president, and it's all your fault. You refused to get out of the way.

If things were so great when women ran them, why wasn't India a world-class nation under Indira Ghandi? I'll grant you that Israel did well under Golda Meir, but Israel can always be counted on to be an exception. And Margaret Thatcher was a star in Great Britain, but Theresa May certainly was not.
