American Idiot
Lots of people in this country see our President as, um, not too heavy in the brains department. I don't disagree with that assessment. But apparently he's smart enough to have learned the lesson known by fat people for years, which is that if you want to appear thinner, surround yourself by people fatter than you.
And if you want to appear smart...
Well, just be glad there wasn't anything nuculer involved.

By the way, I think you've…
By the way, I think you've misspelt it - it's "nukular", with just a hint of emphasis on that last syllable.
I saw on CNN that the kid got the White House private number and called that, not the public number.
I'm waiting for the announcement that we're going to invade Iceland. They've got oil, don't they?

This is no big deal. I used to call President Reagan every year on his birthday (I was in the Air Force at the time, stationed in Germany for part of it).
Never got all the way through, but once I was on the "not crazy, just misguided" list (took a few years), I'd get to speak to one of the mid-level flunkies, and I'd make them give assurances that they would pass along my birthday wishes.
The White House number is public. This kid never got close to speaking to anyone important because these kinds of calls are coordinated ahead of time by staffers.
And I've met enough White House professionals to know that not only are they not dumb, but their freaking receptionists are smarter than you and I. It's a prestige job, and they can pick from the cream of the crop.
