A day when nothing anyone says to you makes sense, nothing you say makes sense to anyone else (including yourself), following directions proves problematic and items which should be readily locatable cannot be found (or are found only after much searching on top of one's head).

Presidente Por Supuesto

Barak Obama. Literally, President Of Course. A very loose Spanish translation of President Yes We Can. While nowhere close to being an accurate translation, it does convey a sense of that positive can-do attitude of the 44th president of the United States of America and it's fun to say.

If anyone can get single-payer passed it's Presidente Por Supuesto, the 44th president of the United States.
