Save us Superman!

Because, well you know, that is what I'm hearing around. Booohoo, the economy is in shambles, boohoo occupy Wall street(instead of taking some hints from the greeks because nothing scares a government in the right direction like some old-fashioned civil disobedience)   , boohoo lets start a national riot in Greece(who should take some hits from Occupy wall street because they on other hand took it too far and are damaging their country too much now).  Meanwhile in other news? Oh I dunno, drone attack kills "N" number in AfPak, some of them may or may not have been harbouring dirty thoughts about joining the jihadis one day but we can't really be sure because there isn't much left of them as it is. Booho banks are bad. Boohoo banks don't have money and so they take away your mortgage with a wide grin. Boohoo Germany is bad for trying to keep the EU together at any cost. Save us Superman!

Because...well you know, no one else is doing something about it.

Political suicide

Well then, it seems the worst has passed without any further incident...or so we think. You know there are times when you can hand waive problems away and there are times when you should just try to be as silent as a mouse and the times before elections are certainly NOT when you should display arrogance and insult  the public, because THAT is what happened more or less. You are NOT supposed to ask "Why are they protesting? Are we not doing enough?" since if there are demonstrations, you clearly are not doing enough. You are NOT supposed to say"After the elections the tensions will drop." because they were NOT caused by this and trying to hide smoldering charcoal under the carpet is just a lovely idea isn't it? All parties try to benefit, none will. Nobody trusts them anymore.
