President Barack Obama has a lot on his plate. The launch of the Affordable Care Act, a stubborn Congress, immigration reform pushing through the House—nothing else could go wrong, right? Oh, but the Affordable Care Act website crashed. There's thatt. And the NSA might have done a tiny bit (read: a lot) of snooping on Germany, and probably on its chancellor Angela Merkel. I'd be pretty afraid of both. Time to stay inside and eat all of yesterday's candy by oneself and wait for this to blow over.
