Yes, this level of ignorance is not reassuring.

While I am all for learning on the job, this is one very obvious
exception: the president shouldn't be learning about foreign policy
while *being* president; and, if he is, he should be a better, quicker
study; and when he makes mistakes, like slurring one side of a very
dangerous situation with a well known racial slur, he should quickly
apologize.

Which is just to reiterate what we say in the piece.

        Maybe we should all just go easy on

Uh... No, it's not *like* he is, it's precisely *that* he is. Sheesh.
