He’s Doing the Best He Can


How many of you can remember back when you would watch your children or your grandchildren playing youth sports, and there would always be a few unfortunate kids who appeared to have little, if any, athletic ability. For instance, when up at bat, Joey would swing and miss over and over until some coach or parent figured out some way for the child to try to save face. Typically, someone would then say. “He’s doing the best he can.” 

Now no one doubted that he was doing the best he could, but I would often ask myself, “Why is little Joey out there in the first place? Why did Joey’s parents put him in a position where it was inevitable that he would fail and embarrass himself?” Sure, Joey was probably a nice kid, but no way should he be the center of attention with a bat in his hand. No way should he continue to be placed in a situation where his chance for success is slim, and always random. Remember, as a blind squirrel can randomly find a nut, odds are that Joey will sooner or later accidentally hit the ball. However that doesn’t mean that Joey is any better at hitting.

I would surmise that each of us have known our share of Joeys, and I would also guess that at some point each of us have felt sorry for those unfortunates. However, those heightened and surreal expectations for Joey to succeed should have ended long before he became President. The incessant refrain, “He’s doing the best he can,” is no longer apropos. At some point Joey’s inability to hit the baseball is not acceptable. At some point results should dictate whether or not he should continue to stand in the batter’s box masquerading as a competent hitter. Thus far Joey has swung and missed on just about every pitch (inflation, Afghanistan withdrawal, the Keystone pipeline and the resultant explosion in gas prices, the border, etc.). Many observers worry that the next time he has a bat in his hand, a wild uncoordinated swing could result in catastrophe when the inept hitter lets the bat fly into the crowd. 

Joey may well be doing the best he can, but at some point, hopefully those who care for Joey will come to the realization that it would probably be best for Joey to put down the bat and hang up his cleats … for the good of the team!

    Essentially, each the S-observe and the L-track are the identical with
    the distinction that L-track rollers are simply an extension of the S-observe.

    Some therapeutic massage chairs even provide
    heated foot massage. Not all therapeutic massage chairs include heat so

    surroundings to provide you with illness prevention methodology.

    Almost all therapeutic massage chairs come with pre-programmed massage options for you
    to choose from. As far as the L-track therapeutic massage chairs are concerned, they’re fairly new to the market.

    massage that earlier 2D fashions didn’t offer. Finding a car

    show difficult, though, and you’ll actually pay extra for
    it. That is the place our therapeutic massage chair consumers information is available in handy, as we consider the extra things you’re taking into consideration the higher off you’ll be.

  4. ישנן שיטות עיסוי רבות המתבססות על טכניקות
    שונות, תכליתן לשפר את מצב רוחם של
