Perfect analogy of Obama’s presidency.

Via Politico:

President Obama may have reiterated Dr. Martin Luther King’s praise of India as “Gandhi’s land,” a place that proved fertile ground for the late American civil rights leader, but a sapling the president planted at the Mahatma’s memorial during a recent trip to India has reportedly withered in only 10 days.

The baby tree, a ficus religiosa adjacent to a still-thriving tree planted by former President Bill Clinton in 2000, has lost all of its leaves and is on its death bed. The plant’s demise ultimately came from neglect, India Today reported, and not inclement weather as the gardener has claimed.

Obama planted the baby tree on Jan. 25 during his visit to India, where he was Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s chief guest for India’s Republic Day celebrations.
