I am unaware of the age of this particular aphorism, but it has gained
tremendously in popularity in the last few years. Democrats trot it
out every Obama orbit to admonish us that we must vote for the
bankster-boy as well as continue on with struggles related to labour,
gender, identity, so on issues. The expression never fails to grate on
my nerves. My standard response to the call has become: well yes, you
have certainly proved that you can chew gum and walk backwards at the
same time.
