Obama: In Over his head

You have to read this article. That's not a demand, it's a fact.

Not interested? Okay, lemme dig up a quote.

"Barack Obama's offhand approach to Gordon Brown's Washington visit last week came about because the president was facing exhaustion over America's economic crisis and is unable to focus on foreign affairs, the Sunday Telegraph has been told."

Still not interested? How about...

"A British official conceded that the furore surrounding the apparent snub to Mr Brown had come as a shock to the White House. "I think it's right to say that their focus is elsewhere, on domestic affairs. A number of our US interlocutors said they couldn't quite understand the British concerns and didn't get what that was all about."

The American source said: "Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda.

"That was the gamble these guys made at the front end of this presidency and I think they're finding it a hard thing to do everything." "

now?

Whether or not you read these words, they were said. The President of the United States of America has lost confidence in himself. He went in thinking, like many liberals, that the job that President Bush had acquired would be a cake-walk for someone as brilliant and inspiring as himself. Perhaps, now that one of their own is in this stressful and difficult situation the liberals will have newfound respect for the man they called Chimpy. I wonder if Michael Moore would have the audacity, the BALLS if you would, to give President Obama the same treatment he gave President Bush after he had been informed of the attack. Silly me, that would involve self-honesty, something the “intellectual elite” have none of.

Conservatives have been trying to make the point for months now that Obama is not everything the drive-by media (trademark Rush) has made him out to be. From his fumbling oratory after a teleprompter malfunction…


To his dismissal of campaign promises (skip to 1:18)…


To unheard of corruption amongst his own staff…


One needs only access to the internet to know just how badly Obama is doing. When the same media sources that were biased in his favor are reporting the mistakes, however quietly, you know something is up. Yet, we’re told to wait, “it hasn’t even been a hundred days!” they cry. As if that stopped the defenders from criticizing President Bush immediately upon taking office.

President Obama has been fine with multi-million dollar parties for his nomination (Greek temple anyone?) his two gargantuan parties for the inauguration and yet still has the audacity to complain about the top two percent of wage-earners in America. To say that he’s showing signs of incompetence, paranoia and worse yet delusion is an understatement. I don’t need a 100 days to see what the man has done in the past few weeks, I just need a gin and tonic to deal with it (minus the tonic).
