For these first six months, it has strictly been a one man show in the White House. Barack is on stage continually. His act consists solely of non-stop talking, every day, all day. Obama’s enormous ego causes him to believe he can talk us into anything. If he senses resistance, he simply escalates by talking still more.
Lately, a couple of other performers have crowded in on Obama’s act. Hillary suddenly burst out of the quiet isolation to which she had been assigned. With great fanfare she toured around the world pretending she had a lead role in the Obama show. As luck would have it, Hillary barely emerged from the depths of the State Department when she managed to step “in it.” Hillary offered our missile shield technology to the Israelis in the event Iran developed a nuclear weapon.” The Israelis interpreted that as an acceptance by the U.S. that we would allow Iran to proceed with the development of their nuclear bomb. It signaled a major change in U.S. policy to the world.
Hillary went on from there by comparing North Korea to a spoiled child that fired off all those missiles and continued to work on their nuclear bomb simply to get attention. That was really a brilliant and comforting diplomatic move, Hillary. Considering that the leaders are certified nutcases that kind of talk is sure to get the desired reaction. Yeah, sure.
But, didn’t Barack promise us he would “talk to” the Iranians and the North Koreans and convince them to do our bidding? I guess they are still laughing in both countries at that display of naivety. It certainly hasn’t impacted their behavior one whit.
The third prong of the expanding White House act came from yet another “mouth” seeking fame, that of VP Joe Biden. First, he comes up with the “reset button” bit for the Russians. They too must be still laughing at the hilarity of this administration’s sophomoric perspective on diplomacy. But, after recent talks with the Russians on many heavy topics, Joe then tells the press that we really don’t have to worry about the Russians. Joe says the Russian economy is so bad they will ultimately collapse. Therefore, we only have to wait for the inevitable. More brilliant diplomacy, Joe.
If this all wasn’t so serious it would be hilarious. You wonder if the focus of this administration is on entertaining the public rather than governing it. Barack’s act has gotten terribly tiresome and boring for all but his most loyal supporters. Nancy, Harry, Barney, Waxman, Dodd, Rangel, and a host of similar comedians try unsuccessfully to liven things up. Hillary and Joe simply highlight the obvious weakness of the team.
Most professional performers strive to be entertaining and even humorous. Obama’s group is simply mouthy and depressing, but unfortunately very dangerous.

Obama "Outraces" Al Sharpton
You have to feel sorry for the Reverend Al Sharpton. He carefully built a national career by hopping on every incident that had even the slightest racial overtone and turning it into a media circus. Since Obama’s election, the demand for his services as Chief Race Baiter has been severely diminished. Now, Obama comes out and totally takes over his gig by declaring that the Cambridge police “acted stupidly” in arresting Professor Gates, a friend of Barack’s. This is too much.
We have become accustomed to Reverend Sharpton appearing on camera screaming about racial injustices imposed on a black man by a white policeman. Everybody should know this is Reverend Sharpton territory. Yet, the President of the United States one-ups the Reverend on the Gates incident.
As it turned out, Reverend Al must be glad that he was preempted by His Arrogance. The incident blew up in Barack’s face when the facts unfolded indicating that the arrest was anything but “stupid.” Everyone but Barack is asking how on earth the President of the United States got himself embroiled in this local controversy. What with all the problems facing the Oval Office, it has to be put down as a result of Barack’s petty arrogance. This is the best our President can do, we ask?
What is really significant is that Barack came off as the racist in the incident. It is he who in knee-jerk fashion screamed that a black man was mistreated by a white man, just like the Reverend Wright preached to him for those twenty years. Now, Barack wants to have a beer with the arresting officer and Professor Gates to discuss the issue. That’s a great idea. They could add a trained facilitator to the discussion with the topic , “why did Barack react like a racist before the facts were known.” It is Barack who is out in left field on this one, not Sgt. Crowley or even the Professor. Perhaps the discussion can help Barack with his obvious race problem.
You were lucky Barack hogged this one, Reverend Sharpton.
An observation: A beer with two Cambridge, Mass. types? This is not Milwaukee, Barack.

Hillary Fights for Space
One advantage of the Obama administration is that he has shuffled Hillary so far into the background that she is almost invisible. Even more amazing, he has rendered her quiet as a mouse. However, nobody can silence Hillary, not even Barack. Now Hillary has made her move to emerge from political Siberia. She thrust herself onto center stage in a speech in Mumbai. Hillary picked up on the Barach “apologize for America” theme. It wasn’t easy to find a subject that Barack hadn’t already apologized for, but she found it. She apologized for America’s contribution to climate change:
“We acknowledge now with President Obama that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change," she said. "We are hoping a great country like India will not make the same mistakes."
That is absolutely hilarious. In the first place, Hillary doesn’t have it in her bones to be sorry about anything. Her actions are totally determined by “what’s good for Hillary.” In fact, apologies are totally un-Hillary. She is fighting to get her broad backside back in front of the public. This seemed like a good theme since it played to Barack’s ego.
Nonetheless, I’m developing a complex about all these things Barack and his crowd are apologizing for. Until recently, I was proud to be American. I never realized being an American was so bad. It’s no wonder that the only thing America has done that Michelle is proud of is to elect Barack president. Obviously listening to the Reverend Wright for 20 years takes its toll on one’s thinking.
