Obama: "Who me?"

Obama’s list of shortcomings just gets longer and longer and more serious. The rash of scandals in the last few days highlights the seriousness of his gaps in presidential skills.  Apparently Obama believes he has simplified the presidential duties down to only one item; give at least one speech every day.   Managing the responsibilities of the various Cabinet members is not in his definition of responsibilities.  Besides, his speech making schedule doesn’t leave any time for that.

Barack’s reaction to the scandals is amazing, even for him.  “Who me?  I don’t know a thing about any of that. Jay Carney will tell you the same thing.”  Barack is astonished that we hold him responsible for what some lowly employees down the chain may be doing.  Not his problem.   Of course, the cynics among us want to be assured that the lowly guy isn’t simply responding to pressure from the top.

All of this would be a big hoot if it weren’t for the importance of a vacated U.S. Presidency.

Obama unmasked

First and foremost, Obama’s gargantuan ego overwhelms all his other personal characteristics.  In his mind, he needs defer to no one.  His ego constantly reminds him that he is the smartest guy in the room.  This causes the surprise Obama reaction to opponents, “how can you possibly disagree with me?”

Barack’s major talent, perhaps his only one, is he can talk non-stop to anyone who will listen.   Apparently the sound of his voice is almost orgasmic.  This causes him to give at least one speech a day to any audience within the range of Air Force One.   Washington D.C. has long been known for producing “talkers” but this guy sets a completely new standard for vocal cord perseverance.

It does not bother Barack that his words in today’s speech have no relevance to words he has previously spoken.  He simply reacts to his latest reading of the political winds and spews yet more words to match.  In doing so, Obama’s words never infringe on the concept of integrity.

Apparently he spends so much time talking there is no time left for taking any action. His famous “Lead from Behind” approach seems to be the standard for his lack of action on all issues.  The full extent of Obama’s action orientation is to list the actions he is considering.

Obama comes off as more of a Chicago ward organizer that the President of the United States.   He is sadly reminiscent of cheap Chicago politics.  He criticizes opponents by name, and degrades anyone with a differing opinion.  

Summarizing, we have a President who can talk the ears off of any other human being.   Yet, he is all talk.  He always finds an excuse for his lack of action on any issue.  As the Texans would say “he is all hat but no cattle.”  Then, he tops it off by showing zero presidential class while performing like a cheap Chicago politician.  

Steel yourself.  We have three more years of the same.
