Presidents come and go, but Barack Obama stands above the rest
in one characteristic. He is without doubt
the champion “motor mouth” of all time. It
isn’t even close. Drug addicts must have
their next fix on a daily, or even an hourly, basis. Barack is just as driven to deliver his next
speech. He is totally addicted to the
sound of his own voice.
Recently, he received massive media coverage for his State of
the Union speech. A normal politician
would enjoy that huge exposure and relax for a bit, but not our boy. He, his teleprompter, and his entourage are
off on Air Force One the very next day to “speak” once again in North
Carolina. That is followed by two
successive days of yet more speeches. Four
days and four speeches! For Barack, that is orgasmic.
Also, what you see is what you get. That’s the Obama presidency in a
nutshell. Talk, and talk, and talk to
satisfy his overwhelming need to voice his perceived superior intellect. His only presidential actions are to expand his
voter base by promoting a Greek-style entitlement society. Other than that, Obama doesn’t actually “do”
anything, except talk. North Korea,
Syria, Mali, Iran, Benghazi, the economy, and the deficit don’t
reach his attention level. Considering action
on these hot spots would interfere with writing and delivering the daily speech.
Barack rationalizes this approach by labeling it “leading from behind.” A more realistic assessment would be “a continual
failure to do anything at all.”
Only vacations in plush surroundings interfere with the daily talking
fix. If the vacation includes golf with
rich supporters so much the better. Those
problems that so occupy other presidents are ignored.
