Obama Doesn't Get How to Be President

If you would like to read a good book as to where RACIST/RACISM started, get the book "The Big Black Lie" by Kevin Jackson (a conservative black man.) GOOD READING!!

More than any candidate for President in the history of the United States, Obama is a product of a PR campaign. What little substance there is of the man has had to be washed from the record books....his grades, writings, and associations have all been hidden or said to have meant nothing. Anyone who was had the intellectual honesty to ignore the onslaught of media puff pieces and soft ball loaded, image enhancing interviews, is not surprised to learn Barrack Obama is merely a radically liberal activist with no leadership skills and an ego problem. Add his public embarrassment for America and his propensity for fueling racial divides whenever he finds them, and you have a man not worthy of the highest office in the land.

He was the owner of no real accomplishments as a politician yet has handled the Presidency without humility. He calls himself a community organizer yet he looks on ordinary Americans with disdain and condescension.

He insults our intelligence on a daily basis with baseless claims, straw man arguments, and lies that are easily foiled by a few minutes on the internet.

After only 7 months, i find myself wondering if this will be the worst President of the modern era or if Obama will grow into the job as Bill Clinton did. Unfortunately, i believe Obama's goal of changing America into the image of his well hidden mentors takes priority over all else. This leaves us, as Americans, one choice.....fight this administration tooth and nail for 3 1/2 more years then quickly toss it into the dustbin of history, using it only as a example to future generations of the dangers of shallowly selecting a President on the basis of a good infomerical.

The arrogance of this administration will be its undoing. Truth be told it wasn't the rock star Obama who won the election, it was the paniced McCain who ran to Washington when the Credit Crisis emerged, and then during the debates decided that while discussing what to do it would be best to talk about earmarks, who lost it.

Obama, with the wind at his back (a very unpopular Republican in office), was not able to seal the deal until McCain proved Republican skeptics correct that he was one of the worst candidates we could have nominated. McCain's performance the week the credit crisis paniced the markets, compiled with a terrible debate performances sealed Obama's victory.

Apparently Obama's handlers would disagree; and that will be his and their undoing. Hid handlers would tell me that Obama defeated a well financed Hillary Clinton. I would retort that her natural political skills were amatuer at best, and she too was a very bad candidate because she was never embrased by her party, to the Democrats credit they were not ready to corronate her. However, make no mistake, Hillary's surge at the end proved how Obama's "Rock Star" image could easily be defeated. Had Hillary not gone for the Corronation, she would have defeated Obama easily. Not planning for post Tsunami Tuesday was effectively the end of Hillary. On how to run against Obama, the Republicans (McCain and his handlers) refused to follow Hillary's lead....The Rev. Wright stuff that was so damaging all of a sudden dissappeared.

In the end, being merely a "Rock Star" does not sell, not when there are serious issues out there. Throughout Obama's entire career he has run with the wind at his back; but the tail wind has been replaced with a head wind of real people. Gimicks and pop star status will no longer work. This guy better get serious and fast, or he will be in for a long 3+ years.

In my lifetime I have never seen a guy look so out matched and be surrounded by such incompetance. Humility and prudence would serve this President well....I won't hold my breath!

We, as a people, owe respect to the Office of President of The United States, even if we cannot respect the person holding that office. Unfortunately, I think the problem with the President is that he has never learned the lesson that he is THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. He's no longer a Democrat who must show loyalty to the party. His personal beliefs and wishes do not come into play as the President. If he was President of only the Democrats maybe, what he's doing would work, but he's not. He must govern a nation, not demonize the people he governs. He really needs to remember that he governs by the consent of the people and, as such, must put personal beliefs aside, and govern with consideration for all citizens of The United States, whether they agree with his personal beliefs or not. You cannot force a majority of the population to accept bad laws because of a personal belief of a sitting president. He must also realize that he represents the people of this country to other nations, and, as such, behave accordingly, with dignity and consideration of said people, when dealing with foreign nations.
