What is wrong with Barack Obama? I think the man is a menace, a reckless amateur of the worst sort. A delegator (or just plain lazy), he surrounds himself with hacks that have done little more than diminish his position with the people of this country. Barack Obama himself may be able to fool some of the people, some of the time… but his cronies? People like Sebelius, Axelrod and Gibbs are hardly the kind of people you want front and center on anything of any importance. Sebelius was Governor of a nothing state (sorry Kansas), Axelrod is a behind the scenes operator and player, Gibbs is a doughie mess, easily riled and often left stammering awkwardly. Why would these be the faces that I saw trying to articulate healthcare for the executive branch? Did they want to fail?
Anybody with a lick of sense should have known that Obama needed to be front and center. He needed to be “lawyered up” on the plan, well versed in what he was talking about in order that he maintain his “coolness” factor. There was no room for a “mom jeans” moment, surely not when the Congress was going to be represented by dim witted zealots like Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Schumer et al. With Ted Kennedy sidelined the Democratic short list that would be pushing this plan could have been riding a short bus to the capitol. Obama needed to be the reassuring presence, the guy that let America believe, “Fear not, these idiots aren’t really in charge, I am.” We didn’t get that for weeks… but worse, when Obama decided it was time that he do some of the heavy lifting, he was ill informed and ill prepared. He declared with conviction that private insurance would survive the public option because Fed Ex and UPS were doing just fine against a failing US Postal Service. Wow, how reassuring. I’m opposed to the liberal/socialist agenda of this President, but I doubt I could have gummed up the works this well if I were Obama’s Chief of Staff. It is simply amazing to me to watch the implosion of this administration.
So when the healthcare debate goes south, what does this president do? He, revisits CIA interrogations of terrorists and murderers! I cannot help but think that Obama has completely lost every bit of “mojo” he once had. What a winner this thing is going to be for the Obama Administration. Our CIA interrogators made threats and used force to intimidate murderers! Who in their right mind is going to get worked up about the supposed torture of three ANIMALS?! I cannot wait until the media is forced to read the resumes of these disgusting subhuman thugs.
Keep it up, President Obama! I love you for this. You give conservatives one gift after another. You are completely out of touch with the American people. You would have us believe that this is Holder and not you, but this is you. This revisiting of the CIA interrogations is desperate and it will end in a further diminishing of President Obama’s approval and standing with the American people. Bravo! Anybody have some popcorn?
