On the seventh day, God rested. But not Barack. Knowing the great work of mismanaging health care, bankrupting the economy and giving aid and succor to the nation's enemies was not yet done, the president appeared on no fewer than five television programs on Sunday, Sept. 20 -- lecturing the American people on the need for immediate action on thousands of pages of health care legislation that neither he nor anyone else has even read.
This is good for us. We need to know the error of our ways. Barack will do that for us, and then some! No president has ever talked so much, or dished out so much free and unsolicited advice.
Appearing on television before millions of American school children earlier in the month, he served up one platitude after another of stunning banality. "This above all," he said, "to thine own self be true." No, wait, it was Shakespeare's Polonius who said that. But Barack said something strikingly similar. That was just one of dozens of recent speaking engagements for this most front-and-center of presidents.
Like Polonius, who proudly announces in Hamlet that he "played once i'th' university…I did enact Julius Caesar," Mr. Obama is something of a thespian.
Speaking on the anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, he played the part of an angry Moses come down from the mountaintop -- warning bankers what would happen if they failed to mend their ways in accordance with his commandments. He told them that he would not intervene a second time to save them from themselves. No, he would let them fall straight to hell. "I want them (i.e. the evil bankers) to hear my words," said he, nodding his head at the gravity of his own words.

Fearless Leader believes that the more exposure he has with his subjects the more they'll obey his wishes and shut up.
The more he talks the more his poll #’s drop. When your opponent is busy kickin’ his own @$$ just stand by quietly and watch, and when there’s an opening to land a haymaker then take your best shot....
When I was in boot camp a long time ago I was with a bunch of eastern Tennessee boys and they used the phrase:
“mouth runs like a whippoorwill’s ass.”
Same stuff comes out of both of 'em....
Perhaps familiarity breeds contempt, but I miss whippoorwills.
I just watched as Diane Feinstein was on a show and saying that Obama should take his time in deciding whether or not to send more troops to Afghanistan.
What is the rush to jam health care down our throats. The situation in Afghanistan is much more critical that health care right now.
If this health care is shoved through our worthless Congress (worthless save for a few) the Americans will revolt!
How about get out of my White House and get out of my country!
