Is this a trick question ?
The president’s problem isn’t that he is too visible; it’s the lack of content in what he says when he keeps showing up on the tube. Obama can seem a mite too impressed with his own aura, as if his presence on the stage is the Answer. There is, at times, a self-referential (even self-reverential) tone in his big speeches. They are heavily salted with the words “I” and “my.” (He used the former 11 times in the first few paragraphs of his address to the U.N. last week.) Obama is a historic figure, but that is the beginning, not the end, of the story.
There is only so much political mileage that can still be had by his reminding the world that he is not George W. Bush. It was the winning theme of the 2008 campaign, but that race ended nearly a year ago. The ex-president is now more ex than ever, yet the current president, who vowed to look forward, is still reaching back to Bush as bogeyman.
He did it again in that U.N. speech. The delegates wanted to know what the president was going to do about Israel and the Palestinian territories. He answered by telling them what his predecessor had failed to do. This was effective for his first month or two. Now it is starting to sound more like an excuse than an explanation.

Ping.
Yes.
Yes.
I hear Rush say this a lot. Guess he got it from Jim Geraghty.
I told him in a few months that he and all of his atheist buddies would be praying to Jesus, to have George Bush back.
Yep.
Obama wants to destroy the USA. He has been working hard on it.
“...just a blowhard who likes to blame other people?”
They’ve described themselves and the whole left wing; unless Obama isn’t one of them, I’d say it goes without saying.
I have said the same thing to my liberal friends/family members.
I’d qualify it that all of his statement to the general public have an expiration date. He is trying to keep his marxist vows that he made among lefties.
Yes, he is very taken with himself. Probably more so than any politician I’ve seen, even Bill Clinton (and that’s saying a lot). Its gonna wear pretty thin though as all those problems HE can’t solve start to back up. He can only blame others so long.
Is the sky blue?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is Obama a narcissist?
Now it makes sense.
>> Is Obama just a blowhard who likes to blame other people?
No.
He is MUCH more malevolent than that. He is evil; utterly devoid of good character.
Fortunately for us, he is also lazy and incompetent.
>> I told him in a few months that he and all of his atheist buddies would be praying to Jesus, to have George Bush back.
LOL! Good answer.
I had my issues with W, but I’d have him back in a heartbeat relative to Bambi.
And Laura vs. the Proud Beyotch is a no-brainer!
And replace it with the USO...United States of Obama...
Obama is a historic figure, but that is the beginning, not the end, of the story.
Obama is not an historic figure. Obama is an asshole.
