It’s hard to overstate how poorly Barack Obama is doing in the face of these crises — and I don’t even mean how he’s doing substantively, which is a scandal in itself. I mean how he’s doing politically. Recall how much hay Michael Moore made of the fact that George W. Bush read My Pet Goat for nine minutes in that Florida classroom on 9/11 after being informed that the first plane had struck.

We’re going on four weeks now, or more, that Barack Obama has been reading My Pet Goat.

LOL! Excellent point!

I suppose in all fairness to Obama - I'd be doing only a little better if I sat around all day watching Sportscenter and HBO like he does.

What else would you expect from a Frenchman born in 1890?

Paradox - the President shrinks, the Presidency expands.

nobama’s idea of leadership is creating a NCAA ranking. Great leadership from nobama, the equal opportunity poster child. nobama embarrasses him self daily but does not see it. He’s up to 62 golf outings as of today.

He doesn’t know how to handle crises. The situations in Japan and the Middle East weren’t covered by his Communist indoctrination. His handlers, also Communists, weren’t schooled in how to handle crises either. All they know is wealth redistribution, exploit the poor, destroy the rich. Terrorism, upheaval in other countries, natural disaster? Those things weren’t covered in the indoctrination.

Obuma has exceeded all my expectations of becoming the most hated man of his time.

Actually Barack Hussein is -translating- ‘My Pet Goat’ into an Austrian language Stakhanovite shockworker’s exhortation manual.

It will be known as “The Workers’ and Peasant’s Collective Lactose Production Unit #666”.

It must be time for Obama to take Michelle and her posse to Rio for Spring Break!

I just can’t take him that seriously. He is a symptom, not the disease; a pustule rather than the smallpox.

What was portrayed as “coolness” during the campaign has proven to be a weird detachment from what is going on. The statements he reads from his teleprompter are delivered with a complete lack of any presence in the moment. He could be reading a recipe. Then he goes off for another round of golf....Very strange indeed!

Obama reminds me of the African American parents I've observed at concerts at my son's school.

They observe the concert, along with all the other moms and dads.

But when everybody applauds, at the end of a song, or when the band director introduces the band, they sit still, not moving a muscle.

I agree, times call for serious people with serious ideas. Bam has neither. I do not hate him, but it is easy enough to loathe him for ineptness and ignore him as he is inconsequential.

I would add to the list the budget, he essentially is punting on it. His reticence to engage will insure his political doom in November, 2011. Events will not fix themselves and when asked why we have little to offer as solutions, the empty suit will be there for EVERYONE to see.

He is a one termer.

In a sense, it is better that this nitwit does nothing. Keep him in the playpen and let things go to hell...

We just have to grind this out and wait for a competent executive to replace him.

As a President, Obama, is a fairly good Community Organiser.

When it comes to world problems he hasn’t got a clue.

More and more, the comparisons to Carter are obvious.

Carter allowed the Iranians to hold the US embassy staff hostage for a year. Obmam has now allowed the Pakistanis (supposedly an ally) to hold Raymond Davis for months.....thee's NO difference..
