President Obama urged compromise Monday as he pushed congressional Republicans to reach an agreement to avoid big spending cuts due to take effect at the end of the week.

"There are always going to be some areas where we have genuine disagreement ... but there are more areas where we can do a lot more cooperating than we have seen in the past couple years," Obama told a meeting of the National Governors Association at the White House.

"At some point, we've got to do some governing. And, certainly, we can't keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis." . . .

Ubama has no time for "governing."

The only thing he is capable of is "campaigning."

I agree. This country needs a real president. The life like, cardboard prop thing isn't working out so well.

If this guy weren't president I'd be laughing. As it is, I'm crying....

Did any of those in attendance begin laughing out loud? I recall attending a “management conference” when our new leader was hired. He had his “management” theory to put forth. It was better than a SNL skit, or at least I thought. His presentation was wheels turning connected by a small wheel which he called the linch pin showing how everything is interconnected but some more important than others. I was virtually howling when a cohort
regional manager whispered to me, he is not joking, he is serious. I think that example fits this guy to a T.

Frankly, I love where this is going. It’s better than watching a movie.

Now, if I had not left Seattle for a cozy and fairly self sufficient small farm in central Kentucky a couple of years ago, this would be causing me a lot of consternation.

Worst leader ever.

He wouldn't know what leadership is if it bit him in the rear. He's never led so much as a 7-11.

Yeah. He keeps telling us someone has to get out there and do his job, because he's not doing it. Someone (obviously not him) has to take a leadership role!

Typical leftists. Always expecting other people to do all the work.

He’ll have to stay off the golf course and quit partying across the USA to “do some governing”.

He is accountable after all...

Two SEALS and no one's coming
We're totally on our own
Obama can't hear the phone ring
Four dead in Benghazi

Gotta get air cover
Terrorists are cutting us down
Should have been nuked long ago
What if he did squat and
Saw him dragged all around
How can he golf when we know?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
