Maybe He Wasn't Cut Out to Be President

Back in 2008, I debated some liberal friends and questioned Mr. Obama's thin resume. They responded by saying that I was missing the point. In other words, don't judge Mr. Obama's resume, but rather his unique ability to inspire and his exceptional judgment.

I guess they were telling me that Mr. Obama was one of those exceptional human beings who rises to the occasion because he is smart and politically astute.

1. Maybe?

2. Liberal friends?

3. Most of us knew when he first reared his ugly head he was unfit.

But at least we can all feel good about ourselves since we'll be paying the freight for him and moochie for the rest of out lives.

The author says, “The bottom line is that he wasn’t cut out to be president of the U.S. My guess is that a lot of those screaming “yes we can” agree with me.”

If they truly felt that way they’d be demanding impeachment.

The minute he used dirty tricks (exposing kinky, sealed divorce records) against that Ryan (R, Ick, IL) who was challenging him for the Senate seat in IL, you HAD to know what was going to happen next.

Total incompetence with just a smidgen of pure evil, all in one package.

The writer still has “liberal friends.” He must be desperate.

Obama smart?

ROFL!

nope, just another black who got given everything including a spot on the Harvard law review because he had the right color skin.

If Obama had been white he would of been lucky to even graduate at a state college with a bachelors degree.

You see, when your not one of the current favored colors, you have to actually EARN what you achieve, instead of it just being given to you so ___________ can meet some quota.

This is what happens when we elect someone with no executive experience to the highest executive position in the world. And in 2008, neither candidate had any executive experience. And now we are paying the price.

It's my opinion that any serious candidate from either party should have at least one successful term as state governor under their belt. Those without this experience have no business even tossing their hat into the ring. The presidency is not the place for on-the-job training.

He used dirty tricks earlier than that against his fellow Dems. That exact info has been scrubbed, courtesy of the Leftist Media in this country.

LOL! We on the other hand have the advantage of white privilege. As a matter of fact, I may just go down to the car dealers today and do the secret handshake and get me a new pickup truck for free.

Here is the REAL test if liberals have learned their lesson...

Will they support Hillary.

Because Hillary is just the ugly, female, less likeable version of Obama.

There is one reason and one reason only she became Senator and has a shot at the presidency.

She is Bill Clintons wife.

Hillary is completely devoid of accomplishments of her own, and much like Obama is completely unqualified for the job of president.

Captain Midnight aside, we need to start electing people with executive experience.

Obama was elected by a cult of personality. A true Manchurian Candidate if there ever was one. He was a vessel used to get a left-wing cabal in control of the government bureaucratic machinery.

Where you been?
Remember when someone made the cocaine claim/accusation about GW? Just the intimation almost cost him the nomination and yet we have an admitted toker and snortin’ dude(when they could get it) selected twice! WTH? I suppose that just gave him more street cred with his organized community. A true man of the people who knows how it is to grow up hard. “Records? We don’t need no steenkin’ records.”

Obama is a smart-ass, leftist slacker. We’ve all met them…in college. Know-it-all yet knew nothing. Espoused leftist platitudes. Smoked a lot of pot. Did some cocaine. Listened to jazz and hip-hop. Was constantly visible in the student union and at parties. Certain girls (and boys) liked to sleep with them. We realized guys like this were good to avoid. We figured they would always remain inconsequential…forever. We were naive.

Every thinking person knows that Obama is not constitutionally qualified to serve as president and is not qualified in any other way to do the job.

He is the black song and dance minstrel for powerful and wealthy people who knew they could play the race card to get him elected.

He is a mindless, air headed juvenile doper, happy to play the role of president while others make the decisions and run the country for their own benefit.

Not that I don’t believe you, but as a Wisconsinite, I try to IGNORE IL politics. THAT situation w/Ryan caught my eye. ;)

Remember that it was Democrats who threw her under the bus in 2008.

I suspect she'll never win a Democratic primary. If the Democrats would trot out a jug-eared nitwit of a Kenyan exchange student to block her path to the White House, they'll use anybody to do it.

We weren't naïve at all. Turns out we were probably right.

I suspect there are two reasons why Obama has completely lost interest in his job. The first one, which gets a lot of play especially in conservative circles, is that he realizes he's been in over his head for years.

The second one, which nobody seems to have pointed out, is that he got to the White House and realized that it's one of the most pointless leadership roles anywhere. He can't even wipe his @ss without having a lobbyist or member of his staff tell him how to do it.

Go back to 2008 and ask yourself how many concrete campaign promises he ever made. There were hardly any of them. Then note that he's hardly fulfilled any of them.

I think Obama likes campaigning but doesn’t like the job.
