I love it. The look. Like a defeated football team. Even the “Tingler” has it. I still predict the Crats will do a Blago on him to try to save their sorry asses in 2010.

I hope this is right. It will be fun watching these idiots turn on their boy. 0bama is in way “over his pay grade”. After less than three weeks it’s obvious to veryone he is an idiot who doesn’t have a clue.

I frequent another web site on which political clashes reached a fever pitch pre-election and there was plenty of gloating and licking of wounds on both sides after election day.

But ever since inauguration, I am seeing far less sticking up for the guy except for the totally deluded leftists. Some have gone so far as to admit they made a mistake.

And the ladies on the Right are extremely vocal...it’s really interesting!

That's what happens when you wait until you're almost 50 years old to start a real job. He's been coasting his whole life, but that doesn't give one the knowledge, management skills, real world experience and temperment you need to succeed at a high level. He's on a glide path toward failure, no doubt about it.

Precisely. You've cut straight to the heart of the matter regarding Obama. His whole resume screams that Obama is a man who likes going after a job, but doesn't like actually doing the job once he gets it. He has, indeed, coasted his entire life.

He just doesn’t get it. The man said everything to everyone to get in the Oval Office. The Liberals never thought he would lie to them—only to the hicks out there. The good news is he isn’t a Liberal idealist, Socialist or Communist—he was only an opportunist. Rev. Wright was right when he said he would say anything to be elected. Now that he’s got the job he’s farming it out—outsourcing international relations to Hillary, Domestic to Pelosie and Read. He things that’s all a president needs to do. He’s going to learn he is expected to lead. Something he hasn’t tried before. As he limps along he will offend more and more people. Just wait till he offends the sycophants in the media! The bad guys are warming up to take this guy—and the USA apart. God help us!

I have a gay friend who is starting to express concerns about the bailout. After all, he's a young professional, and will be paying more than his share of the bill, for decades to come.

I like to remind him that he got what he voted for.

This guy is meat with eyes, he’s clueless as to how to proceed, and is apparently totally a tool of labor interests — in the pocket of the labor unions which have no moral ‘issues’ with the policy of mortgaging away our kids’ future so that these greedy cartels can retire early, play golf, let younger generations subsidize their increasing life spans and unending retirement years.

BO is supporting this massive wealth transfer — from retiring masses of greedy public labor union cartels ......to the upcoming kids, who will be harnessed with massive taxes to pay for these pensions, health care costs, and other goodies, in the future.

Shame, shame shame. What POSSESSED him to run for office in the first place? Why bother? - If it’s nothing but to be in political hock to protected, anti-competitive, labor unions? AFL-CIO, and other “labor” (Marxist) groups. who’s sole, singular drum-beat and message is
“Boohoo-I’m-exploited-let-me-rip-off-others-through-”institutionalized-theft”-aka-the-American-political-process”!

He’s totally bought, and therefore will be totally predictable - more government, more wealth transfers, less freedom & free trade.

Too bad he’s ignorant of economics and the effects of his party’s collectivist policies.

What a disaster.

I find myself asking people around me that voted for the 0 how they like the change they voted for.

Obama is cleary still in campaign mode. That's the only thing he knows how to do. Everything about him screams 'amateur hour'; he's totally devoid of any gravitas whatsoever. And you are absolutely right, foreign leaders have already sized Obasma up and are going to take him to school, unfortunately at our expense.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him pressured out of office within six months time.

This makes me think about black doctors. Many black doctors did just as well in college, medical school, and residency, as their white and asian counterparts, but others are "affirmative action" doctors (Jocelyn Elders comes to mind). Patients (even black patients) tend to avoid black doctors, because they're not sure how they got there.

Obama has clearly lived an "affirmative action" life. In a few years it will be obvious to almost everyone that he is supremely incompetent, and that is likely to stigmatize black politicians who actually are competent.

Blacks and white liberals mindlessly threw their support behind Obama without considering whether he was actually a creditable candidate who had the qualifications to successfully perform the duties of the chief executive. They remind me someone who hurridly marries the first person who comes along that is superficially attractive to them. You are right, when Obama fails he will unfortunately stigmatize many qualified black politicians and dimish their opportunitites for leadership at high levels.

I believe that the Big O had his first Oh Bleep moment when he was actually elected, IMHO form all that I’ve listen to and read about him his “Career” was running for public office.
I know of a couple of folks in my state that seem to run for elected office constantly but not get elected, but keep right on raising money and living high on the hog.
They make their living excepting campaign donations and telling everyone how great they would be at run things.
As I said JMHO but maybe he never expected to really win and now really has no plan to go along with the Change to Believe In BS. North Carolina elected one as senator once what we got was an endless run for the POTUS seat.
Posted this on 12/06/2008 think is still is correct.

Those idiots will not turn on him because they’re hypocrites with party first country second mentalities that have been instilled into them from birth like a programmed microchip.

As an ally, I still have faith in American common sense. I still believe your people will come to see the light about Obama. I just hope it won’t be too late.

I've thought this as well. Its very possible he ran expecting to test the waters, raise his visibility, and perhaps make himself a viable VP choice or, if things went better than expected, a presidential candidate the next go around. Then lo and behold, he pulls off the Iowa win and is off to the races (literally). I can't believe he seriously thought he would beat the Clinton machine. All this reminds me of the old adage: be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. Well, he got it and its obvious that he is totally unprepared to take on the burdens of the office.
