This would seem to be the first job as an adult that "The One" has had where he is expected to perform. Victor Hanson has an excellent article on that observation. The sad truth is that you can't talk your way out of incompetence on the worlds biggest stage, but he's trying.
Let's face the fact that "The One" prefers shoveling money to pork projects and guaranteeing loans to state owned oil conglomerates than cutting back the failed leftist ideology. That's why he has failed at putting Americans back to work.
Whether by malice or by stupidity, the results there of may lead directly to our demise.
