Aimless Obama walks alone
The New York Post ^ | 10/09/2011 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 10/09/2011 5:32:48 PM PDT by bilhosty

The reports are not good, disturbing even. I have heard basically the same story four times in the last 10 days, and the people doing the talking are in New York and Washington and are spread across the political spectrum. The gist is this: President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government. He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his political strategist. Everybody else, including members of his Cabinet, have little face time with him except for brief meetings that serve as photo ops. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner both have complained, according to people who have talked to them, that they are shut out of important decisions.

Obama is slowly learning that leftist fantasies are just that.

Unfortunately Michelle told the chef he can’t eat anything that tastes good.

The lesson BOTH parties need to learn here is to put the country above partisanship and promote people who have proven they can handle the job. From the first, when he pushed off the writing of the Obamacare bill to others, and thought foreign leaders would love him the way his neighbors did back in his community organizing days, he believed he just had to show up and that was the job.

Personality and charisma and `star power` and Teleprompters loaded with lines written by speechwriters can only get you so far.

To be a president, one must prove an ability to think on one`s feet, backed by education, experience and the ethical spine of someone who has studied and has faith in what this country is and what it MEANS.

I imagine next we`ll hear about him counting the strawberries and making people call to ask to use the tennis court.

Yeah, that March Madness bracket last year was something else. Why didn’t he just crack open a forty and fire up a spliff while he was at it.

Hitlery and Geithner need to get over themselves, and remember that OBAMA WON. Whiners.

I think he is coming under a judgment from God. NOBODY does the things this man has done toward destroying America, and removing reverence for God from all avenues of public discourse, without incurring the wrath of God. The wheels of God’s justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine!

In the two short videos linked below, a Messianic Rabbi explains how the things besetting our Country are judgements. He also shows how Tom Daschle and John Edwards brought themselves under God’s wrath and fell into disgrace; and he states that the signs indicate that POTUS will be the next one to hit the wall! Call this VANITY if you like. I BELIEVE it.

( * “Obama is walking the halls of the White House late at night, talking to the portraits of former presidents...” * )
" Please Obama, if you are going to channel a former President.....make it Reagan. "

Sounds more like that he needs psychological evolution, in other words, he is showing signs he is going crazy in the head or taking to many drugs.

Well, we knew it was all a campaign lie to gain votes when he said that this administration would be the most open and transparent administration ever.
