The Audacity of the Obama's
The American Thinker ^ | February 17, 2009 | Lauri B. Regan

Who would have thought that a CEO position would be tiring? And not just any CEO but the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, the Commander in Chief and the Messiah.

Apparently Barack Obama had no idea that all of that hard work would actually be just that -- hard work. I suppose he thought the job of POTUS would be just as much fun as the two years he spent on the campaign trail. He must have been under the illusion that the citizens of this great country would swoon over his tax cheating choices for cabinet members and staff, and that the kool-aid buzz evident during the campaign would keep the media brainwashed for the four years of his term.

Unfortunately for Obama, the buzz is quickly wearing off.

Well, if he sinks us into a depression, gets us nuked and taken over by crazed jihadists then perhaps the MSM will begin to change their tune. Or, maybe not.

Just saw actress Anne Hathaway on Jimmy Kimmel. If you need an example of a Kool Aid drinker, she is it.

Sycophant does not cover it. Drooling Obamameister might be a better description. After she went on about how she can be proud of America again, she went on to say how wonderful it is to have a man of integrity in the White House.

This is what we are up against. This Obama guy could torch the Constitution on pay per view and the libs would faint in ecstasy. The alternate universe does exist.

Whatever you do, don't see this empty headed bimbo's new move Bride Wars. No need to feed the beast.

I’m seeing Obama as a man who has never had to really think about issues or bore in on the facts. He’s more like a man whose thoughts are made up of whispers, and whomever whispers in his ear last has the topmost thought.

No wonder he’s tired of playing President. Too hard to think clearly; easier to go with the last suggestion. No principles, no core, a zero.

Not enough APPLAUSE and OVATIONS at the White House so he has to go on the road all the time.......PATHETIC!

I agree with that assessment and add that Obama is as mesmerized by his own rhetoric as many of the Kool-aid drinkers. I think he feeds off the applause, the pomp and circumstance, the teleprompter speeches and short, if any, question periods, the swooning audience. He doesn’t have that in the White House where it is work, horse-trading, hard negotiations, hard questions by an aggressive White House press corp, aides spoon-feeding him answers he can’t think of at the moment. I think it is telling that, as he was campaigning last week for the stimulus, he invited a Republican congressman to ride Air Force One with him to the townhall meeting he held. Yet, for the duration of the flight, he never tried to discuss the matter with the congressman one on one, instead publicly challenging his townhall audience to pressure the congressman to vote Obama’s way. He’s a bully, and needs his gang to back him up when he does it.

"....Maybe a early Impeachment, I been drinking Koolaid again!...."

You can forget about an impeachment unless some real conservatives retake Congress in 2010.

He is still in campaign mode. It is so much easier than actually governing!
