The Enquirer also was the most correct on OJ, and found the photo of him wearing the shoes he said he never owned.

It is often correct. I have no doubt this is so. Everything I hear these two say indicates to me they were completely unprepared for this difficult job.

Barack has never held a regular job. He never has done anything but go to school and get entitlements. He worked two years as a Senator where it seems the emphasis was not to let him get pinned down to any positions so they couldn’t be used against him.

B and M have run up against the old protestant work ethic. They bought into the modern meme that if you get to the top, you are better than the rest, and you are entitled.

The old Christian philosophy (which applies to the WH) is that if you get to the top, you are the servant of the people and you are expected to deny yourself and work the hardest you ever had, carry the burdens of the people and pull the very best out of yourself you possibly can. And prepare to be a leader and not be appreciated for years.

Barack and Michelle thought they were going to be royalty. They had a monster inauguration. (Bush got bashed for the cost of his, even though it cost less.) I remember the March 09 story about Obama printed only in Britain where the British aids said, “The president seems astounded by the sheer amount of work that crosses his desk.”

Bush took this work to heart. He worked hard, got up at 5 every day, gave up golf etc. But he was a naturally simple guy. The Obamas think being president means golf, parties, dates in nyc. They totally misunderstood what they were getting into.

I agree with your assessment. THese people had no clue what was coming and further, no interest in anything other than the glory and the fun of deconstructing white america.

Service to others is learned over a lifetime and is hard going. It requires a context including family, God and duty. Obama had none of that, none. His hippy Mother, feckless grandparents, loser Father and entitled wife. He has no life preparation for being President.
