Obama Finds Governing more difficult than campaigning.. Shocker
Examiner.com ^ | 2-16-09 | Phoenix Conservative

Posted on 02/16/2009 2:11:06 PM PST by Scott Martin

The LA Times and the MSM foist this inexperience hack on the American people, all the while claiming that the most popular governor in America was too inexperienced for the job, and then act surprised when the guy shows that he doesn't know what he's doing?

How very MSM of them.

He is not effing governing - his job is to destroy America for his Islamo-controllers.

From the Examiner article:

"Take the short view -- the last two weeks -- and the Obama presidency has clearly run into turbulence. "Some may call it amateur hour," Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, acknowledged with a sardonic smile last week."

Rahm Emanuel and I finally agree on something. Amateur is the exact word that I used in a post yesterday to describe Obama's performance as President.

“Fixing a broken economy is turning out to require some drama. To win his stimulus plan, Obama had to turn white-hot and warn that the alternative was “catastrophe.””

ROFLAMO...Zero has no experience except scare the pants off the American people. Then again, that’s all the DemocRATS know how to do.

Yeah. Funny how they never mentioned that during the campaign, yet relentlessly repeated the ‘fact’ that Sarah Palin lacked experience.

This might be a classic example of liberalism chosing symbolism over substance.

Follow me on this one:

The Dems did Band Aid, Hands Across America, Welfare, The Equal Housing act, etc etc...and now the first black President.....President Obama. Symbolically, all these things have at their root good messages and create good vibes. I don’t even argue that. However, none of these things has ever (we’ll see about Obama) risen beyond the excitement of the first date. They are just that...symbolic accomplishments leading to nothing real or tangible.

The GOP, on the other hand, turns Iraq into an ally and a functioning democracy....hard work to be certain....complete with all the mistakes, miscalculations, and screw-ups that go along with taking on such an endeavor. While a symbolic and short-term political failure, it is nevertheless, an actual accomplishment. I could go on but, I think you get the gist of my message. The GOP thinks beyond the date this Friday night. They think about the future. The Dems are just pizza and flowers....they always have been.

My biggest fear is that Obama would not rise above his own symbolism. The man is President of the US afterall. He has a strong record of successfully climbing the ladder of life. He has no record, however, of stopping on any of the levels he risen to and completing even one job. As President, he has run out of ladder. I do fear that he doesn’t even know how to pick up the broom, let alone use it to sweep.

ROFL, his roots are showing:

"To win his stimulus plan, Obama had to turn white-....."

Instead of signing the Stimulus tomorrow, he should sign his resignation letter.

This tin-pot Nazi is being held-up by the Press Brothel and Dem terrorists. As he fails — big time — he will more and more leave the country to the likes of Reid, Pelosi, Emanuel, etc.

He reminds me so much of females who get confused after the wedding. He forgets that there is an afterwards and they have to work at being a good spouse.

"Yep. The dog has caught the car and now has no idea what to do with it......"

He got his Porkulus Bill passed. The Democrats in Congress will give him everything else he wants, too. Oh, yeah - plus a few Senatorial RINO's to help out.

We are all hoping he fails. But I don't see it happening. The best we can hope for is that a lot of voters get "Buyers' Remorse", and we overcome the vote fraud in 2012.

Until then, anything he wants to do is going to be pretty much a lay up.

I have a dog that, whenever a thunderstorm comes through and a lightning bolt flashes nearby, jumps off the deck and goes chasing after it.

I'll bet he's never thought it through about what he would do if he actually caught it, though.
