Poor Baby Obama: I Have To Make The ‘Really Hard’ Decisions

Two big stories emerged from Pres. Obama’s interview with New York Times reporters aboard Air Force One yesterday:
1. we have a whining, self-pitying president. 2. The Times scrubbed from its article the worst of the president’s comments, the ones that revealed him in that self-pitying light.
Fortunately, the Today show had the tapes, and played them this morning. According to Today, when President Obama met with reporters from the New York Times yesterday aboard Air Force One, his goal was “trying to sound hopeful and reassuring.” Mission not accomplished. As ambivalent as were the president’s putatively reassuring words on the economy, the delivery was even worse–halting and anything but assured. Be sure to view the video.
But much worse was his whining when it came to the burdens of his office:
PRES. OBAMA: I wish I had the luxury of just dealing with a modest recession or just dealing with health care or just dealing with energy or just dealing with Iraq or just dealing with Afghanistan. I don’t have that luxury, and I don’t think the American people do, either.
A bit later came this stunning statement, edited out of the Times story but broadcast by Today

His entire past is hidden and unavailable.No, actually, it isn't. Who and what Obama is has been clear as a bell for a long time. When people on the Right were obsessing over "Jorge" Bush, and "RINO" Guiliani, and Mormon Romney, and "Juan" McCain, and "Hitlery," etc., a few of us were lone voices in the wilderness trying to warn about how dangerous the Marxist Obama is.
Even now, the Right is busily engaged in its circular firing squad, finding and purging more faux enemies in its own ranks than attempting to unite and confront the real danger.

You are much more charitable regarding Obama. I think his soul is rebellious and he is completely committed to his lawless agenda - first to destroy this country, and thereby create chaos in the earth.

“Notice how The Messiah used improper english: ‘if it was easy...’, while the NYT corrected the transcript to say, properly ‘if it were easy...’.”
Great catch, and reflective of the same mentality at the NY Times that omitted the quote from the main article on the interview.

He (President Bush) was always, always self-assured in the decisions he made in what he believed were the best interests of America.Faith in God will do that for a person.

President Bush was dealing w/all that and the Stone-age press attack machine at the same time. He carried himself with dignity and made those tough decisions. Course he didn’t hate America.

The president has to love America in order to rise to the ocassion to serve it.
Obama does not love America, and resents the demands of the office.
Being President is "above Obamas pay grade."
Hateful is he not?
Barely masked.
