But then the question that must logically follow is “who is really in charge?”

[SeeSharp]

I don’t entirely agree. Obama does have a plan. His problem is that the plan he wants to implement, socialism, is one he does not dare admit to publicly.

[Secret Agent Man]

Remember it’s not about him right? Not his plan. Probably never read HR3200.

In disclosure I haven’t read the whole thing but I have skimmed it to look at all the points Heritage and Liberty Counsel have pointed out.

LOL! Harold Stassen has a newfound appeal to me! :)

Honey, even a nitwit knows that when a president must hire out his real job to 32 czars, he was never CEO material.

This is an excellent point and bears repeating.

[Brytani]

If we can not get Obama impeached, we’ve got to cut him off at the knees.

He has too much power, vested in the constitution, all the while lacks the intelligence, ethics or executive experience to use these powers correctly.

Our current stock of elected leaders cannot be counted on to control this semi-mad man in the White House; that leaves us, the American Citizen, to save America before Obama destroys her from within.

Leaders don't fall from the sky without proof they ever made friends and dated girlfriends and earned grades and had businesses and wrote papers, folks. Leaders have visible trails; they have made a record of their successes and proudly show them whenever asked.

Someone's dipping their toe in the birther pool!

Excellent post.

The first time I ever cast a vote was in 1972. With Obama only about 6 1/2 months into his first (and hopefully only) term, I already rate him as the worst President that I’ve seen in my lifetime (yes, even worse than Carter!).

What have we got to even make the assumption this man is smart? No one has been able to see his college grades because he has had them sealed along with every other facet of his earlier life.

Besides, to be smart means to have actually done something of note or exhibited the ability to take life’s experiences and teachings and use them to make the sum total of these experiences greater then the individual aspects. In other words to create something.

Intelligence is what you are born with, smart is what you become (sometimes)

And Carrhae, Teutoburg Forest and Adrianople.

“Varus, give me back my legions!”

“Obama, give me back my country!”

Everyone knows that was G W Bush's problem.

Rules for Radicals is the title of the book, A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals, by Saul Alinsky. He’s no longer alive, but his work lives on.

Here is Saul Alinsky’s dedication to his own book: “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer."

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I would beg to differ on that... one can say that he definitely has Chicago thug street smarts...

[Prophet in the wilderness]

” ...and take names. “ .... and sends his thugs out to bulley innocent private citizens....

[Ann Archy]

Amen...and he uses RIDICULE to the NTH DEGREE!! He is a CLEVER thug.

[ripley]

“Maybe the guy’s not as smart as everyone was led to believe.”

And maybe everyone isn’t as dumb as the pseudo-intellectual members of the Democrat party say they are.

IMHO

All during the campaign, the dimrat ozero NEVER laid out a plan for anything. He got away with huge generalities of “hope and change”. NO ONE held his feet to the fire to get specific on anything. At least in the policical/election world. Now, ozero is being pushed for specifics and his supporters (party and media) are screaming racism. Sorry, the racist tag is about worn out and does not apply here. His occupying the White House and is supposed to be the president, not be the permanant campaigner without telling the American taxpayer of what he plans to do. Honestly, if he/his party/his media were to be honest on what they want to do, the American taxpayer would storm the White House and demand that he resign.

Penned with perfection.

What Obama hides is his own Catch-22.
