Obama Has Failed to Answer the Difficult Questions
REAL CLEAR POLITICS ^ | September 5, 2009 | William Murchison

Posted on 09/05/2009 8:02:01 AM PDT by kellynla

They're all over him -- swarms, flocks, flights of critics taking apart President Obama: his style, his motives, his modus operandi, assuming he has one.

Charles Krauthammer, in a dead-on column, called him "Obama the Mortal." Peggy Noonan, in the Wall Street Journal, sought to close the deal: "Obama has grown boring ... He always has the same stance. There is no humor or humility in it ... He is cold ..." Cries of alarm escaped the mouth of Time Magazine's Joe Klein: "He has to lead, clearly and decisively, starting now." How's he going to restore his sagging popularity and procure enactment of health care reform?

Well, we'll see. There's a lot more out there to look at, even so. What we see, when we really look hard, are the consequences of celebrity politics. In naming Obama their chief magistrate, American voters handed over their credit cards for a pig in a poke -- as, by the way, they had been warned along the way to avoid doing. They no more knew how Obama would perform, than they knew why real estate prices were collapsing.

He’s a total dumbass and this job is way above his pay grade

He’s been affirmative actioned several levels even after the Peter Principle kicked in.

He will not allow anyone around him ask the difficult questions (as if the slobbering media gaggle has any). Of course he’s not about to answer them.

Wasn’t Peggy Noonan singing 0bama’s praises well before the election?

As Beck says “We surround them” ... Obozos plan to overload the system with his constant spewing of crap has resulted in him becoming overloaded. And now not functional.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

Yep, Noonan was a swooner. Didn’t take her too long to get some clarity.

The author hit Obama with a wet noodle, and seemed to allow that Obama eventually could be terrific. Lame.

Noonan is a silly old drip.

I heard the funniest thing about her and chatty Katty Parker--that they were the "menopausal wing" of the RINOs.

...”intellectual brilliance”....

What a joke. I concur - Barack Obama is the first American Affirmative Action President. He has been brought along solely because of his skin tone and his apparent “African” features. In short, he is a fraud, a poser, who was foisted on America by a criminally complicit media that dissembled, lied, and fooled an unthinking 53% of voters.

“I won’t follow him anytime or anywhere!”

Barack Obama may be the POTUS, but he is NOT my POTUS.

“He has to lead, clearly and decisively, starting now.”

Get over it! The man is not a leader and never will be.

why are we even talking about it with deficits soaring?

That's what's frightening. Congress knows the people don't want it yet they keep trying to find a way in, any way to get "some healthcare reform" passed.

Why? We don't want it, we can't afford it, we don't trust any of them to pass it. The big question is, why can't they move on. Why do they have to have this by "any means". That's my big question anyway.

You can’t ask that....it makes you a “truther”. Or maybe a “birther”? In anycase being one is ok, if you work in the White House, but the other is bad.

NBC told me. But I don’t remember which is which.

The O man is a self absorbed narcissist and now that the people have realized what an empty suit he is he is going after our children who don’t know that he is a self absorbed narcissist.
