This was an “Al Haig” moment if there ever was one...

A small, cowardly man in way over his head, hiding behind an arrogant, lying sociopathic egomaniac.

Pretty much sums it up.

Many lawyers have already said that IF Hussein Obama really IS an ilegal alien, then he was never legally President, and so is thus EXEMPT from impeachment. Then process would no more apply to him, than to you or me. His lawyers would probably insist on an eviction process from the White House, and then throw roadblocks into the procedure. He then might be in there for another year, smoking cigars and sipping Crown Royal, while America burns. Meanwhile, Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, who questioned his bona fides is still court-martialed.

This is another example that Obama simply does not know what being President is, nor how to be President.

He and Michelle act more like people who won the lottery, or hit oil on their property, than a skilled political family taking on duties of the Presidency and the First Family. Clinton did the exact same thing, but Clinton at least knew how to play the role of Head of State.

Think about a few items. Obama brings in some unqualified, new-age "chef" to run the White House kitchen, with no thought or respect to the non-political, lifelong civil servants, including the White House Chief Chef, who serve in the White House. Clinton did similarly with the White House Travel Office, and one would think the "brilliant" Obama would not make the same mistake.

Obama bows to every Head of State he meets, apparently unaware he too, is a head of state, and therefore is an equal. This is how some tourist might act, not a sophisticated politician. The appointed chief of the White House Protocol Office was not filled for some time, and it is reasonable to assume Obama would not take advice from the lifelong civil servant permanent staffers of the office.

He does not know how to negotiate with other countries, as he and his administration have failed at every attempt. Compare to Reagan almost single handedly negotiating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty without giving up SDI.

The left complains about "the optics" of Obama. But Obama is clueless. If you bring a predecessor President in for a joint briefing, you ask them to give a prepared remark, then you take control of the press conference. All questions go through you, you broker the questions to others, you remain in charge. This was more like a press conference of a group of Senators, of equals. Sure, 100 people can be Senators at the same time, but we only have one President at a time.

Obama has never been in charge of anything prior to being elected President. The one thing he is good at is organizing supporters. That is where his community organizing skills paid off. He would be a great deputy campaign manager, in charge of organizing and fundraising. As a State Senator, he was mediocre. He was very junior in a state house where seniority was everything. Obama was simply a vote, and was so weak he used the "present" vote to avoid being tagged with supporting something political risky. No leadership. In the U.S. Senate it was the same story. Seniority is everything. Obama could not vote "present", so he simply skipped town when a tough vote came along. As a nuclear arms policy wonk, he was Luger's useful idiot Democrat, an a across the aisle rubber-stamp cosponsor.

From Obama, there is no humility or respect for the little people who make the wheels of Washington work. We thought Clinton's arrogance and narcissism was the greatest ever to inhabit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But first, Clinton had been a governor, so he had some experience. Second, Clinton was so concerned with how he looked, how history would treat him, he was not about to make gaffes.

Obama is the Peter Principle taken to its ultimate conclusion. Relatively intelligent, clearly introverted, but a totally mediocre politician, whose maximum ability is probably a deputy to a cabinet level position, who somehow ends up as POTUS. Obama could probably do a good job as the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. But as President, he is a disaster.

Without a doubt, this is retaliation for Wikileaks.

I would add, Gibbs did not give Clinton the hook. This suggests Gibbs is equally as clueless as Obama as to how bad this made Obama look. Gibbs thought Clinton hit a home-run pinch hitting for Obama.

Obama is an amateur, but he also filled his staff with amateurs. It is like Boys Nation visited the White House on a field trip, found it empty, and took over.

Is the podium in the way? Can you tell if he's wearing pants?

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

The specific question that caused Obama to exit stage left was regarding what he and Clinton discussed.... Obama didn’t know how to answer the basic question about the economy which the reporter was alluding to so he ran out of the room. Obama is in over his head and he leaves all meetings/press conferences when the questions become specific. If Obama hasn’t been given the question and answer ahead of time, in order to memorize the answer, he quickly leaves the meeting. FACT

Reporter: What was your advice to president Obama today about how to deal with the Congress in the opposition party?

Clinton: I have a general rule which is that whatever he asks me about my advice, and whatever I say should become public only if he decides to make it public. He can say whatever he wants, but we....

Obama: Here’s what I’ll say, I’m keeping the first lady waiting, for about half an hour, so I’m gonna take off.

Right there shows Obama was squirming and was unable to answer the reporter’s question about his meeting with Bill Clinton. Obama is not intelligent. He can memorize lines and he’s more of an actor. Which is why he prefers the tele-prompter. He doesn’t remember nor does he understand what Clinton said in their meeting and decided to exit stage left to avoid any specific question. Obama likes to schoomz and is superficial in his interactions with others. He couldn’t tell the reporter what he and Clinton discussed because he didn’t understand what Clinton was saying.

I really believe this incident will have historical impact, and I want to post on this thread for that reason.

(Now if only Al Haig were alive.)

Holy CR@P. Who’s running the country? Zero and his ineptitude has just put a bulls-eye/target on us. If we manage to survive the full term of this clown without being attacked, I will be surprised.

Clinton at that podium is bad deja vu.

In all the misery inflicted by the Obama administration, my one teeny, weeny, tiny, small, sad speck of consolation was the thought that perhaps Zero had effectively neutralized the Clintoons.

Sigh. They're baaaaaaack!
