Mr. President, It's 3AM!

During the 2008 presidential campaign, then-candidate Hilary Clinton ridiculed Barack Obama's inexperience with the famous ad asking who you wanted to answer the phone during a crisis at 3AM.

Today, it is apparent that our nation desperately needs someone with experience, decisiveness, and leadership to navigate these troubled economic waters.

....

Blame at 3AM is not the issue. The issue in time of crisis is the response and only the response.

Thus far, our nation's response has been to increase the debt ceiling and provide a tepid response to critical spending issues.

It's now 3AM and the world is wondering who is going to answer the phone.

...

Temporary fixes and blaming S&P are pure nonsense. The blame game must stop and decisive action must be taken.

The cure to fiscal irresponsibility is incredibly simple but it is equally incredibly tough.

...

He has abdicated his power but is not yet aware of what he has happened to his presidency and our Nation.

...

In reality, the president has but two choices. Either answer the phone or resign!

It's not 3 AM as far as Obama is concerned.

It's vacation time! Off to Martha's Vineyard to PARTY!!

[Doogle]

he’ll do what he has always done...CALL IT IN!

[Starstruck]

Hiding under his bed

“In reality, the president has but two choices. Either answer the phone or resign!”

... he is going to Martha Vineyards to think on it

Spot on Jimmy

The markets, realizing he has nothing to offer, continue their swoon.

 There once was an unknown man
 with a new Marxist plan
 I'll distribute your wealth
 and give you free health
 But the debt soon hit the fan

Obama owns the credit downgrade, no matter how much finger-pointing he tries to do. It's his shovel-ready mess becuse he's addicted to spending. Wise money has been running like rats from a sinking ship from Obama's first day. Every day he brings more damage to the country.

  No integrity, no experience and no solutions. It's Obama's economy now, lock, stock and Obamanation barrel.

It’s now 3AM and the world is wondering who is going to answer the phone.

Zero’s alarms been off for almost 3 years.

[Flintlock]

Good grief!
People, we actually have a focused, decisive leader in the White House.
Our problem is what he’s focused ON.

HE’S JUST NOT ON AMERICA’S SIDE—IS ALL.
The enemy is in charge. He’s wrecking the place. It’s what he DOES.

[OwenKellogg]

He pressed the “snooze” button.

[Common Sense 101]

He pressed the “snooze” button.

His whole worthless life.

Barack Obama is Exhibit A that explains why so many U.S. cities that once had black mayors do not have them now — and may never have them again. Names like David Dinkins, Tom Bradley, Coleman Young, Andrew Young, and Wilson Goode will be remembered as quaint relics of American history during those few decades before Hispanics became the dominant minority group in the U.S.

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

Don’t forget Marion Barry...

[Alberta's Child]

Right. Harold Washington is another one I overlooked . . . may end up being the first and last black mayor the city of Chicago ever had.

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

Ahh yes....Mr “Beirut on the Lake” himself

[so_real]

It is 3:00am! Obama should be on the phone getting Congress back in their seats to cut a trillion from spending in order to stabilize the markets and start fixing the economy. But no ... he's too darn busy packing for his upcoming vacation to Martha's Vineyard to be bothered with the telephone. He has got to be *the most* vacationed president in our history, and not worth a plug-nickel. He wouldn't last 90 days working for me.

I had to laugh at that Hillary ad. I was every bit as concerned about her qualifications as his. A small town ambulance chaser turned First Lady turned undistinguished back-bench carpetbagging Senator barely into her second term, and she dares to question the experience of one of her rivals? Laughable.

Mr. President, It's 3AM!

The only thing that would wake Barry up at 3AM is a nightmare about having a really bad day on the golf course.
