Once Again, America Disappoints Its President
Human Events ^ | October 26, 2011 | John Hayward

Posted on 10/27/2011 8:12:14 AM PDT by opentalk

Hang your head in shame, America, for you have once again failed to meet the expectations of President Obama.

Attending one of his incessant fundraisers in San Francisco yesterday, the President who led America into stagnancy and downgrade expressed his sorrow at how Americans have “lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge.”

Can you imagine what kind of paperwork snarls, environmental impact studies, and ruinous union demands would befall a project on the scale of the Golden Gate Bridge in modern California?

Barack Obama is wrong about a great many things, but this is the thing he’s most comprehensively and dangerously wrong about. America hasn’t “lost” its ambition and imagination. It suffers under plans devised by central planners who lack imagination, and it’s been sternly informed by the Obama Administration that its ambitions are reprehensible.

The article was a little flat when considering what a gold mine 0’s speech is, full of talking points imho. This line is great though:
“If his program hasn’t been running properly so far, there are only two possible bugs: either the State needs to be bigger, or the people need to be better.”

Obama is, as always, insulting.

One needs to merely spend a bit of time in the legal, regulatory and tax departments of any large American company to realize just how expensive it is to do pretty much anything in the US, business wise. And I’m not even touching on the environmental impact crap.

I suppose it is all part of a “full employment” act. After all, SOX is called the “full IT employment act”.

I remember a documentary on the rise of Budweiser. They grew a huge business at a time when there was no income tax. Imaging starting a business and spending 100% of your resources developing, producing, marketing and delivering a product! Imagine how much cheaper it would be than it is today, thanks to all of the peripheral activities companies are required to perform just to do business.

The monster needs to die.

And it is doing so of its own weight. It truly is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

I AM ashamed, but it's BECAUSE of Obama.

In hindsight, I suppose one of the redeeming things about Jimmy Carter is that he only gave the malaise speech ONCE!!!

RE :”Hang your head in shame, America, for you have once again failed to meet the expectations of President Obama.
Attending one of his incessant fundraisers in San Francisco yesterday, the President who led America into stagnancy and downgrade expressed his sorrow at how Americans have “lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge.

As I showed yesterday Maddow has been running two short mini-commercials with this same message for months, but she puts the positive spin on it of :
I know we are better than that”.

Roosevelt/Hoover didnt have ‘Living Wage’ and many other Laws to deal with when building massive structures. Projects like these have been made 100X more expensive due to liberal type policies many expanded by the 'Disappointed one' himself.

Imagine Cain debating Obama with material like the above statement. If Obama was more careful he would have used the more positive Maddow version of this :”We are better than that

America is sick and depressed having a depressing pathetic clown who inspires nobody as president. A man who hates all that is great about this country.

Once he is gone it will be like the celebration in Munchkinland when the house fell on the wicked witch.

Isn't it amazing this narcissistic clown can't see he is the problem?

It’s sad so many can not see the clown for what he is.

I think he truly hates capitalism and America. All of his accomplishments seem to be with affirmative action or some type of corruption.

He is also intentionally whipping up the Unpatriotic, Anti-American crowd.

Herman Cain is the opposite of Obama. A man with character and proud of his country.
