Lets just stick to skills. Lets not talk about how bad his policies are.
Because I cant think of a person who is less suited and less interested in being president of the United States than Barack Obama is.
Im reminded of this as I see Europe drift from debt to crisis to dissolution.
Events in Greece over the past 24 hours have underscored the importance of implementing the plan, fully and as quickly as possible, said the US president according to Euronews.
I didnt understand that there was a real plan for the Greek debt crisis. If there is one, certainly Obama has nothing to do with it.
People like to pretend at times that who our president is doesnt matter. They say presidents get either too much blame or too much credit. Cant say much about the credit part, but its not possible to blame Obama enough for the poor state of the United States and the lack of leadership and confidence the United States engenders around the world today.
In our economy, our relations with other powers, our reputation around the globe, weve become a laughingstock under Obama. Hope and Change has become a hackneyed punch line of lost chances, hopes destroyed and dreams knowingly betrayed by golf vacations.
Obama has offered us nothing but our blood, our toil, our tears and our sweat; and for what?
So public employees can continue to bust public budgets on Cadillac benefits that you and I cant afford. All this while he pushes austerity down the throats of a sovereign Greece.
Im tired of Obamas leading from behind. Thats not leading, thats pushing
Dont think for one minute that Obama would accept for his union friends the type of cuts he says he favors for Greece.
Weve gone from each according to his means to each according to his union. Weve gone from a post-partisan, post-racial America, to all partisan, all the time.
The president of the United States once, not long ago, stood up to Communism when they tried to take over South Korea- in this, he was sustained by the whole world. Today were left with the president being lectured to by Chinese Communists regarding reckless spending; and after being lectured to by Chinese Communists, in return, all Obama can offer to Europe is lectures about their own profligate ways.
Its inconceivable that a Reagan or a Kennedy would let things drift with a world in crisis. A Reagan or a Kennedy would have acted, if only in a moral sense. Both George Bushes had enough sense for that.
"I am confident that Europe has the capacity to meet this challenge. I know it isn't easy, but what is absolutely critical, and what the world looks for in moments such as this, is action," said Obama after a G20 meeting on Europes debt crisis, according to the Wall Street Journal.
But dont look for action from Obama. If he could attack Greece with a covert drone missile strike, hed probably do so in order to avoid having to exercise real leadership.
Hes been the "drone" president on fiscal issues here in the US too, having dinner with his family and getting a hair cut while his aides bickered about bailouts.
There was a day when the US could help exercise some leadership on the European stage. But if Obamas interested in the European debt issue, then thats news to me, German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Sarkozy, members of the G20, fans of All My Children or anyone with electricity.
Obama has become the absentee landlord of the world, not presiding over the budget; abstaining from the debt ceiling; absent from Europe during the debt crisis; issuing a bull against a tsunami as enjoyed his own National Lampoons Brazilian Vacation.
If I were Greek, Id be worried about the missile strike.
I stand firm that technically while Obama may be signing documents in the Oval Office and sleeping in the Whitehouse legally for all the right reasons he failed to qualify thus his place in history as POTUS can be challenged, as it will be eventually.

To pick a better President, just close your eyes, open a Manhattan (or Queens) phone directory and run you finger down the page and stop - now open your eyes. I guarantee this person will make a better President than Barack Hussein Soetero Obama.
Of course he’s be powerless, because the New World Order Communist machine wouldn’t be backing him or her.

I agree with you and Obuggery will eventually become an asterik “*”.
We still don’t know who this guy is...college grades and thesis under seal...passport records too. Birth cerificate still in question, and will be until the original copy is produced. Social security number issued in Connecticut in ‘77, a state he’d never been to.
Some funny funding/loans for his home in Chicago. Tony Rezko’s fingerprints all over the transaction.
So our media covers twelve year old maybe sex charges against Cain.
What a joke.
A title like that should provide more evidence and commentary.
My guess is that history will hold Obama in contempt for several things, one being U.S. policy that allowed the Iranian revolution to be crushed.
No matter how many times I see a heading describing Obama as either bad, inept, idiotic or even deranged I have to mentally correct the description.
Obama failed to qualify, he isn’t and never will be POTUS as far as I am concerned, he is a squatter.
F U B O
Hate to mention this BUT I KNEW IT IN 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m with kjo, but all I get is this helpless feeling,...like I know a secret and no one wants to hear it! What a depressing time for Conservatives.
Can you imagine how history would have differed without Carter and Obama?
the leadership vacuum created by the “Dictatorship of Relativism” cannot be filled with raw power, though that won’t keep them from trying.
My latest feverish ravings about this president is that we are living through a quiet revolution a la Pol Pot in Cambodia after the Viet Nam years.
Think about it. The middle class in America is dying slowly in place as if we were pushed out of our homes into the fields. The academics, who have no souls, are in charge with their economic justice redistribution theories just like those fools that destroyed Cambodia.
How did it work out then? We are so screwed.
Hey! William F. Buckley said, "Despair is a mortal sin."
And there's a good reason for that -- despair never begot victory.
