I read it was because Winston tortured Barry’s Kenyan Mau Mau grandfather. At least Barry is loyal to his native land!

Oooh, I hadn't heard that one. Obama does seem to have a visceral dislike of Churchill, though, whatever the reason.

He voted present 119 times in the Senate. He’s got a track record of mailing it in.

Won't happen. Why do you think his staff is spending so much time lugging around teleprompters? He even uses them to answer questions from the press.

What if those teleprompters malfunctions? They better keep Biden away from those plugs.

This is happening even more quickly than I expected.

I fully agree with you. I am just voicing what I learned when I first took on higher level executive tasks. He obviously lacks experience and capacity. In my estimation, he hasn’t even passed through the supervisor or managerial precursor steps to being able to handle higher executive tasks. This is a very painful metamorphasis for him and the country.

Perhaps voters will begin to recognize why Sarah Palin was fully more prepared than the lost of them for an Executive role.

Unfortunately, if Obama could not continue or resigned (don’t laugh, anything is possible), we would get Biden. Then if Biden could not function, it would be Pelosi I think. So it could actually get worse.

By the way, how long will it take Obama to start dressing like Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro? :)-

Aaah poor little baby..

He's not up to the job. He can't party with his buds late into the night and deal with the business on his desk; he hasn't got the depth of knowledge needed to do the job, even marginally competently. He's an arrogant punk, and we are so very screwed.

Bush was berated, demeaned, belittled, and fought at every turn, but I never heard him say he was tired.

Obama is the "Peter principle" taken to the extreme and America must pay the price.

No doubt...Somebody once said that anybody could be elected president in America-- and that is, of course, the problem. President Zero is, as so many have already pointed out, the product of corrupt Chicago politics- sorry for the oxymoron. His victories over opponents that have been routinely stoned to death, by the Leftist mainstream media etc., have not prepared him for the business of now catching the political rocks that invariably are chucked at sitting presidents. His opponents have just begun to wind his stem.

Speaking only for myself, there will be no consolation if- and very probably when- he folds. The desperate hours in American history have always followed weak presidents overmatched by difficult times. Zero gives the impression of a guy who is at his best only when times are good. And you are correct, America must once again pay the price for invoking the lunacy of democracy. I watch and wait.

obama is president in name only. /jmo

A very lame excuse put out by anonymous for being rude to Brown.

obama not focused on foreign affairs? From the inner circle?

Why?

What? How could he not be able to handle the job, given the vast amount of previous experience he brought to the table. Like his brilliant managing of... um, his campaign? And his ability to keep funds working when he.... um, ran for president? Or how he was able to get people to line up behind him with a promise to get the job done when he single-handedly... ah... ran for president?

His campaign actually said this at one point during the primaries: his qualification to be president was that he was running for president. And if that mind-numbing circular logic raised some eyebrows, they trotted out the idea that he was qualified to be president simply because he was winning. None of which actually speaks to quality.

The only person who would have, possibly, made a worse president than Obama is John Edwards. I couldn’t stand 10 seconds, much less 10 minutes, of hearing that preening phony giving a press conference.

The lines of authority will be clearer with Joe. Just lobby his kids if you want something don3


LOL-—that creature nepotism is alive and well - one thing about these career politicians is that they will find a way to avoid the rules or create new ones in order to take care of their own-—but the rest of us should abort ours.
