He Never Had It.
The president came into office with exactly ZERO management or executive experience. He’s probably the first president in history with no management experience.
President Eisenhower had never served in elective office before becoming president, but, I think his service as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, and planning and executing the Normandy invasion, gave him some good executive experience.
So the president was elected to a job which is over his head. It’s above his pay grade. He doesn’t know how to be a leader or a manager. He likely doesn’t know how to delegate responsibility. He doesn’t know how to accept responsibility for things which go wrong. He can’t handle the fishbowl / pressure cooker environment of the White House.
Due to his liberal elitism, he can’t understand why people cling to guns and religion. He doesn’t understand “middle America”. He thinks that liberal/radical ideas are so obviously the solutions to our problems, that he can’t conceive of why so many in “middle America” are opposed to his ideas.
And then he’s totally confused as to why Porkulus didn’t stimulate the economy the way it was supposed to. He is caught flat footed by events out of his control, such as the Gulf oil spill. In that case, he didn’t know what to do or what was expected of him. And he doesn’t realize that criticism goes with the political territory. The higher the office you hold, the more political enemies will attack you. Because of his liberal elitism, he can’t comprehend why anyone would oppose what he tries to do. He says he adds Republican ideas to the healthcare bill, and is surprised that this doesn’t placate his political opponents.
I could go on and on with this. He just didn’t understand what he was getting himself into.
“The President is Losing It.”
He Never Had It.””
My sentiments exactly. The first time I heard BO speak, I thought, the guy is a transparent con-artist and he has no chance. Then I watched the old media tabloids, homowood, and the nightly demrat machine alphabet networks start his promotional commercial and I knew we were in trouble. The stupid will buy anything if it is packaged right.
