I'm Taking Bets........

......that sooner or later, he's gonna bust his ass running up and down the steps of Air Force One like he is a 16 year old at ball practice.  

 You know it's coming.  Arrogance bites, every time.

Well, I'm Glad You Cleared That Up For Us.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama wants you to know that he is not a golf addict. He spends so much time unwinding on the links because security restrictions mean he can't go out for long walks or go to the carwash or the grocery store. The president said he loves his life in the White House but doesn't enjoy some of the ways of Washington, such as the "kabuki dance" among political partisans before serious policy discussions begin. He also regrets his loss of personal privacy.
"I just miss - I miss being anonymous, I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk."
"I just want to go through Central Park (in New York) and watch folks passing by ... spend the day watching people. I miss that."
 The Columbus Dispatch

SNIP......

Mr. President, I'm sure most of the men who have held your high position in modern times have felt much as you do about the lack of privacy and public mobility. We do feel for you Sir, I hear it's lonely at the top.  But I know I speak for a lot of Americans when I say that we would be very forgiving of you if you were to just throw in the towel and decide not to run for re-election in order for you to have your private life back.

Look at it this way; you're now a infamous famous world figure, and one of only 44 men to achieve your status as elected leader of this delicate experiment we call America. You were awarded a Noble Peace Prize for.........well you got one. You have schools named after you, have dined with the elites of the world and even may someday have a navy tugboat or something named after you. And as far as your leadership, you have achieved things never done before, like spending more than all the other Presidents before you put together and taking political payback to new heights never dreamed. 

You have dazzled us with you teleprompter reading skills, and wowed us with your off-prompter comments and judicious use of  ..."uh".... that has become your trademark and we have all come to love. Of course, that uniting the country in bi-partisan  bliss, and ending wars and the world all loving us again and stuff, well it didn't work out so well. Seems no one noticed anyway. But, we know from all the whining fatherly talk, that the guys before you left everything in such an impossible mess. 

So, MR. President, I assure you, it's alright with most of us if you were to just grab the wookie first lady and the kids and mosey on back to Chicago, build yourself a library to showoff your achievement, play golf, squeeze the melons at the Pac-a- Sack and not shave on Saturdays like the rest of us private citizens.  

Really, Mr. President, you will be missed. But we'll get over it.

Great Moments in History #32

But Fool You Twice.........Shame on You.

Fact #1 - I History tells us it is extremely difficult to defeat a sitting president for a second term.  Extraordinary circumstances, such as strong third party candidates must be in play.

Fact #2 - History tells us at no time in this country’s history has a sitting President seemed so inept, out of focus, uneducated to the ways of governing , spent so fast the political capital and good will which comes with a new administration  and reversed so many campaign statements and promises used to dupe Americans to vote for him.  (I chose not to use “Lie” in favor of “Ignorance”).


Now that Obama has officially thrown his hat into the race (sorry -- can't say 'race' in re: Obama) I mean, into the competition, rumors swirl about a challenger.
"I would rather be a good one-term President then a bad two-term one....." Barack Obama 
For Obama to bow out and not run for re-election would be an admission of failure. And if there's one thing we know about this president, it's his failures   But in Obama’s world, everyone else fails, but never him. When Obama fails it's not because he advocated a bad idea, or chose the wrong policy or priority, it's because he didn't communicate his vision to the village idiots well enough; we're just too stupid to understand his unparalleled brilliance.

That's why the man spent the first 15 months of his Presidency pushing a Health Care law that couldn't even be explained, which is an assault upon American Liberties and Pocketbooks. He still hasn't figured out how to explain why, if this ObamaCare thing is such a wonderful policy, 1,000 waivers (granted on the grounds of political necessity, i.e. guarantee votes) have been issued.

That's why we were treated to three years of  George Bush did this,that and the other, except that Bush was (mostly) right, and when Obama adapted wholesale all the Bush policies on War and Terrorism, there was no admission of having been wrong to criticize them in the first place. There is PLENTY to criticize GWB about, but the War on Terror was not one of them, at least in theory.

I don't know exactly he's going to run on. I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find an actual achievement to brag about.

But there were all those great photo-ops….. Obama emerging from the surf……..Obama playing golf….. Obama receiving a Nobel Peace Prize for Being Black……… Obama visiting the few unsoiled parts of the Gulf Coast before continuing his interminable summer vacation and filing a lawsuit against BP. I guess those sorts of images will sway some voters, those who still believe that Obama would pay their bills and fill their gas tanks.  But where the rubber meets the road, the Great Candidate Slayer question "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" will be asked, and Obama will have no answer for it, and his machinations in appearing to be answering it will be an all too obvious dog and pony show.  

Is I stated in earlier post Warming Up the Clinton Smear Machine and Yep...I Still Think Pantsuit is Gonna Run, I believed Hillary Clinton might challenge Obama in the primaries. But Obama has made a bad situation at home and abroad even worst with his incompetence dealing with foreign governments and lack of attention to wishes of the American people, and Clinton may see nothing but a giant hole in which to fall. 

I am beginning to have some doubts about my prior predictions.

PBS to Try Capitalist Experiment.


New York - The Public Broadcasting System (PBS) will announce on Monday that it will launch a new, for-profit cable television network in 2012. A Public Broadcasting spokesperson said that the new venture, the  TNA Network, will be devoted to women's beach volleyball, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. "If this venture goes as planned, we will never, never, NEVER have to hold another lame-ass fund-raiser for public television in this nation again!"


I think they may be on to something here!
