President Gaffe's Bigger Problems

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Where is your plan to halt the job losses in nearly a dozen states that are hovering near 10% unemployment (more than double the national average of Bush's entire two terms?)

Where is your plan to create the opportunity for risk takers to create new business or generate new companies that can hire people and put them to work?

Sure your NCAA picks were horrible, and most of the nation thinks that a university basketball coach at Duke is more qualified for your job than you ever will be for his, but how will you convince "We the People" otherwise?

One of your closest advisors and longest supporters, Warren Buffet, recently stated in an interview that your priorities should be as numbered: 1.The Economy, 2.The Economy, 3.The Economy. Notice the trend?

You could resign but then you place the rudder of the free world into the hands of a man who is arguably more arrogant than you, far more prone to hubris, and far too dimwitted to know the difference.

Your dishonest policies on the science of stem cells, your greatest export to date to other countries: access to abortion, and your insistence on hidden taxes on every American (cap and trade) are not helping America's confidence in you either.

You do not rule a center-left nation Mr. President, and that's why you're feeling the pain and discomfort at present. In fact you don't "rule" anything at all. We the American people have lent you the authority and the responsibility of administrating our nation's concerns for a brief period of time. We rule you. You work for us.

In order to improve the situation one of two things must change.

You must move center right, or be prepared to lose in 2012 by a margin larger than your win in 2008.

There are more of us than there are of you. So I'd take the hint, and the sooner the better.

The challenges you face are grim ones. That is why I pray for you daily. It probably wouldn't hurt for you to return to the practice of seeking God yourself. I have a feeling that your absence at church since the election might be clouding your clarity, even on simple matters.

Your win, Mr. President, was a symbol of something significant in American history. You are blessed with the power and position to bring about great things. Use your influence to do that.

So that then, as a person whose race had previously been oppressed, you might be an agent to lift others up, starting with those who have far less than you, but that can bowl a 300 to your improved 129.

HAHA
Yeah, I just heard about the Chiraq gaffe.

You can't make this stuff up. The Obama Administration would be great if it was a Comedy Show.

I notice the number of O'bots seem to be dropping on here, but the ones who remain are much more shrill. I was seeing actual arguments for a while, now I just see "This columnist is stupid" and "Conservatives are Nazis."

MSM still love him
60 Minutes Steve Kroft Knows they are short handed at treasury but doesn't ask if the priorities aren't more than a little off. Since the president wants to change the culture he might have gone to the California legislature rather than Leno to ask how they manage to not pass a budget on time.

Kroft fails to ask whether it wasn't a missed opportunity not to show straight away what he means by budgetary responsibility when he signed the His first attempt at a budget.

What legislation has his administration introduced that will change the culture of corruption. The culture that allowed Franks and Waters to lower mortgage restrictions on Freddie and Fannie (as though they did not know the banking collapse was coming).

Refer to legislation passed from 81 - 2000 allowing companies to create the mortgages, bundling which Congress says they didn't know was happening. No treasury officials from or to CITI, Merril or companies which created the derivitives.
