Where Is Candidate Obama?!?
Posted by Raven on February 9th, 2009
Liberals (and others) everywhere are starting to question whether Barry is teh MAN they elected. Reality bites…
A lot of people are wondering…JUST WHO IS OBAMA?? I think Barry wonders himself, as he lovingly gazes at his reflection.
Headline:
“Where’s The Obama We Elected?”
It’s not easy to waste a mandate and a honeymoon at the same time, but President Obama seems determined to try. You know he’s off to a lousy start when his most favorable reviews came after he said, “I screwed up.”
[...]
It’s very early, but it’s worrisome that Obama has stumbled almost since he took the oath. His inauguration speech was uninspired and next to nothing has gone right for him. Already he looks like he needs a vacation.The historic young President with the political wind at his back has quickly turned testy toward those who disagree with him. Despite promises to the contrary, he’s been so rigid that the defeated Republicans are relevant again.
OUCH.
Headline:
“Why Obama Can’t Sell His Stimulus”
PRESIDENT OBAMA should get that dog soon. Already, he needs a friend in Washington.
His transition team let him down. So did fellow Democrats who control Congress.
The string of Cabinet nominees with tax problems showcased a lack of proper vetting and an overabundance of arrogance. Either way, it produced a team whose key players are limping rather than leaping onto the field. Some prospective teammates never made it out of the locker room.
[...]
The president has yet to sell the stimulus package as the best answer to the country’s economic woes. That’s partly because last year’s stimulus package did nothing to stop the slide, let alone turn it around; and partly because his own party hijacked it.
More DAMN ouches.
Headline:
“Obama Must Get Ahead of Mounting Public Anger”
The new president who vowed to change Washington’s culture will have to fight much harder to keep from being co-opted by it instead. There are simply too many major players in the Obama team who are either alumni of the financial bubble’s insiders’ club or of the somnambulant governmental establishment that presided over the catastrophe.
Headline:
“Obama Isn’t Who I Didn’t Think He Was. But He Might Be.”
Recently, I’ve been forced to deal with my own rank hypocrisy concerning the Obama administration. I find myself flying off the handle in all directions, attacking the new team in Washington one minute and defending it the next, praising its critics and then assaulting them for being unreasonable and expecting too much, too soon. The end result is that I’m far more confused about the future of Barack Obama’s presidency than I was with Bush’s.
WAAA. Stop your bitching people. You got what you asked for. Elections have consequences. Obama is….who he is: An inexperienced suit who speaks well but who offers no real substance. We grown ups tried to tell you kids this…but you didn’t listen. So now—deal with it. Man up and act your ages. Hopefully you will all learn from your mistake. Being liberal though, you probably won’t. Ah well…life is good.
