Obama Talks Much, Does Little As He Looks Toward 2012


The White House is still a busy place, but priorities and attention are increasingly being sucked away to Chicago, home of President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.

Congressional negotiations on budget disagreements are adrift, Libya’s anti-American dictator is brutally retaking control of the country, organized Islamists are using the democratic openings in Arab countries to push their way towards power, gas-price increases are draining dollars from the stalled American economy, and nervous American employers are trying to avoid hiring expensive U.S. workers.

The administration’s public response to these downwards trends is to woo swing-voters with low-risk promises of negotiations with budget-cutting Republicans, showdowns with pollution-producing energy companies and the prospect of budget-crisis morality plays pitting Obama as the middle-class champion fighting the Republican dragon. Simultaneously, and largely off the established media’s radar screen, Obama’s campaign is using the federal agencies to deliver promised benefits to constituency groups.

Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius it is very sad our country is being run by an idiot. Obama should be impeached for the damage he has already done to the country

He (obama) was NEVER ready or qualified to be the leader of the most powerful economic, political, and military country the world has ever seen. He has buffoonishly spent us into third world debtor staus and is floundering as problems overwhelm his capacity to address them. His inexperience and incompetence is being exposed daily. What to do about the Middle East? Japan? Unemployment? Afghanistan? He is very good at speeches. Actually SOLVING problems? He'd rather be president of China and go golfing. If he gets another term, then the stupidity of the American voter will be confirmed beyond doubt.

Read the man's books. He is just living out his father's dreams. He intends to take this country out of the picture. And he is doing a good job of that. Before he is out of office the dollar will not be the world standard, there is already talk among the nations right now. He knows what he is doing.

He is a politician and you know what they are good at --feeding us BS. He is definitely not a leader.

Lmao. Bet some of you voted for him. Mulligan? Anyone who voted for Obama should be placed on voting probation for a couple years to allow them to sober up.
