Unemployment remains mired at nearly ten percent. Taxes are set to go up on everybody on January 1. And what’s the President working on? I mean, other than his golf game? This:
During the G-20 meeting last week, Obama told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev—with whom he co-signed the treaty in April—that getting New START ratified would be his top priority during the lame duck session.
Obama’s “top priority” right now is a treaty described as “benign” at best. Yes, we have lots of room to cut our nuclear arsenal (and even more room to modernize it), but right now, nobody cares.
The President was going to “pivot” back the economy in December — last December, 2009. Then he was going to “pivot” back the economy once he got Obamacare rammed through. Then he was going to “pivot” back the economy once the election was over. Now, his party and his policies received a stinging rebuke from the House down to the governor’s mansions and especially in the state assemblies — and he still won’t get his priorities in line with what the American people want and expect.
I think we’ve gone past tone-deafness and are well into recalcitrance.
in all fairness, this isn’t the only thing that the feds are working on. they have found time to take the caffeine out of alcoholic beverages. “they can have my irish coffee when they pry it from my cold dead hands…” or something. there goes rum and coke, cuba libre and who knows what else.
“I won.”
Is the, “he doesn’t get it,” or, “he only cares about what he cares about?” What I am seeing is that they only concern he has is to pass what he feels is important. Now, this maybe not getting it, but I think it’s a sign of him not caring about any thing other than his agenda. His not getting it is more along the lines of, “he doesn’t have a clue.” The only thing of importance is the progressive liberal agenda and his ego. Remember, it’s all about him (and sucking up to the countries activley working against US interests and safety), which just reinforces my opinion that he really does hate the America.
You know, I am beginning to think, if accurate, that when he had trouble fitting in at over seas schools, partly possibly because he had no personal identity, he was eager to fit in. I wonder what lengths he went to to fit in. This may eve partially explain his narcisism. It was always about him. At any rate, I wonder if he is still trying to fit in, and be accepted over seas and he still hasn’t figured out how to deal with bullies. He still tries to buy them off, make them feel good, or suck up to them.
The man is amazing. Have we ever had a president who can juggle 10 and sometimes 15 “Top Priorities” all at the same time???
Here’s a partial list of his “Top Priorities”:
Bank Bailout.
Muslim outreach (in Cairo).
Insurance Bailout.
Muslim outreach (in general).
Auto Bailout.
Muslim outreach (by appointing Jihadi to top DHS post: Arif Alikhan)
Stop Iran’s nuclear bomb through gentle diplomacy!
Muslim outreach (by sending Ahmadinijad a Happy Birthday! card…)
Jobs. (LOL)
Muslim outreach (in the form of having civilian trials for terrorists for “fairness”).
Muslim outreach (by appointing an Islamophile and “Arabist” John Brennan as top intelligence guy)
Obamacare (while saying his top priority was JOBS).
Obamacare (while saying his top priority was the ECONOMY).
Obamacare (while saying his top priority was OBAMACARE).
Union Pension Rescue (TARP2 or TARP3 — I cannot remember now…)
Muslim outreach (while bowing to the Saudi King).
Muslim outreach (in the form of “shoutouts” right after the Fort Hood massacre).
Muslim outreach (in the form of lauding Muslim accomplishments to the rafters…)
Muslim outreach (in the form of sanitizing all words like “Islam” and “Jihad” from all discussions)
NASA (in the form of Muslim outreach to make Muslims feel good about their space contributions)
START Treaty with Russia.
Golf.
Fancy trips out with Moochelle.
Obama is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
My mother-in-law once, while talking on the phone with my wife, commented on a thunderous rampage of some of her cats (I won’t say how many she has) by pretending to holler, “We’ll all be killed!”
When I think of Obama actually trying to do something about the economy, I think of that comment by my mother-in-law. Except in my head it doesn’t sound funny at all.
Bread and Circuses, baby! Give ‘em victories and they’ll love ya!
At least that’s the theory.
Asking President Obama to work on the economy? What are you, an orphan in a Dickens novel?
