May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

This Country Needs a Man to Lead

Going back to February of Obama’s first year, I lamented he had already taken to blaming the previous administration for the troubles the country was experiencing. I noted a leader never ever blames his predecessor for anything, or even brings up the previous holder of a position at all. It shows immaturity and weakness. This is especially so when taking over an elected office. Presumably, one campaigned on the ineffectiveness of one’s opponent, and could do a better job.

More than two years into his administration, Obama is still blaming his predecessor. When his political opposition presents a serious budget to begin reducing the debt, he insults the main writer, Paul Ryan, who has spent years mastering and producing this massive piece of legislation. He jumps on the demonizing of the opposition political party, calling them names, and repeating the standard old saw about starving the working class to feed the rich.

He talked in public during the Gulf oil spill last year about wanting an investigation to know “whose ass to kick”. Really and truly? We want the President of the United States to talk like this?

He insulted the Justices of the Supreme Court, lied about a ruling they had made, during a State of the Union speech. It’s just not done.

When he called Republican negotiators to the White House during the ObamaCare debates, one of the Republicans actually brought the proposed bill, and Obama called it a prop. When he was challenged on an issue, he told the challenger, “we won”.  

Going back to his election, Senator McCain had the grace to congratulate Obama on his nomination. When McCain won his party’s nomination he didn’t return the favor. That night he went Bill O’Reilly’s show, upstaging McCain’s win. Lack of grace.

This guy just doesn’t have the “gravitas” that the Left often thinks Republican or Conservative candidates or office holder’s lack, and this is just flat out ignored or denied. Yet during the Gulf oil spill he went on vacation and no action was taken for months. Went to war in Libya without congressional approval, and took a trip to South America.

He supported union thugs and bussed people in to Wisconsin to disrupt the work of elected officials there. This past week there were TEA Party rallies all over the country, and there of dozens of vids of Leftist thugs, supported by Obama, physically intimidating attendees and shouting down speakers. He has never spoken against this kind of behavior.

A few days ago when a tornado swept through the south causing $millions in damage and killing 45 people, Obama went and played his 64th round of golf.

Most of his speeches he gives at colleges and universities. Can’t take an adult crowd?

I had not thought the Presidency could be demeaned as much as white trash Clinton, but this guy has done it. His lack of gravitas, care about the people of this country, not taking care of business to go vacation and play, his constantly insulting his opposition instead of putting forth working policies, all speak of a man child, just not grown up enough, and not smart enough for the job.  A whiner and a crybaby. Not what we want in the Oval Office.
