Obama, a smart guy who is thinking way too much to be President.

C-Span, CNN, FOX News, and even MSNBC are all begining to openly ask, can the President turn his rhetorical skills and smooth style into action? An excellent question, and we’ll see. Can he, is he, should he, would he , could he, wait that sounds a little like Doctor Seuss.  The pundits are jabbering on and on about this or that, half saying he is doing too little, while the other half screaming he is doing too much. Obama this, Obama that, Obama should, Obama can’t. He must do this, he must do that, Obama must pull a cat out of his hat!  After eight years of the train that is America going off the track having a steady hand at the wheel appears too great a change for most.

The left is calling for reactionary measures, pass this, pass that, prosecute him, prosecute her, we need this, we need that come on Obama where’s our cat? The right is screaming as loud as they can, he’s is the devil more than a man, he is wrecking our country and destroying our land, get him out as fast as we can!

We have added men to Afghanistan and began our withdrawl from Iraq, we have brought the economy back from the brink when the last President allowed it to sink. We are after all a nation of many not just one man. The President has a lot on his plate so much so he even stays up late. Pressing for answers and searching for clues we have a President who wants to know what to do, for many who demand immediate action his style is so foreign, after all where was he born? The last man we had in that office ran around calling for action, Iraq was the reaction. “There are no good targets in Afghanistan sir, but I have a list of beauty’s right here”, “Iraq Rummy are you sure”, asked the President. Then without another thought off we went and trillions spent. Bombing and shooting and then invading a little country to kick the crap out of one man of course we have to kill Saddam, he has weapons of mass destruction, Saddam kills his own people, Saddam eats babies for breakfast, Saddam this, Saddam that, Saddam could pull a nuke out of a hat.  Bullshit.

Of course anyone who knew this was not true got branded as a traitor or unpatriotic by a group of pundits who were at best idiotic. So before we go and make huge mistakes give the man a moment to see what it takes. He is slow and methodical, rather more like a tortoise than a hare. Those who scream and howl really don’t care, they demand action be taken right or wrong “we must act now, no time for discussion or debate, more men for Afghanistan before it’s too late!”  While the right screams for more troops, the left are clambering for action on healthcare,” free insurance for all deficit be damned we need healthcare for all throughout the land.”  The crowds are screaming, surge for Healthcare, surge for Afghanistan, surge here and surge there surges everywhere. So after 8 years of Republicans pulling resources out of Afghanistan to divert to Iraq, now they are screaming attack, attack!    Oh, now you what to complain after letting the Taliban refit and recruit new fighters when we could have crushed them in 2002. Where were you then?

So lets summarize this, the last President tripled the National Debt, got us into a war of choice in Iraq in response to an attack he was warned of in advance and did nothing about. He hired a horse show judge to rebuild New Orleans and gave away billions to friends. He had the Federal Reserve hold down rates, which created the housing bubble. He exposed covert CIA agents for political gain and ran secret torture programs without refrain. When exposed he shreaded the orders, destroyed the tapes, and prosecuted privates and sergeants from Ohio while pardoning his minions in advance. He gave away billions to the banks and got library donations as thanks. He tried to depose Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and failed, twice, and you want to complain that Obama has done nothing, I say thank you, because if this is the kind of action you want you are an idiot. PS: Did I mention Osama bin Laden yet? Oh, the bluster of it all, dead or alive, we are going to smoke em out, and the rest of his bullshit. Bring it on, that was classic Presidential material, and of course landing on an Aircraft carrier with the Mission Accomplished Banner in 2004, that mission accomplished was Iraq, where we still have in excess of 120,000 troops and 75,000 private contractors, err mercenaries. So do you want the hare or the tortoise in charge, me I’ll stick with the tortoise and slowly but surely things will improve after all they can’t get any worse or can they?
