There is a cliché in Washington. There are two things you do not want to see made: sausage and laws. To those we may add a third: Barack Obama’s decisions.
Ron Suskind’s book Confidence Men portrays Barack Obama as being confounded by his duties as president. Some of the scenes depicted by Suskind would be comical if they were not so tragic for America. For example, when Obama’s experts assembled to discuss the scope and intricacies of the stimulus bill, Barack Obama was out of his depth. He was “surprisingly aloof in the conversation” and seemed “disconnected and less in control.” His contributions were rare and consisted of blurting out such gems of wisdom as “There needs to be more inspiration here!” and “What about more smart grids” and — one more that Newt Gingrich would appreciate — “we need more moon shot”.
Even “Pelosi and her staff visibly rolled their eyes.”
Suskind writes:
Members of the team were perplexed…for the first time in the transition, people started to wonder just how prepared the man at the helm was.

tragicomic
and yet, it seems nearly inevitable at this point that he will be re-elected. It’s a pure tragedy.
[Quote]This is pure speculation, but the reason why he never released his transcripts was probably because they would have revealed that he took easy left-wing courses that would have reflected poorly on his work ethic. [/quote]
WTF… it is the MSM that need to get those transcripts and/or the names of the Lawyers & Judges blocking the “RIGHT TO KNOW”. If the MSM is missing they have no right to exist
For a president to say that there are 57 states and one more to visit and nothing is made of it, anything Obama does or says is nothing; he in fact, was over to the wh in a silver platter.
The tragedy is that somehow he got propelled to the top.
I mean the man has a BS resume that usually consigns people to, if they VERY lucky, some kind of figure-head management where his Admin Assistant and a cabal of other management actually run the org. I.e. He’s the inoffensive chap who slipped up the middle because the REAL powers realized they couldn’t allow any of themselves take power over the others.
I have no words that can possibly describe his incompetence.
Clothes. Emperor. No.
You know the drill.
ET called this right from the start. Obama is a malignant narcissist. Remember the interview with his editor of the Harvard Review who said Obama did nothing on the Review just dropped in occasionally while she did all the work. For the first time in history the President of the Harvard Review was not asked to work for a senior justice as he didn’t have the ability or work ethic.
Hey Man!
“He was just smoking some good shit”
This was evident in 2008.
Who is the village idiot- the president, the pandering media or the gullible masses who voted for him?
Palm, meet face.
Obama would be better suited as a third world African dictator than POTUS. If he is re-elected he will destroy America. If that happens I hope he ends up like Ghaddafi, the dictator he helped oust with his illegal war. That would be a fitting end to a complete disaster as president.
The men behind the curtain do not care whether it’s Howdy Doody, or Dilly Dally, dangling on their strings.
I formed an early opinion that Obamugabe is some sort of mild idiot savant, that is, a
person whose brain is extremely well developed and functional in a very narrow area.
Leslie Lemke, the prodigy pianist, was a very famous example of the syndrome.
Obama = sock puppet
Scary… Why does this moron continue to get a free ride from the MSM? The evidence of Obummer being nothing less then a half wit, and an impostor to the throne are myriad… yet it’s ignored. The world is seemingly going to hell in a hand basket and we have an affirmative action, narcissistic performer in the WH… What a bloody nightmare!
I have a feeling Pelosi and her cohorts never noticed “O” untill he began running, to be their nominee.
A wallflower who was always picked last.Dim?
Guess he fooled them… and a few more besides.
@eastern paul.
I disagree. All evidence points to Obama being a token. I submit that he hasn’t fooled anyone recently, other people have done the fooling for him. He doesn’t even run the water in that house. Some polls have him losing to two and even three of the four remaining Republican candidates. I do not think his handlers will allow that to happen. They put him in, and they will take him out. This linked article may be the trigger.
Americans have checked, “Vote for a black President” off their ‘to do’ list.
I think the next election will be a landslide.
The reason why President Obama gets a free ride is a result of the media (and a good number of voters) suffering from “Sauron syndrome”. They put the President where he is today, and turning back now would be like Sauron tossing the One Ring into Mount Doom. Their power would be broken.
A 50 year working life taught me a lot of things and one of them was the really dangerous people are the ones who are dumb and think they are smart. They surround themselves with people who for whatever reason affirm them. Fortunately I worked in a business that didn’t tolerate fakers. Politics isn’t like that. A clever faker can go all the way to the top.
Many liberals in the US wanted a black president to assuage a sense of guilt.
Well they were successful,they got Valerie Jarrett.
Mr 57 states, talking about bidness (thats business to any educated person) and watching basketball is the figurehead only. The marxists are in charge and it’s fine by him.
I have no words that can possibly describe his incompetence.

I do, our First Affirmative Action President.
Hey Cascadian, Valerie Jarret is a mulatto just like Obama and Eric Holder they are only 1/2 black. Just sayin.
