There are people who contend that Obama is effectively an empty suit. This is perhaps an indicator that Obama may be a nice likable guy, but that he is not an effective leader and/or does not have a clear plan of action.
Yes and
many of these are the same people who have been dogging him since it became clear that he was a contender in 2008.. It is difficult to lead people who refuse to see your worth regardless to what you do and refuse to be led because they think you are not worthy.
Can you imagine what Faux News and the like would have done if it had been the president at some Democratic fund raiser.. or GOD FORBID some event at a
black church, if he had made the same statement statement about "the 47%.." You can correct the number where applicable.. but the outcry wold have been relentless.. and if it had been a black function gun sales would have surely spiked the following week.. Even if he had full cooperation from the "other side" for the full four years (don't think that they were "nice" when they were a minority .. they were just as obstructionist as they were in the second half of his term .. they just didn't have that ful measure of power..) the problems he faced in 2009 were huge... but we have people who want to just totally ignore the lack of cooperation from congress over the last two years by saying .. "He had two years with a democratic majority in congress and he did nothing!!" and they say that with a straight face.
Now they are going to harp on Bengazi up to the election.. guaranteed.. unless Rev. Wright sticks his fool head up or something else happens.. and people are dumb enough to eat that up.. because they want a reason ... Never mind the fact that given the nature of that attack.. even if security had been stepped up it still might not have been enough and who can see these things coming? It is sad.. but you would think that a few hundred Americans were killed in that attack..
Now Gov. Romney says that he will deal with Iran.. deal with Al Qaida.. deal with the debt .. and North Korea and support Israel.. and not raise any taxes on ANYONE and keep the Bush era tax cuts.. that are a big part of our current debt.. and not cut anything important.. like social security, education or defense, because you know.. we have to police the world to keep that M.I.C. fat and happy (which is what that eu .. and create jobs...
President Obama says.. he wants to cut some taxes on people who can afford it.. cut waste where possible.. give businesses a reason to bring jobs back here... maintain support for Israel .. hold Iran accountable.. let folks in some of these other countries deal with their own issues (
there was a reason why Sod@mn Insane had his foot on those people's necks in Iraq... He knew what he was dealing with.. so did Qadaffi and Mubarak) , foster better education here and work towards getting us off the oilcrack we have been on for the last few hundred plus years.
They both said other stuff.. but that's the gist of it.. Gay marriage and abortion? State issues.. that is the battleground for those issues and on gay marriage if you think they are going back in the closet you are insane. The morality of these issues is what it is but no amount of legislation is going to put either of those eggs back together.. and some of us can sit here and allow ourselves to be manipulated by others with these issues but I chose not to. Anyhoo... this is getting my shorts in a knot so I'm out for now. It just ticks me off how malleable the American Sheeple are...
