The White House of Cards

I was thinking about a good title for a book I want to write about the current phenomenon in the White House. I settled on “The Un-presidential President”. Then I came across an article by Richard Cohen in the Washington Post dated 09/29/2009: "Time to Act Like the President" that hits this nail on the head. http://www.washingtonpost.com/
Sums up a lot of what needs to get through to most folks since the Lame Stream Media won’t ask hard questions and does nothing but message our Presidents ego with praise, admiration, and puff pieces for his every move.
Let me ask you this: Given all that is going on right now, not only domestically but on the global scene, what do you think the media would be saying about Bush if he went to Copenhagen to lobby for the 2016 Olympics to be in Chicago? They would be blasting him for being completely ignorant, incompetent, and derelict in his duty as President, wasting taxpayer dollars on something so frivolous, and giving in to political pressure from his cronies. Am I right, or am I right?
I have said it from the start. Obama couldn’t have a weaker resume for the job of Commander in Chief; and 9 months in, he has done nothing to assuage the apprehensions many have about how green he really is – how dangerous he really is for the country on several different levels. You can’t run a country on “Hope and Change”. One needs reality and fact, coupled with experience and judgment. The last person on the planet who should have a “Yes We Can”, appeasement-type-attitude on foreign policy is the President of the United States. You cant associate yourself with known domestic terrorists, racists, and FAR left radicals, achieve the highest elected position in the world, and have the audacity (to use his own word) to feed the American People a bunch of BS about bi-partisanship, calculated judgment and transparency. Those of us “clinging to our guns and religion” aren’t as stupid as you think we are. And our enemies (and allies for that matter) are currently laughing at us.

If the job requirements for President of the United States went something like this:
• Experience reading well from a teleprompter.
• Can perpetually campaign for the position of President, even LONG after position is granted.
• Will unfailingly blame and bring discredit upon the previous administration.
• Get involved from a national platform on domestic issues completely irrelevant to the Presidency, but from a global platform chastise and apologize for your own country.
• Has the ability to keenly dodge every controversial issue with such grace as “I didn’t know” or, “it wasn’t me”, or “I didn’t call for that…”.

Well, then I’d say we have the right guy for the job.

You like movies? I do too. Here is an assessment we can all relate to:
Obama is like a child that wanders into the middle of a movie, has no idea what is going on but insists on telling you what the movie is, how it ends, and proceeds to go over plot points with critics. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, instead of actually sitting down, listening, or asking what is happening to better understand the substance of the movie, he starts getting as much face time with the critics as possible to talk about a movie he knows nothing about.
Although the 2008 election didn’t really have ANY candidates to choose from with wowing credentials, I, like many others, didn’t so much vote “yes” for McCain as I voted an “absolutely not!” for Obama.
