Severely Out of Touch

I’ve said it before – although I do not agree with the majority of what Obama and his administration are doing, I do not feel it is wise to just disagree with Obama on everything just for disagreement sake. I know a lot of conservative talking heads out there portray an “anti-Obama” attitude, all the time – well, much like what liberal democrats did to Bush and his administration. Because I am not an entertainer on the radio who needs good ratings, nor am I a politician who needs the approval of voters to keep my job, I feel I should primarily concern myself with the issues and not wasting too much of my energy and time on Obama-bashing.

However, when I read interviews like the one Obama just had with George Stephanopoulos (another fellow lib) on Jan. 20th I cringe, and can’t help but fire back. Throughout the interview, the President once again demonstrated how entirely out of touch he truly is in comprehending American values and what is really going on in the country. It is like he is tone-deaf – sure he can sing, but he just can’t get the notes right.

Here is what I mean:
TRANSCRIPT: George Stephanopoulos' Exclusive Interview with President Obama January 20, 2010 6:30 PM
STEPHANOPOULOS: “So you saw it coming by then?” (Referring to the election of Senator Scott Brown ( R ) Massachusetts.)
Obama: “…The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry, and they're frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years…”
Whoa, whoa, back up. Let me get this straight: he just blamed Scott Brown getting elected on Bush? Unbelievable! This is about as valid as O.J. saying he isn’t an angry guy…
The voters of Massachusetts did not reject the democratic nominee because they were angry with the Bush years, they voted for Scott Brown because they are angry at YOU Mr. President! They sent a message to the current administration and to the country that they are rejecting far-left liberal policy, and would like the country to come back into balance. And God bless them for doing so!
Republicans did not vote Scott Brown into office by the way. Massachusetts is comprised of less than 25% registered republicans, so all of you republican-hating, Bush-despising liberals can’t direct your anger and frustration at the party you so love to hate.
Scott Brown and Obama might share similar circumstance regarding people voting them in because they were angry and wanted change, but to then turn around and say they voted for Scott Brown because of the last eight years is just plain bizarre. People voted for Scott Brown to basically send the message that they do not approve of a far-left liberal democrat majority in Washington with cart blanch to enact any radical legislation they want. Once again, I am utterly astounded at our Presidents inability to accept any sort of blame for anything or admit that his policies are radical and unpopular. He continually treats the opposition to his policies as what is radical -- not worthy of any real consideration.

He goes on to make a statement completely outside of the realm of reality:

Obama: “And, you know, if there's one thing that I regret this year, is that we were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us, that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values…”

What is he talking about? He got more face time with the country than Leno and Conan combined. Obama was on TV more in 2009 than any other President in history! Every time he picked his nose the media was following him like a screaming teenage fan of the latest American Idol. Every time Obama scratched his butt he threw a press conference about it.
Let me interpret what Obama really is saying here: “Unfortunately, you Americans are so stupid you don’t know what you believe in, so basically, I have to tell you what to believe in, and even though I got more face time with the public than George Clooney, you still don’t get it…”

In reality Mr. President, the American people know exactly what their core values are – it is you who does not. Nor do you share our core values, and in 2010, we will prove it!
