Obama Does Nothing But Pass The Buck Somewhere Else
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-04-10 | DrJohn

Posted on 09/05/2010 4:54:29 PM PDT by Starman417

Barack Obama obviously wanted to be President of the US. Unfortunately, Obama wants none of the responsibilities of the office. The buck is always stopped somewhere else, usually at the doorstep of George Bush. Obama blames George Bush for everything ad nauseum, recently extending the blame period from "the last eght years" to "the last ten years." For the moment we'll ignore that the economy went into the tank only after Democrats took office. We'll ignore the fact that Barack Obama was a US Senator from 2005 to 2009. We'll ignore the fact that Obama did absolutely nothing to rectify the wrongs that he now pins on Bush. It's as though Obama's Viagra wasn't working and Obama was just an impotent US Senator caught all up in Bush rapture.

As unemployment rose to 9.6% Obama, the guy who says

... I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards.

does nothing but push all of us to look backwards. Accordingly, Obama took another shot at Bush:

“For a decade, middle class families felt the sting of stagnant incomes and declining economic security. Companies were rewarded with tax breaks for creating jobs overseas. Wall Street firms turned huge profits by taking, in some cases, reckless risks and cutting corners. All of this came at the expense of working Americans, who were fighting harder and harder just to stay afloat – often borrowing against inflated home values to pay their bills. Ultimately, the house of cards collapsed,” Obama said.

Democrats were dealing those cards, but let's ignore that for now too.

Let's look at this part- "tax breaks for creating jobs overseas."

Actually, there is no such thing per se.

Speaking of passing the buck, it looks to me like she is just passing the buck here to where it belongs...to congress or wherever they can figure out the whole ball of wax belongs.
If this is the way she can get it done, more power to her!

Obama steps out front when the news is good, when it looks like he can take credit for something or spin it in a positive way.

Obama lets others do the talking as much as possible when the news is negative or derogatory, i.e. defense cuts when gates announced we're cutting missile defense, FCS, Zumwald, F22 which is a massive and near unprecedented cut post WWII in force modernization and the POTUS found no time or need to announce this himself. However, he figured the cuts in our nuclear arsenal would be well received, so he did the talking on that.

Obama blames others when he has to do the talking and what he says is derogatory or negative, i.e. BP oil spill or economy.

We have a POTUS that is operating on the level of a 9 year old and leading from the rear, not the front. He takes no responsibility for anything, even though he said he would, because when he said that it sounded like a “good thing to say.” Words have no meaning with this administration. They are just things thrown around to make people like you and vote a certain way.

obama is so confused ... his entire life he managed to succeed without doing much.

He got out of high school without really attending classes because he was black

He got admitted Columbia because of racial quotas

He successfully transferred to Harvard because of racial quotas

He pass his classes and was given a diploma he didn't earn or deserve because of racial quotas.

He was allowed into law school and put on the law review as the first black because affirmative action programs and quotas.

Everything he every achieved he has been just given to him because he was black, and now that everything isn't going his way like it always has he is dumbfounded.

I didn't study .. I didn't learn, I didn't DO anything before and yet I succeeded... WHY isn't it working now?

what a fairy and embarrassment this man is for our country.

Has this man ever got his hands dirty, had a fight, or even done any physical work at all?

look up Putin, Bush , Reagan and you get photo’s of hard working tough men, look up obama and you get him screaming like a girl, riding like a fairy on a bike, putting up curtains etc.

Good observation. And the very reason we should support quotas. Some half-white kid can rise from nothing, do nothing, accomplish nothing, and he and his wife have an enormous sense of entitlement and become a PINO (president in name only) who is still nothing, does nothing, accomplishes nothing, and he and his wife still have an enormous sense of entitlement just shows how successful that whole quota thing has worked. /s

Nobody plays tag at school because the weak get weeded out. Everybody wins at baseball and soccer. Even if you fail, you get sent to the next grade with a smiley face so the parents don't sue. Sad thing is, there's a lot more right behind him. We are in a culture of non-achievers and Obama is their poster boy.

Folks, Zero is a Narcissist. That's what they do when things don't go the way they want them to.

I've dealt with this mental illness all of my 53 years. I know the personality inside and out and I know what I'm talking about.

Aside from our nation I also feel sorry for his daughters. Those girls are going to be so screwed up until they grow up, develop the courage and go no contact with both of their parents.

Actually, there is no such thing per se.

Perhaps not, but there are huge regulation breaks for doing so. Any company with the option to do so is naturally going to avoid the burdens of state and local regulation - promulgated by endless offices full of unelected and unaccountable rent-seeking bureaucrats - and go where its operations are welcomed.

Obama was unqualified to even qualify as a failure.

Talk about a conundrum, a POTUS that isn’t legally elected that cannot effectively even fake being President.

Cannot be impeached because he “failed to qualify” and if he were it would nullify every act and decision he made.

Obama speaks of “leveling the playing field.” The hourly compensation costs for all employees in the US in 2008 was $32.26. For China, it was $1.36 in 2008. Let’s see Obama level that playing field.

About 2 weeks ago Baseline magazine published an article about State Department financing a program to make Sri lanka IT workers speak better English, so the companies can take an advantage of lower wages there. That caused a scandal as even leftists were wondering why American taxpayer should finance transferring of his job oversees.

Narcissists are experts at manipulating and controlling and they don’t give up until they get what they want.

If Obama chooses to run for a second term and he has a chance of winning I could see a constitutional challenge to his eligibility. If not, I suspect congress will be too busy undoing the damage Obama has done to actually impeach him.

At least he's consistent...

Obama on the economy and unemployment:

Obama on the gulf oil spill:

Obama on illegal immigration:

BO votes "PRESENT!"

PRESENT!



Over 40 million in that line now... 40 million Americans are on food stamps.
Food stamps have simply replaced the far too visible bread lines.
So simply imagine this line 40 million people long to put today's situation in perspective.
