Well, I hate to say it again, but this country deserves the government that it elects, and this is it.

Now, the 58 million plus of us who voted for Sarah Palin (not that other guy) have to hunker down for the next four years and hope we survive the mess this country of ignormarouses has gotten us all into.

Ah. But if Pres. Obama steps aside [not that I actually expect that to happen], the MSM would be faced with a fait accompli and at that point I’d expect them to throw their support behind Biden.

Bush did it 24/7 for eight years without a whimper.

Worth repeating.

This community organizer gets creepier and creepier.

“Bush says job too difficult for him” or some such crap..

Bless his heart. He can to turn over making the tough decisions to a more august, experienced body, like the UN.

Lets be honest here. Here is a guy who hasn’t really put in a true 40-hour workweek ever in his life. For the past ten years...he likely showed up at work around 9 and left by 4. If he put any work into a weekend...it was less than three hours. He had no major lawn work or garage to clear...nor was he restoring any cars or coaching little league. My impression of his college years...especially as the ‘editor’ at the legal review....was that he barely showed up and never wrote much of anything...just occupying the position.

So now? Graying hair. No breaks except for a few hours of sleep in the evening. Meetings that lead to more meetings, that lead to more meetings. Decisions must be made, and then remade. Important people paying the guy at the front door to get a twenty-minute meeting to emphasize their pet project or their 100-million dollar real estate deal with the national park service. He’s putting five hours of work into every Saturday, and likely has another five spread through Sunday on various projects.

His ideology is under constant pressure because you can’t put a square peg into a round hole. His speeches are programmed events but he has to be closely involved and waste an hour here and an hour there practicing them so he can portray the “one”. He has people like Pelosi and Reid who have little to no respect for his office or his abilities. He gets various stories from his experts, who really aren’t much to brag about.

Then adding onto this entire mess...the economy is at the worst point in 100 years....two major wars are underway....some radio talk-show host is actually taking some strong whacks at your credibility, your birth certificate could potentially come out at any point to spoil the legend, and the years as a community organizer really didn’t prepare you for this kind of work (but you can’t admit this in public).

Did I miss anything?

Reagan inherited a far worse situation and his attitude was always one of optimism. He NEVER complained.

***PRES. OBAMA: I wish I had the luxury of just dealing with a modest recession***

By all numbers it's not the worse recession we've seen and it's not even close to depression numbers but with Obama it soon will be.

Maybe he will grow up now. It is not the man who holds the presidency, it is the job that holds the man. Now follow the constitution and your job will be a whole lot easier!

>>Would a President Plugs be an improvment?<<

NOT NO, BUT HELL NO!

As one who has had to put with the pompous Duke of Delaware, if you think it couldn’t be worse than 0bambi or think that Biden is a harmless old fool,you’re wrong on both counts. This pompous stuffed shirt actually believes that he RULES by divine right. He has a placeholder in the Senate, keeping the seat warm so that his son can inherit what is rightfully his. Bden is 0bambi’s life insurance policy.

“Bush did it 24/7 for eight years without a whimper.”

And being constantly firebombed on a daily basis by the liberals for every decision!

Poor guy. He has to do really hard things like figuring out new ways to dis our allies and former adversaries while cozying up to our enemies. Maybe if they had a few more parties at the WH he'd feel better...about his trashing our market, economy and country. Can we have Bush back now, please?

Reagan always looked like he never broke a sweat...

Because the man had a soul anchored on a set of guiding principles that would sustain him on all the decisions a president has to make...and so did Bush.

Obama is floundering because he has a soul full of rancor and fear. That does not give strength, it only gives ulcers....

This poser has all his life skated through on the efforts of others. He’s been propped up, petted and adored. Now that he’s FINALLY having to be accountable for his actions, he’s showing himself for the petty, mewling narcissist that he is.

He's assumed the appearance of different identities throughout his life for what doing so could gain for him. Now he's discovering that he's in a position where everyone in the world will see that behavior for what it is and will interpret everything he does now as president by how he's been doing things up until now.

Nancy Pelosi is primed to go!

Our first president who only comes out after the sun goes down.

Then again, Obama only seems alive when he's partying on Wednesday nights.
