Playing At Being President
The American Thinker ^ | September 30, 2009 | W. A. Bussey

Posted on 09/30/2009 3:39:59 AM PDT by Scanian

The longer he is in office, the more it appears that Barack H. Obama doesn't really want to be president but only to play at being president. He doesn't seem interested in dealing with the messy, day-to-day responsibilities of the president's job. He doesn't want to be the Chief Executive and propose legislation that will move the country forward to new heights. He doesn't want to be Commander-In-Chief of the military and execute a necessary war. He doesn't take on the fiscal responsibilities required of the executive to deal with our economic issues. He doesn't want to be leader of the United States and act with dignity and forcefulness to put American interests forward in the world community.

ISAIAH 40

22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

The article nails it! I have said since early in his campaign that he and his live in an “American Idol world”! It’s all about what he/she is wearing and who they are being seen with.

Zero's body language is a dead give away that he is a poser. His teleprompter head gyrations tell us that he is a robotic reader. Anyone that can objectively look at him realizes he is not the great orator that his lapdog media reports. He loves the photographer when on the world stage. Even his smile is so unbelievably waxy. He could have been a prop in Madame Tussaud's museum this past week with how remarkably well he held his smile. When it comes to substance, as in meeting with the NATO commander this week... he was terribly uncomfortable. His eyes were blinking, his mannerisms were broadcasting 'get me outta here, people are going to realize I know nothing about Afghanistan.'

Obama Joker

I still find it amazing the world of physics.

As WONDERFUL as he was supposed to be, is as HORRIBLE as he is.

I read somewhere that on election night when Obama was declared the winner, Michelle said to him, “All our troubles are over!”

The thought behind that statement - that the Presidency is a winning lottery ticket somehow - is stunning in its ill forboding for our Nation.

Hillary was right, Obama answering that 2 am crisis phone call to the White House is scary.

Yep, there is something very strange about his smile. Check out this video (CREEPY!)...That Odd Obama Smile Never Changes (video)

Concur 100%. Obama is the personification of image over substance. He wants to give speeches and have his minions sweat the details. Of course, when that happens he loses control over the final product. But, hey, who cares if its any good or not? Aas long as he can declare “victory”. Despite his rhetoric, he will never go “line by line” through anything—its too much work.

Hillary may have been right, but I doubt she would have been any better. Her tenure as SecState has not been impressive so far.

I think the 52nd Psalm is also applicable.

obama is nothing but somebody’s puppet. He has not come to govern but solely to dismantle the US system. And his reward, as someone here mentioned, is that he and Michelle get to live it up.

This crap is so easy to spot.

Clinton wasn’t fit for the office. I often wondered how a guy like that made it all the way into the presidency.
-He was there to open the door for a schmuck like obama to get in and start the real damage.

There is nothing good about these people. I hate to say that.

Barry is the 'Accidental President'. He never thought he would really win so now he doesn't know what to do.

He's like a little yappy dog that always chases the UPS Truck and barking all the way, then one day he actually catches it. He's like, 'okay, now what genius?'

[to put it another way. Obama is a 'Post Turtle'.]
