The other day, for example, he told Fox News that "if we keep on adding to the debt . . . people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession." That's a great line -- but not from a guy who plans to "keep on adding to the debt" as a conscious strategy. This is the president who made "trillion" the new default unit of federal budgeting, and whose irresponsibility is prompting key players around the world to consider seriously whether it's time to ditch the dollar's role as global reserve currency.

Rush had an interesting comment a few months ago, mostly related to the lack of seriousness with which Zero goes about the job. Rush said that, “Obama doesn’t want to be President, he wants to do President”.
Mostly true. He has his minions doing the Marxist thing for him while travels about playing basketball, trashing America while on foreign soil, playing golf, throwing “friends” under the bus if the become too big of a liability, going on dates ... you get the idea.

Rush had an interesting comment a few months ago, mostly related to the lack of seriousness with which Zero goes about the job. Rush said that, Obama doesnt want to be President, he wants to do President. Indeed, observe the history of recent Democrat presidential candidates.
John Kerry was prepared to delegate full responsibility for Defense and Foreign Affairs to John McCain, if he agreed to serve as Vice-President. That is not the action of a serious President. Instead, it recalls somebody whose interest extends to residing in the White House and entering to "Hail to the Chief".
Algore viewed the job as his birthright. Does anybody remember a single serious initiative he proposed during his campaign? Global warming doesn't count.
Then, there was Bill Clinton. A President whose workday extended from roughly 10 AM to lunch. An incessant traveler and a diddler. He was also intent on "doing the President thing".
That one party should have such a run of shallow narcissists as nominees for the top office in the free world is rather stunning, isn't it?
It really says what the Democrat party has become.

one assumed there'd be someone in the White House to point out tactfully that the citizen-executives of the American republic don't bow to foreign monarchs One would assume wrong. Let us pray this is not a precedent, as much as the Zero and his minions would have it so.

Leftists, panty waists, liberals and Democrats believe that leadership means being liked. Being a leader has nothing to do being popular. A leader does what has to be done and stepping on toes or bowling someone over is not a problem.
I had a bolt and nail eating, fire pissing, two fisted First Sergeant in the Army. When crap needed to be done, it got done. He was unconventional, he was gruff but damn could this man lead a company. He was brutally honest with officers to the point that some of them felt insulted. Our Company Commander knew that all he had to do was stay out of the way, let Top do it his way and he would get all the credit.
I absolutely hated this SOB, but I would follow him through the gates of Hell to fight the Army of the Satan. And believe me, Satan would be in trouble.

With Zero [not] at the helm, it's as if America has been... beheaded.
No leader
No head
No mercy
לא נשיא
לא ראש
לא רחמה
No wonder the name of Gog has already been spelled out with the last three presidents. B (bet) for Barak. Hmmm, thinking...
Obama אובמה sounds similar to behema בהמה (beast):
0929 b@hemah {be-hay-maw'}
from an unused root (probably meaning to be mute); TWOT - 208a; n f
AV - beast 136, cattle 53; 189
1) beast, cattle, animal
1a) beasts (coll of all animals)
1b) cattle, livestock (of domestic animals)
1c) wild beasts
Must be a coincidence. Just like ברק (Barak) is lightning. At this rate America is poised for a big Zot.

That would be the “plural” (i.e. double-wide?) variant. ;)
Strong’s is funny:
0930 b@hemowth {be-hay-mohth’}
in form a plural or 0929, but really a singular of Egyptian
derivation; TWOT - 208b; n m
AV - behemoth 1; 1
1) perhaps an extinct dinosaur
1a) a Diplodocus or Brachiosaurus, exact meaning unknown
++++
Some translate as elephant or hippopotamus but from the
description in Job 40:15-24, this is patently absurd.
>>>
In the fullness of time, however, it all makes sense. :)

“The Vacuum of American Leadership”
I’d argue their isn’t a vacuum of leadership (only a vacuum of the good/moral or righteous). Evil incarnate leadership has taken this nation on a detour that will only end up in a dead end.
