Is it just me, or is anyone else in America getting the sense there is no leader of our country at the moment? Seriously, I'm having a difficult time believing Mr. Obama is actually the president given he doesn't seem to be doing anything other than giving speeches and throwing parties.
The American people once again have it right. Polls show the No. 1 focus of the administration should be jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.

WTF?... How about "going to work" and get off the television for a couple of days in a row? My God, this clown can't seem to understand that the more we see of him the more we thing he's a douche bag. I just loved the football toss that looked like a girl when he "pushed" it to the kid.
Obama is becoming like the Pina Colada song.... kinda funny at first, popular and then you wanted to puke your guts out every time you hear/see it after awhile.
My son (14 year old) saw the commercial with me and just rolled his eyes and said.... "wow, he's even doing football commercials....jeez this is so lame...."
There was an excellent insight in an article I cannot find right now that discussed the fact that the US is one of the few countries where the head of the government is different than the head of state. Take UK for instance, where the head of state is the Queen and the head of government is the Prime Minister.
The problem you correctly bring out is that Obama easily fills the head of state, in fact relishing it, but veers away from being the head of the government.
This I believe is his fundamental weakness: he likes to be adulated as head of state but the job he was elected to do the head of government) he passes on, prefering that underlings(like Nancy, Harry and the Czars) do the work.
Bottomline: he is one lazy SOB.
So this says that essentially Obama is down to his base support. He's lost about all of the independents and middle ground voters who are the ones who elected him. Seems about right.
The disenchanted Obama voters from whose eyes the scales have fallen have probably come to realize that they elected someone who never had a job where he had to deliver on anything. He was a figurehead affirmative action editor of the Law Review and never had to write an article for it, and never did. He was a "community organizer". WTH is that? Never had to deliver on anything other than hot air agitation. A nonexistent record of "achievement" as a state legislator in a corrupt 'Rat-dominated state. He had a brief stint as a US Senator where he was absent for more votes than he was present, was in charge of a subcommittee than never held a meeting, authored no significant legislation. Now he has a job where he has to deliver and what does he deliver? More hot air, speeches, golf games, photo-ops "throwing" (pushing) footballs, traveling, bowing, spending other people's money. At some point, even the blind squirrel has to realize that this bum is not capable of doing anything, much less things that are good for the country.
Unlike stocks and mutual funds, with people the past IS an indicator of future performance.
