No we're not.
We don't have a few years.
6 months, tops. Probably less.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

In mid-February 2008, fresh from winning a bunch of Super Tuesday primaries, Barack Obama granted an interview to "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Croft. "When you sit down and you look at [your] resume," Croft said to Obama, "there's no executive experience, and in fact, correct if I'm wrong, the only thing that you've actually run was the Harvard Law Review."
"Well, I've run my Senate office, and I've run this campaign," Obama said.
Seven months later, after receiving the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama talked with CNN's Anderson Cooper. At the time, the news was dominated by Hurricane Gustav, which was headed toward New Orleans and threatening to become a Katrina-like disaster. "Some of your Republican critics have said you don't have the experience to handle a situation like this," Cooper said to Obama. "They in fact have said that Governor Palin has more executive experience. ..."
"Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees," Obama answered. "We have got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years."
Obama ignored Palin's experience as governor of Alaska, which was considerably bigger than the Obama campaign. But his point was clear: If you're worried about my lack of my executive experience, look at my campaign. Running a first-rate campaign, Obama and his supporters argued, showed that Obama could run the federal government, even at its most testing moments. He could set goals, demand accountability, and, perhaps most importantly, bend the sprawling federal bureaucracy to his will.(continued)

Sure. He’d wag his finger,tell us not to jump to conclusions and then jump to the conclusion himself that it was a police matter.
I think that sums up his response quite well if i say so myself.
Obama had a campaign manager who ran his campaign that he was touting as his experience. Typical leftist, take credit for another man's work. How many did he have on his Senate staff...3, 4 people maybe? An assistant manager at McDonalds has more executive experience than Obama.
Maybe someone smarter than I am will explain why Governor Jendal didn’t simply hire whatever was available and start building berms on his own?
Furthurmore, prior to 11/2008, there were 4 people running for the offices of president/vice-president. ONLY one had ANY executive experience. And it wasn't you, 0'bam... and it wasn't plugs... and it wasn't even McPain.
Chief Executor of EVIL INTENTIONS.
Because he’d be violating dozens or even hundreds of Federal laws & regulations and didn’t want to go to prison?
Yep, he'd jump in front of a teleprompter, threaten to "kick ass" and then grab his putter and head for the golf course for a foursome with a couple of sheiks and Rahm. That night he would have a festive gala at the former White, now Black House with a communist dictator or two along with his foreign policy advisors, (various members of the Hollywood A-List) on the guest list .
It appears Bubba was not mangling his words; merely being prescient.
The Megalomaniac, Narcissistic, Fascist, Community Agitator, is intentionally "executing" (or murdering, killing, destroying--take your pick) not only every vestige of Capitalism, but is well on his way to eviscerating our Great Republic.
In all seriousness, as a double 6, seasoned citizen and Nam Vet, I have reservations as to whether this nation can survive another 2 3/4 years of a death of thousands cuts by the Moonbat Messiah, and if it does, can we ever fully recover?
I think you summed it up very nicely.
Thanks.

Can you expand on that please?

Call it a statistical digital hunch based on my work.
We are surrounded by a constricting ring of existential threats, each one of which is capable of completely crippling the USA, and simultaneously making any and all of the other threats more likely to manifest.
