Obama, much like Bill Clinton, avoids making tough decisions by deferring, out-sourcing or ignoring them and when things go wrong, he is quick to blame others. He is clearly over his head as president and apparently doesn’t take his responsibilities very seriously. Aside from earnestly pushing socialist policies and enjoying celebrity status, Obama is essentially ‘playing president’. This is why I’ve never been able to take him seriously, except as a dedicated socialist that loathes the America that gave him unprecedented opportunities. He is a phony of the first rank, just as Clinton was in his own way but far more dangerous because, unlike Clinton, Obama is a socialist ‘true believer’.
NO ONE respects him. A few find him useful. Not least of which, those who count on a second term in order to achieve one-party rule as soon as they get two more communists on the Supreme Court. Although not mentioned much in this campaign thus far, THAT IS the holy grail this year.
