What Obama still hasn't figured out about being President

With three years left in his presidency, Obama still has time to be something like the generational figure a lot of Americans hoped he would be, forcibly pulling government into the digital world. Or he can spend his time working the phones and signing small orders with his pen, sort of like the most powerful claims adjuster on earth.

I think being POTUS is on the job training, but that is mitigated if the person has some executive experience. I prefer Governors over senators any day.

There's so many assumptions that are just wrong, in this article, that, at best, it's a danger even in the bottom of the bird cage.
It should be burned.

Such as this one?:

” - - - - He could learn the right lesson from the fiasco of the health care rollout - - - “

IMHO, that is more of a shattered, but devoted Obamacrat Hope, than a logical Assumption.

BTW, was that a Wacko Bird birdcage?

Obama has never tried to be president. He thinks he is something else, something more, even though he does so much less.

Because of that, I feel comfortable saying that Obama is not my president. He is something else.

What has Egypt figured out? They just voted in another Sharia constitution.

AND they put Morsi in a glass cage during his trill before the Judge.

Correction: trial, not trill. Sorry.

'.. none of this gets to the hard truth that underlies Obama’s lagging approval ratings, which is that while most Americans may agree with the president’s assessment of what’s wrong in government, they no longer trust him to fix it.'

Looks like you don't get it either, Yahoo News!

In a nutshell, the President should:

Lift the least common denominator to a higher level, not pander to it.

[Verginius Rufus]

If Obama uses his phone, it won’t be to try to persuade members of Congress to go along with his proposals. It will be calls to the MSM to give them their marching orders.

“Egypt has figured all this is out, when will America do the same?”

Never, because the majority of Americans are stupid.
