Over the past few weeks, we've been treated to a precise and detailed preview of what the rest of the Obama presidency will be like: a sky black with chickens coming home to roost and blaming George W. Bush.

Not even midway into the Obama presidency, we've been hit with two major crises and a scandal. Constituting the first serious challenges to confront this administration, they arrive quite belated, occurring eighteen months into Obama's first term. Obama has had plenty of time to prepare (recall that Bush was thrust into his moment of truth less than nine months after taking office). So how has he done?

The crises are, of course, the Deepwater Horizon blowout and the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan. (The Israeli maritime strike against Hamas has not yet blown up to crisis level, though the administration is doing its best to accomplish that.) The scandal is the Sestak affair, now promoted to the Sestak-Romanoff affair.

George W. Bush was condemned by everybody from the man in the street to Heaven's mighty seraphim due to the fact that federal aid did not arrive in New Orleans for three whole days after Hurricane Katrina struck. (This was -- and remains -- standard operating procedure for federal disaster assistance. It's hard to see how it could be otherwise -- but we'll skip that.) It has been six weeks since the Deepwater Horizon blowout. And what has the Obama administration accomplished in a time period fourteen times longer than that granted to Bush?

Well, we've seen Obama frowning. Obama sticking his fingers into the sand. Obama saying he's frustrated. Obama telling us a heartwarming story about his daughter. He even, according to spokesman Robert Gibbs, said "damn" at one point. (Though this has not yet been independently verified by a third party.)

That's it. That's the sum total of accomplishment by Barack Obama, his administration, his party, and his bureaucracy, in facing his first major domestic crisis.

Any democrat with a chance is distancing themselves from BO. Only candidates who are desparate take BO's help. He's not had one win for anyone he campaigned for.

It's over. Finished. This President is a collosal failure. The American people have made the biggest mistake in our history.
 
Maybe electing a Marxist Ideologue wasn't the best idea the American people ever came up with

Wrong.
 
WhineyManTuba once again displays the inadequacy of his intellect.

Great response, moron.
 
I wouldn't say that three incidents and his responses make his total presidency a failure. But they are indicative of how he will respond to any challenge. And the evidence is scary. He vacillated on Afghanistan before embarking on a course that will surely fail. He vacillated on health care while the Democrats in Congress fashioned a bill and rammed it through. He has pissed off the British, the Czechs, the Poles, and the Israelis. He has lost the respect of the Iranians, who are playing him for a fool, the North Koreans, who will shortly, and the Turks, who will do godknowswhat with Israel.
In all, he has displayed, as he did during the campaign, a serious lack of judgment and an appalling decision making process.

Major reach on your part....but what the hell

Its all you got. With any luck, the economy will fail and the gulf will turn into a tar pit.

Thats what the conservatives have been hoping

Drill, baby, Drill
 
We can see the inexperience on display from this failed President. He's never governed. He's never ran a business. He's organized neighborhoods and taught classes and voted for bills. That's it. He's never had to make a major decision until his Presidency and he showed his reluctance with the time it took to commit more troops to Afghanistan. He is timid. He's so afraid of making a blunder that he's frozen in fear. He has no courage and absolutely no leadership.

He's so afraid of making a blunder that he's frozen in fear. He has no courage and absolutely no leadership.

Even Obama's voting record was scant - he was propped up. A figment of the radical left post-60's Generation.

And I do not wish to see the economy continue to suffer, nor the Gulf Coast disaster worsen - and yet, that is where we are at.

Obama is at fault at least in part for those facts, and he continues to appears oddly detached from the requirements of the job for which he was elected. His aloof nature borders on terminal indifference. The only time he appears interested is when it begins to impact his own standing, or possibly hamper the agenda of his neo-progressives around him. Otherwise, his repeated comments are devoid of emotion, devoid of curiosity - he is simply reading a script...
 
He appears "detached" because he doesn't know what in the hell to do. He's not a leader. He's never led anything. He's never fixed anything. He's never ran anything. He's good at speaking because he's a lawyer and a professor. Presidents are tested and some have what it takes. Some don't. That's just the way it is.

The thing is - when he is off script, he is not particularly good at speaking. He comes off as rather insecure and uncertain.

Frankly, I think the guy lacks so much common sense, he borders on the stupid. He knows the liberal system via Chicago, and later DC, but outside of that odd world, he is lost...

He's what I call an "educated dummy". Universities are full of them. They teach and administer, but live in a bubble. They don't have to struggle or strive to meet a payroll, make a profit, or meet a deadline. They just walk around in their ivory towers and attend their wine parties and educational functions. It's not like they actually have a job and work for a living like the rest of us.

I want a President with some common sense that is attained by real life crises, events, and who knows how to work to make a living. The kind of person the left makes fun off and ridicules.
 
What'd ya'll expect? Everytime there is a problem he jets off to a party or the golf course... a child searching for anything to divert him from reality.

He's a hapless boob.... but we knew he was a nobody. Unfortunately many caved in to the cult of personality coupled with loads of empty promises and tired old cliches. Thanks again for being so gullible.
 
Yep, some air headed celebrities can get stupid Americans to elect anyone. Obama is proof of that.

You had two businessmen, such as they were, at the top in the last administration, and we got a disaster of a presidency from it.

Your clichaic post is comically hackneyed and unoriginal.
