Obama doesn't believe we have any problems but one; Opposition to him personally. For a man that tries to imply that he is Lincoln-est he doesn't seem to have any of the traits that Lincoln was famous for.
He doesn't believe we have a spending problem. House Speaker Boehner said during the last series of useless negotiations with Obama he grew angry when Boehner said that we have a spending problem in Washington. Obama told him to stop saying that. He even went so for to say "We don't have a spending problem in Washington."
To be honest, I think some of his supporters actually believe this nonsense. We have millions of Obamazombies running around the country screaming about guns, subjecting gun owners to untold number of insults. Treating them like drug-dealers. Last night on the Rachal Maddow show she was focusing on numerous tactics to attack law-abiding gun owners. It was a pathetic display of hatred and malice. Obama set the stage for this and he hopes this will be the issue that wins back Congress for him thus giving him a blank check to spend as he wishes. The Democrats don't care if Obama destroys the country because they seem to have the same attitude. Solving problems isn't in their DNA.
We're really in for it folks. If you wanted someone that was going to solve your problems you picked the wrong guy because this guy won't do it. He believes that any crisis can be used against his opposition. He's not in the business of doing what his job requires. He's all about destroying the his enemies. That's it. Nothing else matters to him.
Lincoln was a very wise president. Do you remember some of these quotes:
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Perhaps this last quote is what Obama feels makes him like Lincoln. Obama spends every waking hour trying to destroy anyone who opposes him but he forgets to do his job.
Abraham Lincoln had a thick skin. He never acted out of vengeance or malice. He felt that any leader that did so compromised his leadership role. Perhaps Obama never learned that when he was growing up. His entire world revolves around getting even and I think that this personality flaw will undo him eventually. Problem is we have to deal with the consequences leading up to it.
Yesterday a disillusioned American public saw a president that cannot be pragmatic and has no sense of what the office means. A president that never accepts the blame for anything. A president that essentially went back on what he said before he was president, that it was reckless and "unpatriotic" to raise the debt-ceiling. He lectures us about compromise and meeting the other side half-way, but those are just words he uses against his enemies.
Well, it's pretty clear that Obama is full of shit.
