— Gabriel Malor In the aftermath of the Obama Administration -- actually, in the follow-on commentary in mid-November 2012 -- commentators are going to go on at length about "how it all went wrong." Some are going to blame racism. Some are going to say it was all about a bum economy that ("of course, of course") cannot be blamed on just the President.
But the truest observation will be that the Obama Administration had the classic symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The President's disinterest -- boredom, really -- in finishing what he's started is getting noticed.
Most recently, Democratic governors are wondering about his forgotten promise to do something about the economy:
"Universally the governors are saying, 'We've got to talk about jobs,'" Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, said in an interview. "And all of a sudden we have immigration going on."He added, "It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats."
Constant motion, repeated inability to focus. The President, who already has a pretty full load given the horrendous economy his spendulus didn't even dent and an oil spill his Administration has made worse, can't seem to resist throwing something else on the pile.
Of note, on all three issues: the economy, immigration, and the oil spill, the President faces substantial public opposition from the American public. That hasn't stopped him from running back and forth from these issues to a dozen others -- for example, Israel, gays, ObamaCare, and carbon regulation -- most of which also put him on the wrong side of the public.

Not a day goes by when I don't see what a brilliant man O is and how he fooled so many Americans. It makes me wonder if he were a paid agent of a hostile nation what would he do differently?

1) the economy will be "fixed" if the newsies have their way...jobless benefits extended and no long term reset needed to refire the engine
2) immigration policy to Chairman Ogabe is simply his inability to show restraint in reaching for the coke er uh um cookie.....
he is hot for that 12-30 million new voters he wants
3) the oil spill will be solved sooner or later and may have taken a big step today....when Jugears swoops in to take credit and you know he will suddenly it will be a "story again".....
never underestimate how low in the embarass youself catergory the newsies are willing to dive.

Whatever you do, don't look him in the eyes. That laser like focus on jobs will kill you.
At least when he isn't golfing.
Or thinking about the catastrophic oil spill first thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed.
Or when he's on vacation (third since the oil spill).
Or having radical leftists, communists and socialist radicals as guests in the whitehouse.
Or hosting concerts and other soirees with those oh so current events savey celebrities in the whitehouse.
You know, after that stuff.

Want to do something about the economy, democrats? Get out of our pockets.
Actually - just go the fuck away.

Anyone who has studied handwriting analysis a bit, knows that Obama's writing exhibits all the classic characteristics of someone who has NO FOLLOW THROUGH AT ALL...
For people like Obama, to state it, is the same thing as making it happen.
1. Issue non-specific proclamation
2. ???
3. Bask in accomplishment & glory!

Since when is an empty suit actually supposed to accomplish anything?

I think he had a glamorized version of a leader as someone who sets the agenda and announces his plans to adoring fans.
Now, these events just keep happening to him, he lashes out and doesn't understand why the crowds aren't always cheering.
Supporting facts: the way his administration keeps acting like they are still campaigning.
"Remember when every word actually was greeted with cheers? I want more of that."

If he'd just stay focused 100% on his golf game, shit might start to get better.

On which of these three is Obama and the public on the same side?

I've seen the one where his blackberry goes flying off his belt as he takes a swing. I think the phone went farther than the ball.

Can we get him found insane (or just plain "nuts") and get rid of him?
Still taking bets for when he names the dog to a cabinet position...or has him run for senatorial seat.

What's that you say? Obama's going on vacation--again? And he's still blaming Bush?
Well, it's just that it's hard work cleaning up the problems of eight years of Bush and, of course, it going to have to take eight years.
Just as soon as Obama gets re-elected, he'll really, really focus on fixing America. Promise.
And racism: The only reason he looks like he's flopping around is Racism. He's really doing a good job. No other President has had such domestic and international difficulties to deal with and has yet been able to accomplish many of his campaign promises.

maddog @ 16 - great article.
I knew that electing this liar would be bad, but I just didn't realize how fast our country would decline and how bad it would actually get.
I'm just wondering if we can even take this another 6 months?

Cocaine, cocaine and more cocaine. It's as easy as that. What do you think Reggie is there for besides the Love?
Check out symptoms of cocaine abuse, he's got many. His weight loss is quite apparent. I've done videos on Zombie Obama hightlighting his nose wiping tic a classic symptom.

I've never despised a United States Government like I do this one. If we get a Republican President in 2012, I want to see some treason trials and some serious jail time. These bastards have passed political infighting; they're seriously out to destroy the nation through bankrupting it.

It's a feature, not a bug. He's trying to control the news cycle by announcing new initiatives. New things knock old things off the table. It's government by diversion.

I haven't seen Obama do any of that. When I look at him, I see a spoiled little bitch who can't imagine not getting his way.
There is a difference.
