Voting Present: Barone, Cost Push the Meme
— Ace

I can't take credit because it's an obvious line of attack -- the president is obviously feckless, cowardly, and incapable of making a decision.

Given that it's obvious, it should be a strong theme for 2012.

Barone:

In the Illinois legislature state Sen. Barack Obama voted "present" 129 times. Today he seems to be voting present on two major issues, Libya and the budget.

...

Voting "present" may be a responsible move for a legislator genuinely undecided about which way to go. But an executive voting "present" is choosing a course with consequences whether he likes it or not.

"The buck stops here," said the sign on the desk of the 33rd president, Harry Truman, who was quick to make decisions -- sometimes too quick. The 44th president's tendency seems to be something like the opposite.

That's a good point; Obama is in fact choosing bankruptcy and Qadaffy. Those are the defaults; abstaining from making an alternative decision in fact chooses those.

Cost:

[A]ccording to the Post, not only is the administration's policy sideways, the commander in chief has been passive in its formulation. This is not the first time this has happened. The Obama White House left the drafting of the stimulus mostly to Democratic leadership in Congress -- so much so that aides to House Appropriations Committee chairman David Obey complained about a lack of guidance -- and the result was a bloated, inefficient bill that quickly galvanized conservative opposition and ended the "post-partisan" age. He was similarly agnostic on the health care bill, allowing Congress to come up with an incomprehensible mish-mash that still required political trickery to pass. His recent budget fails to take seriously the mounting deficit crisis, which the White House is happy to let Republicans take the politically unpopular lead on. His administration was persistently behind the curve on the revolutions in Iran and Egypt, and now it is taking a backseat to the French on Libya.

...

Nobody in the United States is as intent on reminding his fellow citizens just how awesome he is than Barack Obama. That's what the "Age of Obama" is all about. But that seems to be about it. The sense of awe he has cultivated has not been used for any great purpose -- not to forge a bipartisan compromise on the stimulus, not to push through an intelliglble health care plan, not to handle the deficit, not to lead on any of the various foreign policy flareups. This is more a clerkship presidency, with a commander in chief either unwilling or unable to take the lead on the most challenging issues of the day.

...

. A billion dollars [in 2012 campaign spending], they hope, will change the public's currently low opinion of the Obama administration. Yet it cannot change one very good reason why the public has come to its opinion, which is that his has been a clerkship presidency. A glorified clerkship, no doubt, but a clerkship nonetheless.

Well according to that pro obamacare judge, not making a decision still counts as an action, right?

6 Good. Nearly every choice made by Obama has been inept or criminal in its foundation in crony capitalism, chicago style machine pork ladling. Instead of McCain's preemptive surrender to the oh so historical obama, 2012 nominees need to knock the halo off of Obama's deity costume.

8 Not deciding is itself a decision.  You'll end up where ever tendency carries you.  And in Barry's case, his tendencies carries you to misery, poverty and death.

9 #2  I agree.  I think most of the candidates (excepting Huckabee and Newt) could do him damage in a debate,  but Christie would leave nothing but a grease spot on the floor.

I sure would like to see it.

Seriously,  I think he might skip the debates entirely.  All of a sudden he will be busy with negotiating something or working hard on some crisis.  "No time" he will say.

And at that point we should shove his mocking of McCain for suggesting skipping a debate during the money crisis right down his throat.

I want nothing to do with Libya, but how hard would it be to send a drone over there and stop one of those air strikes against the rebels?  If it's shot down, oh well.  While they dither over a "no-fly zone" a single air strike could have saved hundreds  of lives and made Quadaffy's loyalists think twice about getting into an airplane.   

Also, did you see the article in the sidebar which mentioned in passing that BHO had "skipped" a meeting on Libya?  No wonder we're doing nothing.

In addition to Barky being a total retard who couldn't figure out the solution to anything, he also loves to dither for kicks - just to screw things up some more.  It's often difficult to truly know whether the Indonesian is dithering and indecisive because of his natural inabilities or because he's looking to mess things up.  Generally, this is a distinction without a difference, though.

Because everything else he said has been a lie, I am pretty sure that Barry was never bullied, but that he himself was the bully (which is why community organizer was such a good career fit for him).  I think he is hesitant because he is basically lazy and he honestly doesn't care.  He knows that the MFM is in his pocket, and they will let him skate on everything!

Posted by: runningrn at March 14, 2011 11:01 AM (ihSHD)

82 #64  runningrn,  you are right.

A couple of years ago he bragged about how he wasn't bullied because he was so tall.   So either he lied then,  or he is lying now.

I vote for the fact that he is a natural bully,  and he has always succeeded using those tactics,  whether because of his height while in school,  or because he gravitated to Chicago (where that type of tactic seems to be the norm),  or because of his color (where he used it to cow people who disagreed with him). 

He is continuing to use it with the press and with individuals in his own party.  It was successful with the GOP for about a year,  until people suddenly had had enough.

Now he has called in his union thugs (also bullies) and the college brats,  who behave the same way.  Much as I don't like confrontation,  we are going to have to stand up to them.  The only way you get rid of bullies is if you face them and fight it out.  We will have to do it with Obama as well.

88 Obama's personality is  partly due to his likely molestation by Frank Marshall Davis as a teenager.  Davis was  basically a bisexual pervert with a fondness for  underage kids. Obama was kind of pretty for a dude, slender and a bit delicate. Obama's grandpa would take Obama to visit Davis where they would share a drink and tell dirty jokes -- that's in Obama's autobiography. And we know Obama's fondness for high school pot-smoking. So they probably got high together too.

Imagine you have a 15-16 year old daughter. Would you take her to visit a middle-aged pervert who lived nearby? And you later found out the middle-aged dude was giving her alcohol and telling her dirty jokes ... would there be any doubt in your mind what the middle-aged dude was trying to do to your daughter?

This is what happened to Obama. And explains a lot of his personality I think.

184 You know why Odipstick can't lead?  He doesn't know how.  He is not a natural born leader, so he would have to learn, problem being I don't think he had as much as a secretary before he became prez.

He wouldn't even make a statement in the campaign until McCain did, and then he would just criticize.

185 You think your name is bad, just imagine what I had to go through in High School

186 I knew several girls with a name that was teased that way.

It rhymes with a female body part.

189 I think every kid with your name (popular Irish name, yes?) got that treatment.  I had more than my fair share, seeing how my name is unisex.  Not as bad as Lindsay or Marion, but pretty close.

grognard is unisex?

...and now it is taking a backseat to the French on Libya.

I am surprisingly okay with this. Let someone else step up for a change. Especially the French, who should provide some laughs if they try anything military.

 

Also, if Toonces should take the backseat in one of those Peugots getting youth-torched outside Paris, that too would be humorous.

193 Democrats want to say that choosing NOT to buy health insurance is a choice and an action, and therefore because you chose NOT to buy it, they can force you to buy it.

Choosing NOT to make a decision as president of the United States is a choice and an action, and it's choosing to keep things the way they are.  If you're not against it, you're for it... and if you sit in the Oval Office doing nothing, then you must like things the way they are.

Ace,

I like to believe that barry is voting "not present" or "not presidential".

Choosing NOT to make a decision as president of the United States is a choice and an action, and it's choosing to keep things the way they are. 

I would put it a little differently.  Not making a decision has consequences.  The consequences occur whether or not the lack of a decision in effect means a particular outcome, or whether it's simply procrastination due to incompetence, disinterest or whatever.
