Obama: 'I Expect To Be Held Accountable' On Jobs
Friday, July 16, 2010
In the past decade, the presidential candidates who won did so by Iying to the American people. Whether it was preying upon voters' fear of terr0rism or pretending to be something he's not (left of Hillary), both Bush & Obama won by Iying to voters.
It only works for so long without blowback by resentful Americans.
Obama's been governing as if he's Bush's Siamese twin and working overtime to get Sarah Palin as the GOP's candidate in 2012. If he governed as a real Democrat, delivering on the promises of his campaign, think how much better off we all would be right about now.
The point is that he's not a good leader, not a good politician, and a lousy president. I wouldn't vote for Bush, or Cheney, or Reagan, but here the three of them are in the policies of Barack Obama.
When I think about the lengths Obama's gone to to control the 2012 playing field on the Republican side, so that he would look good by comparison (instead of actually BEING good, being better by comparison with anyone the GOP would put up against him), that makes Obama a slug. Both as a human being and as a president of the US.
Obama's not the one we've been waiting for. The sooner we get on with finding the one, the better for us all.
