Obama just not ready for prime time....
Advertisements [?]
Obama has the arrogance of someone that truly does not know what he is doing. His wife is even more arrogant... "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of America..." The arrogance might even be excusable if there was something to back it up. He uses high flowing rhetoric, but none of his policy proposals are bold.

He's challenging you to accept LESS in order to appease the right wing. It's really just that simple. He doesn't want to fight for you, he wants you to compromise with the rethug moderates (which is the same as the extreme right in any European country), even while we are poised to have a full majority in both houses.

Look at anyone of his policy proposals, and tell me which major proposal isn't watered down? They all are. I cannot believe the base of this party is falling for this.

And even if you do think it's a good idea to reach for less so you can gain rethug support (which is a fairy tale anyway) why in the hell would you fall for a guy who says he is going to change the politics in DC when he hasn't demonstrated any ability whatsoever to do that? He has the arrogance of a foolish person, too enamored of his own reflection to realize that real experience IS necessary for some jobs.

It boggles the mind.
