Obama's vision of the Presidency is whack

We are starting to see the image Obama has of being President. Obama's 'I'm not an operating officer", I'll just get a bunch of people
to do that stuff for me because I lose things and my desk just gets messy anyway.

What happens in a crisis? Is he going to rely on third level staffers to do the quick, effective decision making in the crunch because he can't get his hands dirty?

Is this why he looks to Reagan as the model of a transformational presidency? Does anybody remember the stage crafting of Reagan? Every light, prop, crowd, flag, pencil, tie, and speech was scripted from start to finish, Obama is good at giving his lines, the lines that get people crying and emotional, does he see that as his role? Another Reagan with Hollywood handlers who is a good communicator?

Do we have 4-8 yrs to look forward to with him giving pablum to the masses while his Chicago
crew runs the Government?

Reagan had an excuse, he was in his 70's and had Alzheimers, what's Obama's?

People do have an image of a President, I'm sorry but they do. Creating an image of messy, passing the stuff to other people does not look good.

I mean they all do it, but you dont actually bloody say it.

And his perception of the presidency is nothing he has the slightest interest in learning?

He needs an assistant to hold on to a piece of paper because he might lose it?

Seems he is emotionally immature for the requirements of the next US President.

I guess that's all it takes for some people. Maybe Obama can bring Cheney back to help.

:rofl:

was talking about, that Kerry and Bush were both in Scull & Bones at Yale together.

:shrug:

Arguably Harvard is a bigger threat than Al Queda to the average American.

A history marked by incredible levels of discrimination until the post-WWII era.

Your burn Harvard pile of shit is about as right wing as it gets.

interesting to me. Hillary uses Rodham. Obama doesn't. And I rarely see anyone referring to Edwards as Johny Reid Edwards.

If you're comparing Obama to bushco because they both went to Harvard, or suggesting that Obama supporters chose Obama for that reason, you're full of it.

Whatever.

:puke:

That's very disappointing.

ends up with you saying he's wacked?

Now that's wacked! :crazy:

hella whack

is my 2nd language.

Sorry.

So you watched it?

What did you think of the first 3 things he'll do when he gets into office?

lies but you can't see that so you charge Obama with being whack..yak yak.

strawmen..anything to distract from hillary's sucky record and then she lies about it.

"I just have to show up - and my body language will tell them what to do"

Not his best moment, and that was before I knew of Raygun.

Does Obama have a ranch?

presidency.

as "an Honorable man". He might get Donnie McClurkin to hold televised sermons to help people "pray away the gay". Or he might bring his "dream" of "no nuclear power plant left behind" to every city in America. Yes, an Obama presidency is looking very good indeed.:eyes:

that Obama is bad. I attend a church that doesn't support gays. However one of my best friends is gay. There are many pastors and crooked churches thats why its important for lay people to have their own relationship with God. I can hear what my pastor says about different races, cultures or customs but it doesn't mean that I agree. In some areas I agree with Farrakhan but I still think he preaches hate which I don't tolerate. Every mans a sinner or has faults even you my dear have faults.

good luck with that "one of my best friends is gay" line.:eyes:

I'm putting you on ignore so that I can pray YOU away.:hi:

Hi ArkySue! :hi:

Lieberman was assigned to Obama when Obama entered the Senate.
Dennis Ross is a mixed bag- as are the majority of the advisors to all the candidates
Coburn is someone Obama has worked with on cutting pork
Robert Reich is another mixed bag- and there's a lot of good to be said about him.

Now tell me who you support, and I'll do a similar shallow hit job. And a much better one, at that.

Just kidding, give me Obama over triangulatin' Hil anyday.

mlk...jfk...reagan...

the incoming missiles launched from China is here SOMEWHERE; I remember seeing THEM buried in these piles of papers on this junk filled desk just last week, or was that a couple weeks ago."

Looks like obama would outsource his Presidential duties.

"Barack says he'll outsource his presidential duties to others, remind you of anyone"

That'll kill him stone dead.

Yet, the Obama camp has made no effort to assist investigators to look into his state records. In fact, Senator Obama has blithely claimed that his records have been

thrown out. Chicago columnist Lynn Sweet reports that Obama, who has called for "transparency in government" from his rivals, is not much interested in revealing his

own documents.



"I was in the state Senate for eight years," Obama said. "I had one staff person, that was what was allocated. I don't have archivists in the state Senate. I don't have

the Barack Obama State Senate Library available to me, so we had a bunch of file cabinets. I do not have a whole bunch of records from those years. Now, if there are

particular documents that you are interested in, then you should let us know...As I said, I didn't have the resources to ensure that all this stuff was archived in some

way...it could have been thrown out."

we made damn sure they were thrown out, destroyed, burned.

Too damn convenient for me. If someone cant produce important records of their past, that tells me, something is up.

You can be sure, that republicans will track them down.

...:(

"Burger World"

let the people that work for me do the things I cannot do.

You people are amazing on this messy desk thing. Next thing you know he is not qualified because he has a cleaning service. Some people are busy, and paid well to focus on bigger things.

:rofl:

Lovin' the truce.

:popcorn:

/yawn

And it's the main reason I haven't been able to warm to his candidacy. It's this whole leadership by inspiration thing. It's not something I can relate to - or even respond to it seems. Maybe I'm too much of a cynic when it comes to politics.

I want a politician that knows the issues inside out - that is willing to get their hands dirty fixing them.

They called Reagan "the great communicator". I always thought of him as "the great bullshitter". Obama seems to think that is a good leadership model.

Will it hurt his chances? Nobody knows. But it has disturbed this voter for the general election.

What's it like down there in the muck at the bottom of the barrel?

not "bad" like "good-bad" or "cool-bad" or "superbad".

From the article it sounds like wack is bad... But Obama seems like a pretty good guy, even if he's not the candidate I support, so in this case is wack good? I heard Whitney said "Crack is wack" but she seems to smoke a lot of it, so in her case is wack good?

Of course, I mean crack like cocaine crack, not sidewalk crack or break your mama's back. And I mean mama like your mother, not like your "babymama" which means the mother of your baby. And I mean kids like your children, not like "kidding around". And when I say "baby" I mean your offspring, not your squeeze. And when I say "squeeze" I mean a girl you mack on, not squeeze like you do to orange juice. "Mack" of course means to kiss, not like "Mad-mack-McCain". "Mad" in this case signifying crazy, not pissed off. And of course "pissed" as I use it here implies a sort of rage, not being "pissed" in the British sense of being wasted. "Wasted" in the sense of drinking too much, not like I wasted an opportunity to get laid. By "laid" I mean the chance to have sex, not the chance to lay down in my crib. Which is, of course, my house, not where my baby-mama puts my kids...
