I almost, not quite, take exception to our President in all most all ways, HOWEVER, as I said on here in 2007 and 2008, he has NEVER worked at a real job...now do not jump on me...I mean he is of the academic world. He taught Alinsky and organized neighborhoods for action. That was his background before getting into politics.

That is all ok....and please...I do not mean he does not work. It is just who he is and he cannot change. He lectures...he believes what he says, and has no patience for anyone who may have another opinion. He brings out the Alinsky with his constant attacks no matter the stituation. It is just who he is.

I do not see him as phoney.....he really believes in his heart that HIS ideas are the only ideas and has no patience for anyone who may have a different opinion. Any book written about him since he became President, whether from the right or left makes that very point and very clearly.

When he speaks "off the cuff" so to speak, he reverts back to LECTURING and that is all he is doing. He is not even trying to relate to what is happening.....what he said and says is from the classroom. He has very little background from which to draw on anything else and is surrounded by nothing but yes men.

He has always been that way, and will not change. I stopped even criticizing him for what he says, because it is just him.

Recall how loud and dramatic his words when he drew that famous "red line" on Syria. Practicing theory and not being realistic, and we all saw what happened there.

His words mean nothing any longer, but he will keep preaching.

BUT.....sometimes his "theories" make sense as in the economic struggles....but foreign policy, he refuses to accept reality and will say all the same things in the classroom.
