Just like we never heard from the media that Obama's own jobs proposal was never put on the Senate agenda for months...but all we ever heard was that "congress" was not cooperating. There was also never any mention that senate dems did not like much of the content of Obama's proposal....silence!
And now the great campaigner is working the "we can't wait" smoke job. He has had these executive powers options at his disposal since he took office. So why has HE WAITED UNTIL NOW to finally use them? Because in the early years of his term he didn't need them to keep his job. So now that he has returned back to continual/perpetual campaign mode, he is using all the tools at his disposal. To solve the jobs problem. Absolutely not.....to keep his job.
Add to the above his ongoing farcical stance how he cannot get the job done because of politics as usual in the congress.
All the above plus his lack of performance on real issues, these are the ongoing oblique, evasive, dodge and weave, lawyerly talking actions that I do not like about Obama.
He insults the intelligence of ANY thinking American.....R or D or black or white worldwide.
Please, somebody, anytime you see his face or hear his voice and he is not campaigning please direct me to where I can view/hear it. I always enjoy adding firsts to my experiences list!!!!!!

Many can take the situation in Washington and put their own political or ideological spin on them. But in my opinion there are no politicians or parties in any of the branches of government who are working for the benefit of the country, who are actually governing. I'm not critical of any of them. I AM critical of ALL of them. The only small and probably inconsequential "statement" I can make is not to vote for any of them in any upcoming elections. No one in Washington has earned my vote. My guess is that the vast majority of Americans agree. That being the case, why bother criticizing the actions or inactions of any of them. Just throw them all out when you have a chance.
In that so many people probably agree with me--that's what all the polls say these days--it'll be interesting to see how the upcoming elections actually turn out. My guess is that after all those special interest campaign contributions get turned into effective re-election advertising campaigns, beating the voters into a froth of partisanship, we won't see anywhere near enough change in Washington to make a difference.
Watch what happens. When the ads begin, suddenly the dialog here will turn to "this guy or gal really did an OK job", or "the only party or candidate that can get us out of this mess is __________". The advertising will be working. And one, two, three, four years from now, we'll still be arguing about who is responsible for the mess in our government. But the answer will be clear...IT'S US!!
