The first was by the voters here at home earlier this month.
The second is now coming from the world stage:

Remember when he was giving himself a B+ on being POTUS. I think that was last year and remember he was the only one grading that high. We the people had him at C- or D at best.

I have a copy of that well know sign in my office:
Either lead, follow or get out of the way.

He certainly is not leading domestically or internationally.
My personal opinion is we should not give up our status in the world and follow.
If he does not start to move from his agenda (what ever it may be) or partisan politics there is no choice but to move out of the way. That seems to be what is underway by default...other G20 countries are going around or by us.

Smiling, making great sounding speeches and dancing with the children doesn't work anymore in other countries than it does here. The shine is off. Nobody is buying what he is peddaling....world wide.

The next two years, unfortunately will only bring more of the same. Then in 2012 we get a new POTUS and it will take him/her some time to be effective. So we are in for at least a rough ride for the next 4+ years.

Pull your seat belt tight. It is not going to be pleasant. We are living the saying it can only get worse before it gets better.

Maybe a revolution could shorten the time to recovery.

there is another example of Obama saying one thing and doing another:

Slowly but surely we the people are getting it. Just look at the growth in federal jobs. Just look at the details of the sizes of the raises given out.

But that's OK...y'all on social security just hang in there.

We really can't wait till 2012 to send him packing to stop the out of control.....yes...OUT OF CONTROL....spending.
I guess there was method to not having a budget this year. They can spend what ever they want on salaries....there is no limit/budget.
And certainly no responsibility.

There is no percentage in even considering giving Obama a break to see if he gets it and does something about the spending spiral. He has consistently demonstrated he does not care. Please don't confuse what he does with what he says.
He would have been given his walking papers by now in any American company .
