ijusluvit...you write it the way you prefer to read/think/speak.
I will continue to do like wise. I will stick with my Christmas Tree light example....everything to do it is has been in motion for years....whoever is in office at the time gets to throw the switch. I will give Obama as much credit for the action as his supporters will give Bush. That should make it easy for all...eh? btk |

![]() From Michael Mukasey WSJ 5/1/2012 "Arbraham Lincoln on the day following Robert E Lee's surrender delivered from the window of the White House mentioned NOT his achievments but instead looked forward to the difficulties of reconstruction and called for black sufferage, a call that would doom him as a memeber of that audience (John wilkes Booth) muttered he has just delievered his last speech." Lincoln took responsibility in August 1862 failures of General George McClellan , eventually sacked for incompetence and Secretary Edwin Stanton. Lincoln told a crowd that McClellan was not at fault for seeking more than Stanton could give and "I stand here,as justice requires me to do, to take upon myself what has been carged upon the Secretary of War." Dwight Eisenhower penned a statement to be issued in anticipation of the failure of the Normandy invasion that read in part: "My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available." "The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame attaches to the attempt it is mine alone." A week later when it was apparent the invasion was an apparent success Eisenhower saluted the Allied Expedtionary Forces. One week ago.......... High was my preinvasion confidence in your courage , skill and effectiveness.....your accomplishments......have exceeded my brightest hopes. I truly congratulate you.........I am proud of you." George W Bush also had occassin to announce a triumph of intelligence: the capture of Saddam Hussien. He called the success a tribute to the men and women now serving in Iraq. He attributed it to the superb work of the intelligenc community and to skill and bravery of our fighting force Like eiswenhower he lso mentioned himself Today, on behalf of the nation I thank the member of the Armed forces and I congratulate them The intelligence community knew in early 2010 the location of bin Laden. Prior to issuing the order to strike in 2011 Obama made it clear that if the mission went wrong the fault would fall with Admiral McRaven who had the main decision making operational control of this mission." What the bin Laden situation really delinates, to me, is the lack of presidential breeding. As the old saw goes you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. I am not trying to be unkind here what some people see as arrogance or ego centric I view as attributed to the fact that Obama never had the long term opporutnity to become presidential. In the corporate world it is termed the "Peter Principle." It certainly explains Obama's continue use of "I" and "me" |

PS....quoting you: "As in the past this post rings with a high emotional tone, suggesting you are upset and frustrated with the President's action or inaction." You are free to interpret what ever you please. However when you (or anybody else) tries to present either me or what I said differently than I said or intended, I am compelled to respond. emotional tone...wrong...that is me talking! upset...not even close!!! frustrated, bingo, wrong again!!! Makes a nice back drop and introduction for your post. It just happens to be off base and wrong. I say what I think and believe based on my knowledge and experience. I have many years experience in measuring executive performance. What you and many like you may not care for is frank and no nonsense response to non performance. Offer your opinion but please refrain from measuring who I am or how I feel. You may may not like what I have to say that is fine. Don't pretend to think you know me, or how I feel about anything. btk |

but i hardly call this trip "gutsy"...to me, gutsy would be taking on congress and getting a budget passed instead of letting it be pushed off until after nov's elections - god forbid the american voter know where the pres or any member of congress really stands re a budget! gutsy would be formulating and implementing a policy on immigration instead of telling immigrants the republicans won't work with me - there is no proposal to work with! gutsy would be getting out of his social reformer mindset of redistributing my wealth and deal with a tax code for the 21st century! the president and the congressional sheep - all of them - have to wave a tennis racket to display any guts! posting on this political forum takes more guts than anyone in federal elected office can muster! Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians!

My candidate is not President. Your President is a joke. People are going to be pretty fed up with this OBL handstand. I think what he's doing is great for Romney.

Richie, my misinformed US citizen, President Barack Obama is YOUR president, too. Your candidate is not the president at this time. It is entirely possible Mr. Romney will win but until that time, YOUR president is Barack Obama.
You may think he is a joke - after all, we all had Junior Bush around to laugh at until January 20, 2009. "Mission Accomplished - on President Obama's Watch" |
