    But hey, he’s already spoken his own political epitaph for his one and only term:

    “I like being President. And it turns out I’m pretty good at it.”

    As for the rest of us, perhaps Abraham Lincoln’s advice sums it up best:

    So I ask, is President Obama the New Coke?

    The electorate seemed to want change in 2008 and Obama seemed to represent the change they wanted. This change was about politicians moving beyond partisanship to get things moving again in Washington –it was not about big government solving everyone’s problems.

    This was clearly evident during his campaign so it should come as no surprise to those of us who voted against him. He wanted to “play” president so bad. And his spouse has yet to do anything worthwhile with her position other than magazine covers either. Those who voted for him love the celebrity aspects as it reminds them of Clinton. At least Clinton TRIED to lead…

    . . .Truman Capote was absolutely right when he wrote in “Conversations,” that “the trouble with most actors (and actresses) is that they are dumb. And in many instances, the dumbest are the most gifted.”

    That explains why Sean Penn can visit Cuba without noticing that most of the Island is desperately poor; that Vanessa Redgrave can be a Palestinian sympathizer without questioning why Yasser Arafat was a multimillionaire while his people starved in camps. The only bright stars are those who recognize their former ignorance and admit it.

    I suppose a list can be compiled of mistakes, though I do not know how they all can be attributable to Pres Obama. If you are going to him to task, take him to task over non-silly things.

    How does Pres Obama own the flubbed oath administered by the Chief Justice, or Caroline Kennedy messing up her campaign to become Senator?

    If something is thrown, it should stick, without question. Like the problematic cap and trade.

For us, laughter and derision is preferred over defecating on the streets and stepping on American flags, which you and your friends are truly experts on.

    And you can put us down as much you’d like, but it won’t change the fact that your sainted leader is a wagyu-eating, thermostat-raising, teleprompter-reading, dvd-giving, non-stop-campaigning, terrorist-befriending, dictator-kissing, stuttering, leadership-impaired, history illiterate president on training wheels.
