When Being 'Cool' Is Not So Cool
Being 'cool' may have helped Barack Obama's image as a candidate for President. Cool works on the campaign trail, especially when your opponent is a not-at-all-cool old man. But, as President, cool is not working so well for Mr. Obama.
As I mentioned in my last post, his appearance on Leno is not necessarily the kind of history Americans want their President to make when thousands are losing their jobs every week. Being cool is not the answer or the leadership that Americans are looking for right now. Joking around on the Tonight Show does not give people confidence in his leadership.
Today we have another example of the President's coolness backfiring. In an interview on Sixty Minutes, the President was asked how he handles all these crises with such levity, "Are you punch-drunk?" he was asked. While I think the same question could have been asked with more respect, this nevertheless points to a need to change the 'cool' image that can translate as cold, uncaring or possibly incompetent.
We do need CHANGE. Change in our President's approach and attitude towards the economic crisis we face as a nation. Stop campaigning, Mr. President, and with all due respect, just get to work.

He lacks any serious attitude that makes a proper president. Even that nymphomaniac Clinton didn't look this pathetically inadequate; besides his drugrunning and murder involvements that is.
And people are still uttering: "just wait, Obama is gonna change everything".
These mindless fools of the masses are a real danger. As far as conspiracy theories go, these sheepflocks have been chipped already and are mere zombies, completely unaware of reality surrounding them.
And while Barry the Magic Lubricant of Islamic Communism sooths the masses' conciousness and sends messages of hippy dreams to Al Qaida, the 'guerilla's of allah' are building IslamBergs all over the United States.

Then again, what muslim wouldn't be laughing when he's president of the USA getting a maffioso salary for doing didley squad besides sitting on his ass all day.
My political fantasy regarding the situation in our country, is that even the most extreme Leftist becomes so dissatisfied with the man, that they run him out of office so fast, that he will not even attempt to run in 2012. This is what happened to Lyndon Johnson back in 1968, although looking back, Johnson was nowhere nearly as bad or dangerous as oBongo is.
The truth of the matter is, is that Sultan oBongo should have never become our President in the first place. It was a weird fluke, and nothing more. The Dummycrats did not put forth their best Presidential contenders during their primaries (as if they have any, anyway!), and, in retrospect, I do not think that John McCain really wanted to become President. I think he was shocked as much as anybody else, when he passed up Rudy Giuliani and then beat Mitt Romney. I happen to like John McCain a lot, but if what I am saying here is true, then he should never have run for President this time around in the first place.
