After losing out of the Sweet 16 yesterday, it's good to know our girls have a bright future with the #1 recruiting class coming in, including this Super Star!!
When does the US economy become the responsibility of President Obama. His decisions will either have a positive or negative effect on the situation. We're beginning to see the effect now. Nobody ever said being President was easy. It'sdefinately not the place for an inexperienced, but gifted, individual to learn on the go...
It's easy to remember all the "Bushisms" from his 8 years in office because the media, and individuals who really didn't like the man to begin with, had such a field day with them. I watched many of them and had plenty of laughs myself. I laughed because the guy is human, just like most everyone else. Now we have Obama in office who was supposed to be much more educated, experienced, and polished. The Left fully expected Obama to rescue them from the shadow of embarassing blunders made by President Bush. Has he delivered, or is he an error prone human like most everyone else? He has already committed several teleprompter miscues which leads many to believe he isn't able to communicate without written word in front of his face. Now, he has gone on the Jay Leno show (during a global crisis nonetheless), and made comments that were thoughtlessly critical of the handicapped.
When will the media and those who had so much fun making fun of Bush start to highlight the Obamaisms? Or, will the elitist media who backed Obama from birth sweep these funny mess ups under the rug? I wonder such things...
I recall during the presidential campaign how now President Obama raised the noble idea of bringing world peace through better relations and negotiation with organizations like the Taliban, and nations like North Korea and Iran. Many warned him that this had been tried time and time again. I agree it never hurts to talk and is best to keep communication channels open. But, the President also have to understand the cost of appearing weak. He also has to understand that some leaders, organizations, and countries cannot be trusted. How many times has North Korea agreed one day only to disagree the next? President Obama should also listen to his commanders on the ground who have reported time and time again that Iran is meddling in Iraq and attempting to end any peace that the US and other soldiers have fought to establish.
Obama's latest offer to Iran was met, I can only imagine, with laughter. The present leadership within Iran has no interest in being "friends" with the West, especially with the USA.
Experience as a community organizer, a short stint as a Freshman Senator, a degree from a notorious school, and the ability to give a great presentation with the aid of a teleprompter does not qualify one to be President of the United States. I hope we have better choices on both sides of the aisle in another 4 years. Hopefully Obama doesn't socialize America and negotiate us into dire straights between now and then...
