POKING the dragon

[Jim in CT]

Obama is an unqualified clown who is in way over his head. The one thing he got right in the last 3 years was ordering that the Somali pirates be taken out. Other than that. he's a train wreck.

The economy? Obama said unemployment would stay below 8% if we passed his stimulus bill. How did that work out? We spent what, $750 billion? Obama says 4 million jobs were saved or created (whatever saved means), and even if you believe that, it works out to $187,500 per job. Most of those jobs are in the public sector, since much of the money was given to local governments. What liberals cannot seem to grasp is that the more public employees there are, the higher taxes must be. That doesn't seem too complex to me, but libs can't grasp it. The Chinese, for God's sake, are telling us to put a brake on the spending.

Foreign policy? Iraq has gone exactly as the Bush administration scheduled it to go, and that country is much better off than it was before we invaded. Afghanistan? Ater talking endlessly about what a bad idea the Iraqi surge was, it seems to me Obama adopted the same strategy.

Candidate Obama said that Gitmo was a stain on America's greatness. President Obama realizes Gitmo serves a purpose.

Bashing the Cambridge police? Civilian trials for terrorists? Not taking a stand on the appropriateness of the so-called grouind zero mosque? Saying republicans have to sit in the back of the bus? Has the guy done ANYTHING to fix social security or medicare? Adding trillions to the deficit?

I'll say one thing about Obama. As incompetent as he is, he was smart enough to pick an attorney general and a secstate who make him look brilliant...

You mean the same one that Bloomberg took? That the mosque has been there for years and that a community center is certainly within their rights to build and any ban would be un-American and unconstitutional?
