People like me have written article after article, radio and television has covered fact after fact about the doings of Obama, and his poll numbers indicate that these facts are finally having an impact on the public’s mindset concerning their opinion of the man.
However…
Then there are those who have a dog in the fight. Those like the media have failed to ask the tough question and get answers that are not only important fact finders for the public, but questions that should always be asked, investigated and resolved, concerning the man who desires to be the Chief Executive of America.
Watching a segment of our media cover Obama is like watching a bad movie, where a third world dictator is pulling the puppet strings of its cast of characters in order to paint a rosy picture for those who are viewing the spectacle.
There is a segment of America, willing to accept the viewing of children chanting the name “Obama, um um um”. Children, using a biblical song as if speaking of a god, a view similar to those which surfaced relating to Hitler, where the children of the 1930’s did similar things for a man responsible for murdering millions, after being highly praised as the hope and change for a nation.
It would take pure ignorance for any to do such a thing to our children and not expect there to be comparisons, let alone, concerns.
What about the fact that a, formerly prestigious organization handed a Nobel Peace Prize to a man who had done nothing, to earn it. An award, awarded for what he might do. Obama had been in office for only 12 days before Nobel Committee made its decision.
They are either very intuitive or have an agenda that belittles the prize.
I pick the latter of the two.
For those who care, Obama has spent more time on Health Care than he has on the war our brave men and women are fighting over seas, or at least that’s the way it seems publicly. Hell, for that matter, regarding public appearances, he spent more time picking a dog than he did talking to the General he picked to manage the war, our brave men and women are fighting.
With not yet a year in office, Obama appears to envision himself an icon. But someone needs to inform our President that we are judged, when it is all said and done, by what we do, not by what we wanted to do. Therefore, if Obama wants to be a great man, he has to stop seeing himself as one, so that others can be allowed to see him as such.
Really people, when you think of others who have acted the way Obama acts, what type of people come to mind..?
I wonder, can a President suffer from delusions of grandeur?
