    "All Obama Has Ever Run Was His Mouth"

    did Jesse Jackson really say that? if so-right on.


    I have watched this guy carefully. He has been sold as some sort of really smart administrator. The problem is he has shown nothing but an ability to speak well with a prepared speech in front of him. Last I checked, wordsmything does not substitute for leadership or analytical skills.

    He has tried Bill Clinton's playbook on numerous occasions, he always has a scapegoat handy. It is amazing to see sometimes. Right after he pushed for two of the largest deficits in history, he goes out and stomps around claiming 'we' cant continue this. Slick Willie, meet Slippery Barry.

    TARP was Bush's, but he takes all the credit. He sits and waits for something good to happen so he can prepare a speech about how well his programs are working. Really he has one to his name- stimulus... as if spending new money is hard.

    Obama thinks that being a leader is about waiting for better people to come up with solutions and then all he has to do is press the button and give a speech. He thinks problem solving amounts to being presented with a series of plans thought out by others, then just choosing the best one, which of course will be obvious after a meeting or two. He thinks there is an absolute and simple right and a wrong on political choices like health care, and all he has to do is get people to see he is right. In other words he is clueless about what it means to be the real decision maker.
