Report: Obama Lacks Presidential Skills â âA Plumber Would Be More Qualifiedâ Than Obama

Via US News and World Report and Free Republic:

As the negotiations and the vote-getting on raising the debt ceiling have dragged on these last two weeks, itâs became clear that President Obama really is not a good negotiator. Several times, just as a deal seemed imminent, the discussions have collapsedâand very publicly. There were leaks from the administration, he-said-she-said accounts from both sides, angry White House press conferencesâjust a âparade of horribles,â as lawyers would call it. The result is a rising tide of public disgust and frustration. Not only has he lost bipartisan support in both the House or the Senate, his lack of ability to persuade people to join his cause has cost President Obama the vital center of the electorate.

According to yesterdayâs Pew Research national survey, with results collected just this week, only 31 percent of independent voters want to see Obama re-elected, down from 42 percent in May. Two months ago, Obama held a 7 point lead among independent registered voters two months ago, but independent support has swung 15 points the other way, giving an 8 point advantage to a generic Republican. âThis is consistent with a drop in Obamaâs approval among all independents. Currently, a majority (54 percent) disapprove of Obamaâs performance for the first time in his presidency,â according to Pew. [Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]

Maybe itâs because Hillary Clintonâs âthree in the morningâ ad was rightâmaybe he just doesnât have the experience to be president. Of the top 100 jobs that would qualify one to be president, being a law professor isnât one of them. A plumber would be better qualified than a law professor. Seriouslyâa plumber is a problem solver who has to keep customers happy. A used car salesman knows how to close a deal. A UPS deliveryman knows how to meet a deadline. A diplomat knows how to be, well, diplomatic. Meaning he doesnât lecture people about âeating their peasâ when he needs them to jump on board.

Budget Deal a 'Joke,' Obama Is 'Incompetent': Trump

"......he said the president did manage to score a political victory during the debt debate, removing an issue that had the potential to derail his run for a second term next year."

Donald Duck would be more qualified.

Don't forget - BO stinks.

Before I got into comedy, I was a plumber for 150 years - although that's just an estimate

Another year or two of Obama and the plumbing profession is going to look pretty good. They do make some very good money.

Hmmm I may have to consider it since the socialists are intent on destroying the general aviation industry.

My intended specialization: Laying pipe!

This is just the media hyping up the situation. The officials have a job to do and they're doing it. They have a deadline. These people graduated from the nation's top universities. You know the one thing you need to do to graduate from an Ivy League? It's the ability to meet deadlines.

Have no fear. What else can you do but wait, see, react?

I hope this post is extreme sarcasm. At this point an Ivy League degree should qualify one to be pushed up against a wall and shot. Except for me, of course.

Obama is a weak leader that no one in either party respects. He had Pelosi to ram through obamacare, now Reid saved his butt on this debt ceiling. Obama is also very lucky that the republicans are led by spineless wimps.
