Obama occupies the office, but the office doesn’t occupy the man.


Very nice way of putting it. re: #854 pingjockey

Ah. You have more faith than I. The man had no business in the senate let alone where he is now. How the people of this country elected someone so totally unqualified to be prez is still totally mind blowing.


While I don’t disagree, this is a BIG part of the problem.

Obama is, bluntly, not politically mature enough to be POTUS.

He’s never run anything of consequence in his entire life, nor held executive office, nor has he even been on the national stage long enough to know how to behave there. Further, his opportunity to mature that way during his campaign was severely stunted by the media’s repugnant water-carrying. All the lessons he *should* have learned before he took office, he didn’t.

So now we’re stuck with a political juvenile as leader of the free world.

Again, maybe its wishful thinking, but I think he will (eventually) get his act together. The question is whether or not he’ll be able to do it before he enacts his agenda or expends all his political capital.
