They say a picture tells a thousand stories, but this picture, and these pictures tell more than just stories. It tells of a President of the United States’ gross narcissism, arrogance, incompetence, and complete disregard for the seriousness of the Gulf oil spill that will have an impact far beyond his own administration’s days of wine and roses.
This story is starting to catch fire – even in the mainstream media – and it hints at a narrative which is slowly taking root and potentially devastating to Barack Obama’s presidency.
Let’s be clear: I’m not holding this administration responsible for the catastrophe still unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. And, to be fair, there would be nothing wrong with the President taking a breather from all the stresses and strains of the various crises battering his administration over what was indeed a very bad month of May. But this president isn’t just taking any breather, he’s acting like some teenager who’s parents have left him the house and the car keys while they go off on vacation. It’s disgraceful, pathetic, and something the mainstream dino-media would be absolutely howling about were there a Republican in the White House.
As the link above shows, President Obama has had himself one fine time while families bury the dead of those killed in the oil platform explosion and families all along the Louisiana and Alabama coasts fear for their livelihoods as the slick continues to spread and consume and destroy. This president’s response to the problem? Why, he’s now looking for “ass to kick”.
Wow, I’m impressed. Just what, I might ask, are we supposed to draw from this? That’s he’s a tough guy? Again, that’s the Obama playbook from his street-organizing days: identify, demonize, then destroy. Those are not the words of a President playing the role of engaged leader, they’re the words of a street punk acting tough, like bully. I’m sorry, Mr. President, you don’t sound like a leader at all. Frankly, you sound like an ass.
Fortunately, it’s not just conservatives who are starting to awaken to this administration’s gross ineptness and realize this president is in way – WAY – over his head. Hillary Clinton has to be licking her chops. I’m no fan of hers by any stretch of the imagination, but right now she’s looking mighty good to me – at least we’d have an adult in the White House.
