Yes I do. I need to find another station to wake up to, but I like waking up to classical music, OK?

I’ll tell you, the leftists at NPR are so damned predictable. Had John McCain been elected President, today’s discouraging news on the job numbers would have been introduced with something like the following:

“His job approval numbers plummeting in the polls, President McCain this morning was greeted with the news that new U.S. claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed to a nine-month high last week, dealing yet another setback to the nation’s economic recovery and his failed economic policies. This not only confirms experts’ views that the President’s tepid attempts to turn the economy around have failed, but also call into question his ability to govern, given his advanced age.”

With St. Barack in office, we heard about the floods in Pakistan, the U.S. getting out of Iraq, Jennifer Aniston wanting another baby, and, oh, by the way, just seconds before signoff…

“New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed to a nine-month high last week, yet another setback to the frail economic recovery. This is NPR.”

Lemme tell you, I was never much of a George W. Bush (or, for that matter, a Bill Clinton) fan, but compared to this adult adolescent, this socialist, this clueless clown, this Manchurian candidate, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton look like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, respectively.

And I’m not the only one who thinks so. At least with W and Bill you felt like they understood what being President meant or signified (i.e., being something bigger then them), and (at least in public) acted, y’know, presidential. Now I don’t know exactly what being “presidential” means – I guess it’s like pornography, you can’t define it but you sure know it when you see it. What I see from President Obama is a self-righteous, self-absorbed, arrogant narcissist who loves being President but doesn’t want the responsibilities that go along with it. I see someone totally in over his head, someone who has been told his whole life that his you-know-what doesn’t stink, and how he’s God’s gift to creation.

Well, just like in Greek mythology, even the gods fall. And the bigger they are the harder they fall. I’m with the American Thinker on this, Barack Obama’s best days are behind him, his presidency doomed to the worst of failures. And why? Because doesn’t understand the office or the role of the President – never did, nor was he ever qualified to be President to begin with. Oh, I’m not talking about him not being a natural-born American citizen (which I’ll bet he’s not), I’m talking about the fact that people actually expected someone who had never run so much as a lemonade stand in his life to somehow become a respected leader of peoples.

If he was a more likeable fellow, I’d actually feel sorry for him. But he’s not, so I don’t.

It’s awful to feel this way about your President. But this guy in my mind doesn’t deserve the office or the respect that comes with it. He’s not only lacking in ability, but more important, he’s lacking in those things Americans look for in presidents: class and grace. What’s worse is that it’s not just him holding the keys to power, it’s Nancy Pelosi (who wants to investigate those opposed to the Ground Zero mosque) and Harry Reid (who insults Hispanics who dare align themselves with Republicans or conservatives) as well. Together, they are an embarrassment and a disgrace to the offices they were elected to.

Enjoy the Cape, Mr. President.
