Obama is wearing out his mojo. Time to stop entertaining and start working, dude!

Hey, I’ve been as interested and enthusiastic as anyone in President Obama.? Really.? But what gives?
He’s been out traveling the world and apologizing for everything Bush ever did (can’t really blame him for that can we?).? But, dudes, it wasn’t America that went haywire, it was the last administration.? His rhetoric is making us all look guilty.? That can’t be good.? And we have real problems at home.
Frankly it seems he and his handlers are so intent on his celebrity that he is losing his mojo.? BHO please stop traveling and start going to work.? The lustre of your first 100 days in office is starting to tarnish and the? rust is spreading fast.
You got a Vice-President who doesn’t know the difference between personal opinion and policy.? You got a Treasury Secretary who is beginning to act like a secretary and not an executive (make the news Mr. Giethner and stop simply reporting it!).
The problem is that BHO has became so popular so fast that he thought he was made of Teflon.? He believed he could do anything and everything and as a consequence he hasn’t taken the time to sit down with his cabinet and set priorities.
Didn’t he promise us when he was pushing his stimulus package (almost $800 billion worth) that this stimulus would keep unemployment below 8%.? What happened Prez? You dropped the ball.
The problem has always been unemployment, unemployment and unemployment.? But you have been off collecting souvenirs from around the world when you should have been sheparding in a ton of new jobs.? Too late now.? We are going to see unemployment of 11% soon, and maybe even 12%.
It could have been different if BHO had just focused, but he took his eyes off the ball and went ‘celebrityating’ far too soon.
Now he is pushing a health care plan and no one (I mean NO ONE) has any idea how to pay for it.? Why not wait until you have the economy and unemployment under control before embarking on another trillion $$ spending spree.? And don’t forget the nightmare of Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.
Gosh I had high hopes for BHO.? But I am really disappointed and getting downright discouraged.? He isn’t making the same mistakes as Bush but he is making a whole bunch of new ones that are going to turn his popularity #’s into the same range as the those of the recent hockey playoffs.
Dangit!!? Stay home and work Mr. President there is a lot you aren’t doing yet!
Hope you are reading BHO . . . time to get? down to the real work.? Maybe even skip a date night with Michelle and pull an all-nighter!
“Save the cheerleader cheerleading” for the next term.? You got a whole ton of stuff that needs doing before you get your face carved into the blackhills, brother!!
