‘Failure of Leadership.’

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  August 10th, 2011 at 07:00 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Fresh from the creative mind of our own Ben Howe comes this latest reminder of precisely how badly we messed up the 2008 Presidential election by picking one of the most inexperienced candidates in history (both in terms of resume, and temperament) to run the country. The entertaining part?  Ben didn’t need much more besides a bunch of newspapers clippings and the President’s own words.  Turns out that the n-dimensional genius currently in the White House forgot that nothing he’s ever said is ever, ever going to go away anymore:

By ‘we’ I mean the ‘United States of America,’ of course. Just because President Obama doesn’t like to ever take responsibility* for… well, anything… doesn’t mean that we get to do that, too.

Moe Lane

PS: Ben’s too modest to ask, but he’d welcome feedback.

*Some might be surprised to hear that, seeing that the President supposedly was ready to take responsibility in 2009:

…but that’s easily understood: President Obama was lying through his teeth, then.  It’s much easier to blame everybody else.

    Very well done.

  • grumpy_old_soldier

    …YOU GOT IT!

    I never thought that so much profound ignorance and galactic stupidity could be packed into one teleprompter!!

  • chbroussard

    a lot of the blame needs to be placed right in the lap of Americans who voted for this empty suit. Yes, you Americans who voted for this man for whatever reason—he was the first African American to run for president…he was cool…he was a rock star…he sounded so sincere…whatever your reason, you got played like Charlie Daniels’ fiddle. And now we’re all paying for it.

    All anyone needed to do was take 15 or 20 minutes to do a little searching on the net to see what this guy stood for, listen to the news for 30 minutes, look at the people he surrounded himself with not only when he was a Senator but in his youth. It was all there…right in front of you if you had just taken a little bit of time out of your busy schedules to spend a little time on something that was really important.

    For those Americans that voted to put this man in office, you get no sympathy from me. For those of us that did not, my sympathies because we are all in one hell of a mess.

    McCain has more experience than any of the others that were offered. The main reason he lost was because America was tired of the failures from the Right.

    Trickle down Economics, Voodoo math, fuzzy math, cut and Borrow. All from the Right, and all have caused more debt than they have paid.

    I have been watching very closely, and the Right has yet to have any viable candidates. Palin? Bachmann? Perry? Or the last class of losers thrown back into the arena.

    America will never again allow the likes of Bush to sit in the Oval Office. And that’s all the Right has.

    I still want anyone from the Tea Party to explain to me how Cut, Cap and Balance will work in the real world. Not one state can balance their budgets without getting money from Washington. None of them.

    If America is hit with a natural disiaster like Japan was, how will we pay for it if we are under a BBA? What about a Firestorm like we face every year, only much larger? How can we pay for the next World war when China finally attacks us, which will happen within the next 20 years?

    Not one person has been able to answer these questions. Which is why the Tea party is without a doubt the worse thing to ever happen to America.

  • zooage

    Why doesn’t the right remember the many times Bush used a teleprompter?
    Do you honestly think that he never used one? The Right just chose to ignore them until Obama came to office. They were even used during the Raygun term.

    At least be honest about the hatred of Obama. He has extended his hand to the Right many times, and his gotten bit every time. They have never wanted to work together for America, just work for their Party.

    Americans are tired of their Partisan Politics. We want Congress to work for all of us, not just the Right.

  • zooage

    Most of the blame should fall to those that ignored the debt their party was amassing.

    Bush II managed to amass 45% of our total debt by himself. Yet the Right re-elected him, and supported him. He left 12 trillion in debt!

    Now the Right stands in the way of progress at every turn. They refuse to work with the Dems. at all, and would rather our economy fail than allow Obama to fix it.

    It doesn’t take much to ignore the truth, nor to hold the Party Line. It takes a real American to work together for our Nation, and there are none left in the GOP.

    After 50 years in politics, I have never seen such hatred from any Party. Is it any wonder nothing gets done in DC when the Base acts like children? It can be seen here with every post I read.

    I wonder how long they will allow me to post here before someone wants me banned. I obey the rules, but the Right refuses to have their limited views questioned on their own sites. happens every time,

  • gekster

    Don’t let it hit ya in the can.

  • lineholder

    to extend his hand to the right? Was it when he referred to us as “the enemy”, perhaps? Was that it?

  • luvnthebigsites

    OK I’ll bite, So the CCB will never fly you claim… And your plan is?

  • lineholder

    Not anywhere close to what Obama has accumulated, though. And still President Obama continues to talk about “spending our way out of debt”. Does that sound like a solution to the problem to you?

  • gekster

    with the economy besides spend more than we have.
    How will spending lower our debt

  • gekster

    then every pPresident from George Washington to George Bush.
    That is an undeniable fact.

  • snowshooze

    Actually a useful tool, but to depend on one to order dinner at McDonalds… shows you have to have someone generate every word you speak for you.

  • ceili_dancer

    All of the times when he spoke away from the TOTUS. When he mentions income redistribution to Joe the Plumber. When he mentions some people make enough money when talking about tax structures. Also, the failure of mentioning endowed by their creator in the Declaration of Independence. I would say the list is endless, but he does not travel far from his security blanket for the above reasons.

  • snowshooze

    Maybe a shovel, and chest waders…I never seen it piled si high..

  • http://www4.webng.com/rickbull/lostlucky/ rickbull

    Which is what he/she is spewing around here.

    Don’t forget, it’s pointless to try and reason with a liberal, because they have none.

  • snowshooze

    Ah, ya know the Obaminator program guy.
    I expected him to stop by here first, I don’t know if zoofy here is one of the boy toys or not.. but this is what I expected.
    Ok… I am all done with him… I had my fun and will shortly regain my marginally good manners now.

  • gekster

    and crap on the floor.
    He’s probably telling his liberal friends right now how he outsmarted all those right wing nuts on the most popular conservative website.
    I noticed he didn’t answer any questions posed to him.
    I guess he’s a web suicide bomber.
    He will probably be back to try and blow himself up again.

  • kattail

    during… Obamacare? Appointment of czars/judges (pre 2011)? The off-shore drilling moratorium? When Arizona intended to control it’s borders for the protection of it’s citizens? Allowing KSM to be tried in civilian court?…..

  • acat

    Don’t forget to wipe your feet, folks. Let’s not track any more of that in here.

    Looks like you are hitting your stride at just the right time. One of your best.

    Seriously. You’re doing it wrong.

    Shoo.

    Those who can, do.

    Those who can’t do, teach.

    Those who can’t teach, teach gym.

    Those who can’t teach gym, become liberal politicians.

    Those who can’t become liberal politicians, blog for the Huffington Post.

    Those who can’t write for HuffPo, become trolls on conservative web sites.

    back when he first started running for President. I couldn’t make up my mind if I disliked him or Hillary more, but the more I learned the more i recognized that this guy was Trouble.

    He claims he reaches out to the Right — the only times I have seen that, he was laying a trap for them. Betrayal is his middle name, or it would be if it wasn’t Hussein.

    Obama isn’t exceptionally bright; I’d put him at about average. What does it say about the average Republican senator that they jump eagerly into the traps set for them by this character? Are they stupid, naive, or just looking for an excuse?
