What a Ride This Administration Has Taken Us On!
 
Where to begin? Leaving out a plethora of items let's simply discuss some recent loops and turns on this roller coaster of a presidency:

Attorney General Eric Holder was an embarrassment at a recent Congressional hearing when pressed by Senator Lindsey Graham on whether Osama bin Laden, if captured, would have to be read Miranda rights. He couldn't even defend one of the most disastrous decisions made by any administration.

Just last week it was reported that stimulus money was allocated to congressional districts that don't even exist. So-called jobs created, jobs saved reports have been discovered to be grossly overstated.

To date we have yet to get a straight answer regarding healthcare legislation.

The president's trip to China was a bust when he appeared weak. Obama went to China and brought home a T-shirt.

This admin vacillates on the economy, the War on Terror, deficit spending, the devalued dollar, and so-called "czar" appointments.

This administration is seriously more dysfunctional than I thought it would be.

Yes, it's a mess.
The world is watching.
Terrorists are watching as well and so do the nut cases in Iran.
The US is at it's weakest point in history because of this left wing comedy in Washington.

If it were a play by Shakespeare, I am afraid it would actually be in the "tragedy" genre.

There is just nothing funny at all about this three ring circus that calls itself an administration.

I heard a conversation the other day as to when the next terrorist attack in America would be. Many outside the US view your pres as a weak man.

A Ron Reagan would be good right now.

Or John Wayne,


Or....?

Wait, both of them are dead.

A country song said... "Who's gonna fill their shoes?"

You heard it here first, 'the biggest security risk to our nation is the current President!'

The reason I call it a "comedy" is because our enemies are laughing.
They think it's a comedy.
We think it's a tragedy.

All too true.

I often turn off Fox news or Rush or Glenn because it's just too depressing...........

Here's what is so frustrating to me: elections have consequences and soooooo many American voters do not vote with an informed mind. So many vote on emotion or image or because they're mad at the ruking party, etc. So many do not take the time to consider the issues, the candidates policies, their record, information that points to dangerous patterns or dubious associations. Shallow attributes like, "he's a good speaker" or "he's handsome" or "he and his wife make a cute couple" or "he makes me feel good" or any number of inane rationalities for voting for a candidate are justifications for casting a ballot for a candidate.

We warn people. We point to words in books, speeches, papers, etc and we say "He'll take the country in the wrong direction" but we are ignored. Look people we aren't even complete with the first year of this presidency and we are in far more serious trouble than under Bush-Cheney at any time during their tenure.

Hate to say we told you so but....:)

I have to admit that this ride is even worse than the nonsense GWB took us on.
