About one thing<\/a>, doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019ll vote for him.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying I won\u2019t vote for him.\u00a0 But little he has done so far leaves me confident that he can be the inspiring leader to get down to America\u2019s core and help it with key problems.\u00a0 Certainly his half-handed, limp wristed stand behind various religious and social issues near and dear to my heart leaves me cautious.\u00a0 Yes, Obama has failed.\u00a0 Anyone but die hard Democrats and mainstream journalists can see the writing on the wall.\u00a0 Obama has not clue one what to do, seldom does anything, and when something is accomplished, it\u2019s usually because he pawned it off on Congress.\u00a0 And giving Congress something to do because you can\u2019t has to be about as low as you can go.\u00a0 Congress?\u00a0 Come on. <\/p>\n

He is indecisive.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost a joke when he goes around the world to throngs of adoring fans only to be told no by every government he visits.\u00a0 If he has a foreign policy, I can\u2019t recognize it.\u00a0 The only major thing he has accomplished has been his health care legislation, which most Americans don\u2019t want and most agree will help little and hurt much.\u00a0 He has continued to make strides for the Gay Rights movement.\u00a0 But otherwise, I\u2019m at a loss. The economy continues its ponderous lumbering in some direction, unemployment stagnant, inflation starting to become so obvious even the Fed might recognize it in the future, and gas prices are pretty much giving the middle finger to any attempt to keep them in check.<\/p>\n

Most of all, Obama has turned out to be a shockingly bland president.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t inspire.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t enthrall.\u00a0 He looks as if he is just hoping the next few years go by without anything major happening.\u00a0 Even when he came out following the death of Bin Laden, many argued he put too much on the table, sending mixed messages and making more chaos where it shouldn\u2019t have been.\u00a0 In short, he is a poor leader.\u00a0 And in a position like the presidency, one must be a great leader to be great.\u00a0 Sure, the MSM will do everything to spin the news and rewrite current events to keep him in office.\u00a0 But the harsh realities of our country, unless they make a major turn around, will speak louder than any news anchor. <\/p>\n

But in it all, he will be reelected if the GOP doesn\u2019t put someone in who is any better.\u00a0 And Romney, for all his business acumen, lacks much credibility in the eyes of many.\u00a0 Huckabee didn\u2019t stand a chance in our post-modern, anti-religious age.\u00a0 Palin and Bachmann are basically giving the White House back to Obama.\u00a0 Ron Paul has some ideas that are worth something, but his radical libertarianism and isolationist philosophies, added to a psychotic gleam in his eye during some interviews, doesn\u2019t make him the one I want near the button.\u00a0 It won\u2019t, and shouldn\u2019t be, Gingrich.\u00a0 If the GOP fields someone like that against family man Obama, expect well deserved charges of \u2018Hyopcirts!\u2019 to fly against the Republican party.\u00a0 So I dunno.\u00a0 I just know that for 16 years, presidents who had no business being reelected were reelected because the other side dropped the ball.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have to see if we can make it an even 24 years.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
