Isn’t it funny how things just don’t go away with Obama? Like Ghosts of Christmas past, specters keep rearing their ugly head. He just can’t seem to say “Mission Accomplished” with any certainty on anything. It doesn’t seem to matter the issue, things just keep on keeping back on him like bad heart burn.
Take health care. This was supposed to be a done deal. Now with Republicans controlling the House and the whole constitutionality of it all being taken to court, debate is alive and well again. Who would’ve foreseen the GOP regaining the house a scant two years after Obama was elected? Who would’ve guessed Obama would be back on his legal heels fighting with all his might to defend health care? With this issue so unpopular with Americans it is no wonder nor an accident that it has cropped up to the forefront again. In the courts, two more liberal judges sided with Obama’s legal stance that the Commerce Clause allows for health care to be legal. But this was a very poorly presented case by the opposition and those prosecuting were few in number as to the plaintiffs. The Virginia verdict was much more professionally presented in a complete manner and the more conservative judge agreed with the Constitution and the many states in on this matter and said no to Obama Care. The Supreme Court could put the nail in the coffin of Obama by Nov. 2012. Without the mandate that all must have healthcare and buy insurance, the whole house of cards falls.
Next, take immigration at the border. This issue rings home whenever a border officer dies, when another person is kidnapped in Arizona and when violence flares up on the border on either side. There’s no end in sight and Obama clearly has no answers. Now he must answer for it all in court. The results have been mixed but Arizona is not out of it by any stretch of the imagination. There is no end in sight because once again Obama is walking in murky waters trying to do away with a law in Arizona that would help curb illegal immigrants from getting what they don’t deserve.
Even global warming is taking a cold turn for Obama. When the recent Cancun meeting to advance an agenda for it took place, it took place in record cold temperatures for the area. There was little agreement on anything which once again underscores the fact that politics and money have more to do with the issue than a real concern for the environment. More and more people are waking up and becoming skeptical of the whole issue. This is especially true as more people see the pressing needs that are really facing us and they are beginning to question the whole idea of the “dangers” of global warming. Here again the debate is not over but is just beginning again.
Finally, look at Guantanamo. The place Obama loves to hate but now must hate to love. There is little doubt as to the wisdom of Bush’s establishing a place for these extremist terrorists and Obama cannot do Bush one better at all. Now Congress has severely limited his ability to move terrorists out of Gitmo to other countries or anywhere else. There is also a lid on spending until he has a plan. Clue to the clueless: He will never have a plan. His idea of trying terrorists in the US has quickly unraveled and it is all looking like an old sock with many holes in it and strings just waiting to be pulled.
Yes, reality has once again come back to kick Obama in the butt and make him realize job is not done until it is done. That is why he must keep doing these do overs again and again. Is it any wonder why he must take so many vacations?
