Is it Just Me or is this Room Shrinking?

With little or no surprise to anyone, the utter amateurishness of the Obama Administration is coming through loud and clear.  Only now there are, like with any misbehaving child, consequences. Take Obama for example… no please, really… take him. Seriously, it is hard to watch as Obama teeters on the brink of incompetency into irrelevance. First, he acts as an outsider watching the events in Egypt unfold; after all, I am sure he believes in Egyptian exceptionalism like he believes in American exceptionalism.  Then he is suddenly the power broker trying to ease Mubarak out and usher in a new government. This on the heels of our beloved VP Joltin’ Joe Biden saying that Mubarak is not really a dictator-- there’s that foreign policy know-how we still haven’t seen!

As Obama must act like a President instead of a Messiah, I am sure this is a humbling experience for him. I mean, why doesn’t he just go over there, orate his magic words to the people of Egypt and all is better? Hmmm. Reality is coming back to bite him in the butt again. Now he must act accordingly to avoid being seen like that evil George Bush who cozied up to corrupt people like China’s leader Zhou—hey, wait a minute, wasn’t Zhou just here with the royal treatment from Obama? Nah, couldn’t have been. Then Zhou was that guy?

 Look at health care, now. I know it hurts, but just look at it. It now appears to be a house of cards that is one judgment away from going the way of the dodo bird. At least the dodo bird showed some sign of viable life while it was here. If the Supreme Court somehow doesn’t manage to put a stake through health care’s heart, the states, at least 26 of them, are working to stop it in the courts any way they can. It must really hurt to be the national legal piñata, Barack.

On Wednesday, a court ruled that the Obama Administration (I use that last term loosely; should be more like clown car) showed contempt in reimplementing the oil moratorium after it was struck down in court. Yep, Barack, that judge just gave you a beat down!

Now unemployment is back up, inflation is rearing its head, Egypt is in chaos, Social Security is going broke for sure by 2037… Good thing we have such a smart guy in the White House.
