Last night's address wasn't aimed at political junkies and political junkie pundits.
and since that's where Obama tends to wallow he was like a fish out of water....hence.... "i don't sense executive command." from his most ardent supporters.
You know what? I am far more upset by the tragedy unfolding in the Gulf than I am upset by Obama. Obama has pretty well proved that he is a party and union hack without a clue how to deal with foreign affairs, how to fix the economy, or how to go about finding experts to plug the hold in the Gulf and mitigate the damages. His rants about the Arizona Law when he had never even had a telephone conversation with the Arizona Governor is his M.O. Speak. Wait and do nothing for weeks. Then pretend he has been acting all along.
We had offers from real experts to deal with the oil leak within three days of the explosion. All were rejected and continue to be rejected. For him to now expound on how 'all resources are being brought into play to deal with it' is not only ludicrous, it insults the intelligence of any American who still thinks.
And for him to rush headlong into Cap & Tax on the now tedious platform that 'it won't wait' while the economy is still mired in recession and 30 to 60 barrels of oil continues to foul the Gulf waters and beaches every day is so over the top I can't imagine how ANYBODY can support that.
I hope MSNBC is cleaning up its act and will start actually reporting the news again. Fox News has gotten a bit lazy lately I believe and needs some good competition to sharpen its edge.
And if the Fourth Estate starts doing its job again, we might just inform enough people of the real deal that they will see to it that we start fixing problems instead of just creating bigger ones.
