Once upon a time, there was a word that had always been used to describe the demeanor of the Commander in Chief of the United States of America.  That word was Presidential.  Decorum, honor, calm under pressure and the distinction to soothe the troubled masses, all citizenry yearning to be free, who are earning livings, providing for their families, keeping their heads above water and paying their own way.  A leader for ALL the people.  In not much time, the American Way of Life has for all practical purposes disappeared from the landscape. 

How great that so soon after 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, a man named Barack Hussein Obama could be elected present!  No more racial guilt!  Fat Chance.  No. 44 may possess all the coolness, hipness and awesomeness of a media created rock star, but to many of us, his incompetence overshadows whatever dingy light his lop-sided halo casts on his jutting glass jaw and that annoying, arrogant lift of his chin. 

prezbo mesmerized oh-so-many people into believing he was a uniter and would bring the country, the world together in harmony.   He lied!  The country is very dividied and agitated, more than ever before.  He has done nothing to reach out to the right, even though he is supposed to represent ALL of the people.  He swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.  On obamaguration day, he choked the oath without his TOTUS close by and had to take it again the next day.  With cue cards, no doubt.  The MSM willingly put the flub on Chief Justice Roberts.  prezbo dissed the National Day of Prayer, an American tradition since 1952, but he was in full "I`m So Cool" mode two days later for the WHCD, snidely blaming Bush for his mandatory presence there, too.  It should  also be noted again he enjoyed all the adulation for him and the slams on ex President Bush in particular, and other Conservatives in general.  
    
The United States of America is flat out broke.  prezbo finally admitted it in an interview on CSPAN, this Memorial Day Weekend.  (As an aside, was it just me, who does his makeup?  Cakey, and what was with the eye shadow?)  The country has to try to continue borrowing money to finance the deficit but no one in his right economic mind wants to lend to any nation which is in hock for over ELEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS!   About to lose that AAA rating to boot .... Meanwhile, tax revenues are down so he wants to raise the taxes!  Yes!  Barack Hussein Obama is about to announce a massive tax increase on corporations and estates to continue to fund his giveaway programs.  You know, his spreading the wealth around to the 40 percent or more who pay no taxes, just to be fair. This is before the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010!  Taxes on employers and employees who receive company sponsered health insurance to pay for those who don`t work and, therefore, don`t have health insurance.  Increased taxes on daddy`s six pack and other alcohol purchases are waiting for their cue to enter Stage Left.  And how about a tax on that soda the kids drink once or twice a week?  What`s wrong with plain old water?  Well, hell!  There`s a hefty tax on that, too!  Don`t forget the energy taxes that will kick in if the cap and trade bill passes.  We could be going back into the truly dark ages.  Candles give out carbon dioxide, too, don`t they?  

pbho has been busy.  He has strongarmed and virtually destroyed the US auto industry, forcing bankruptcies, firing and hiring CEOs at whim and giving massive power and control to the UAW, and major parts of the pension funds of teachers, policemen and firemen.   He has threatened those who oppose him with vilification  by the WH press corps.   He has mandated designs for cars and emission standards that will kill the industry once and for all.  He forced banks to accept TARP money and now refuses to accept repayment so not to relinquish control.  We must never forget the bus loads of angry agitators who stormed the neighborhoods of AIG executives, frightening their neighbors, families and children., only because they had been paid bonuses which were contractually awarded to them.  Community organizing at its best  This is only the warmup for the Community Organizer in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama. 

On the plus side, Madame Speaker had a meltdown when she took on the CIA and accused them of lying.  No end of delight watching her squirm.  They may have had to up her medication.  Another light and inspiring moment for the Conservative cause has been former VP Cheney, speaking out in defense of the Bush Administration and Gitmo.  prezbo was so overwhelmed by the simple presentation of the flat facts and 90 Senators refusing to fund an alternative until he presented a concrete plan for closure, he raced out to upstage Mr. Cheney`s scheduled speech.  prezbo sorely disappointed and instead gave a rambling tutorial about how he was so overwhelmed and governing and decision making are so hard.  Vice President Cheney`s thoughtful remarks were not so much a rebuttal as a personal conversation reinforcing the difficult decisions that had to be made to calm and protect a terrified American public after the tragedies of September 11.

While prezbo was on the neverending campaign trail, and the financial markets melted down, the ever stalwart John McCain suspended his activities and returned to DC to do whatever it is Senators do when there is a crisis. (Nothing?) Candidate B Hussein O scoffed at McCain and said he could do it by phone, he could multi-task.  Well, Cheeky Monkey begs to differ there.  Last week, a bus load of 100 kindergardeners arrived a little late for a WH tour due to traffic.  They were turned away at the gate to the White House or "People`s House," as fb micHelle calls it.  No one was even available to bring BO (the dog, not the man) down for a photo op.  No cookies, no ice cream nor Koolaid for them! Back on the bus, Kiddies!  The incident has been blown off as just the beginning of so many disappointments they will experience in life.  Not to mention the major deficit they`ll be inheriting!  So what if their parents had to come up with $20 each for the trip?  prezbo had to meet the Steelers.  The football team who won the Super Bowl, all adults, all used to running late, except on game days or for flight schedules and for the most part, they all love little kids. 

Don`t have access to Rush on the radio but on his website he said it would have been an awesome experience for everyone to have the kids come in and help the Steelers pack the care packages for the troops.  Maybe next time ....
