Obama Off Script

When Barak Obama is not reading from a teleprompter he has the audacity to say some hopelessly stupid things. I don’t even need to list them here, there have been quite a few. You are thinking them now whether or not you support Barak’s bid for the White House.


Given Barak’s propensity for gaffes, what makes people think that he’d be such a great, “Leader of the Free World.” He would be a big hit in Europe, he’s proven that already. However, I would like to remind you that the President does more than read from a teleprompter, and so far that seems to be the only thing Barak’s good at.


I know this sounds harsh, but it’s true. He’s boxed himself in by foregoing public campaign funds. I’m opposed to public financing of campaigns, if a candidate’s so great people will support him financially. I think that the only Campaign law necessary is transparency. McCain-Feingold just makes it harder to determine where the money comes from and it limits what individuals can do for a candidate they support. Who’s benefiting from an in depth knowledge of Campaign Law? Certainly not Obama.


Notice that there hasn’t been any benchmark legislation with “Obama” attached to it? I know he’s authored a couple of books about himself. Pretty well written I understand. Why hasn’t he applied this creative potential to reforming Washington? Why hasn’t he brought about change? He hasn’t even tried in the office that he currently holds why would he think that we should give him a higher one?


I’m not a journalist, I’m a blogger. From where I sit (In my bath robe) Obama doesn’t present a very convincing picture of Presidential eloquence, unless of course you compare him to the current occupant of the White House. I’m sure that that’s exactly what Obama wants because he doesn’t match up very well with either slot on the Republican ticket.
