With Obambi, the buck stops...

...at the doe...

Does anyone else find it amazing how when news doesn't reflect kindly on the president, that it's someone else's fault? Recently, the president decided to recreate the panic of 9/11 by flying "Scare Force One" through New York City (perhaps he's jealous that Bushitler enjoyed higher approval ratings than he did) for a "photo op." He took responsibility, after denying he knew anything about the flyover, by blaming a staffer in the White House Military Office for the panic, but not for the $330K in taxpayer waste. For all his Shelleian effect on the English language, former President Bush was at least the "Decider," and realized he was responsible for everything his administration engaged in. Of course, that's not the only thing that he wants absolution of responsibility from...

It should be common knowledge by now that the president does not like hard questions. Throughout the campaign, it was shown that questions that leave the president pining for an answer are efforts at subtle racism, or engaging in "Republican campaign tactics." As Dennis Miller said, "we're living in odd times when Miss California gets tougher questions than the president..." In his 100th Day Celebration, there were no questions about Monday's widespread panic, in fact, the media worked overtime to absolve him of any responsibility (the wisdom of Ann Coulter shines through again...). Either the media realizes, or is just that dumb, that covering for Obama's naïveté will wind up costing this nation dearly in the long run. I'm all about holding our elected officials accountable, and I had no problem with valid (and I stress the word, valid) criticisms of Bush policy. Amurican lives and our interests, as well as the lives of others around the globe, are at stake...it is not the time to coddle a president that the media should have "vetted," instead of letting him grow into the job.

It's one thing to have a confident leader, it's another to have a leader who believes that he does no wrong. Without considering the facts, the president has decided that methods, that proved useful in gathering intel, were not as useful as other methods, whose failure rate has yet to be determined, and deemed them illegal. This is a move, not to keep Amuricans safe, but to cater to people who despise Amurica and its ideals, like European pacifists and the Code Pink crowd. He cannot ascertain beyond a reasonable doubt that CIA officials could have extracted useful intel using methods other than waterboarding, the caterpillar, or the ladybug. It amazes me how liberals, who in one breath, claim to love this country more than conservatives do, and in another, bitch and moan when certifiably useful methods are used to keep the nation safe.

Liberals use the canard that they will stand strong in a time bomb ticking scenario. This is odd, when they give pause to a scenario like, a knife-wielding man is approaching your family and your only weapon against him is a handgun. Do you use it? Based on their arguments in the "War on Terrah" "Battle on Man-Made Disasters" debate, liberals will try to reason with the knife-wielding man as he slashes their family to pieces. Liberals cannot name an alternate method they would use to gather intel, but have deemed the proven ones as "torture." Obviously, they believe that legality is relative...like all their other central beliefs.

...so I wonder, when will we get a president, instead of a person continuing to campaign for the office?

Have a great day...
