Is Our President Learning?

I think the only conclusion we can take from Obama’s latest speech is that the guy is incapable of learning. Maybe this is something we would have found out more easily if we had ever gotten to see his college record, but apparently no effort — no amount of screaming at him — can cause Obama to learn anything because after all of his complete failure to do anything with the economy he’s still talking up the exact same ideas — which are often not so much ideas as excuses.

Apparently, Obama is the only president in the history of the Republic to have not inherited a perfect economy from his predecessor and to have not had a super majority in Congress to get things passed. Because four years later, all he can talk about is the mess he inherited and how the Republicans won’t do everything he tells them. I think I remember some presidents having success after four years, so they must have had perfect conditions and a Congress that would rubber stamp all their ideas if they succeeded and super smart Obama didn’t.

Obama is a complete failure as president. This is not opinion; this is objective fact. A picture of him should be in the Wikipedia entry for “failed president.” He can’t lead and is completely useless by his own admission. To reelect him would be a complete mockery of the idea of democracy, but the whole point is not to be stuck with complete failures as leaders.

But maybe I’m being too harsh. I’m sure Obama can convince me of his competence. Maybe he can give another speech!

  2. Apparently, Obama is the only president in the history of the Republic to have not inherited a perfect economy from his predecessor and to have not had a super majority in Congress to get things passed.

    And, in fact, Obama had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for most of his first two years (after Arlen Specter changed parties and Al Franken was seated), and a President needs only a majority in the House, which does not allow filibusters. He used that filibuster-proof majority for one thing: a bill that may well be ruled unconstitutional this month.

    What a maroon.

  3. meh, I can’t be bothered to create an account for editing wikipedia. Someone who already does have an account should create an article for “Failed President” with Obama’s picture. It’ll be spectacular. Until those pansies at wikipedia take it down.
