One of the things that stood out the most to me during last night’s interview, which preceded the Super Bowl, was when O’Reilly asked Obama, “OK. Worst part of this job? What’s the worst, absolute worst part of being president of the United States?”
Obama’s response was, “Worst part of the job is, first of all, I’ve got a jacket on on Super Bowl Sunday…If I wasn’t president, that would not be happening. The biggest problem for me is being in the bubble. It’s very hard to escape. You know, you can’t go to the corner…”
I think his response reflected a selfish weakness and frustration with his tendency to only see short-term goals, which only seem to set America even further back in the long run. And, short-term goals that wreak havoc in the long-term are parallel with every idea set forth by Communism. A “Too good to be true” utopian idea is always followed by a worse circumstance than that which brought it on to begin with. This is not ideology; it is proven history. And in a case, such as health care reform, it looks radiant on the surface, but there is so much more to it that is not being acknowledged.
Here are a few things Barack Obama could have said as the leader of our nation that would have been a little less insensitive than his pouting about having to wear a suit jacket on Sundays:
The worst thing about this job is the responsibility of writing letters of condolence to the parents, brothers, and sisters of fallen men and women who fought so bravely for our country.
The worst thing about this job is enduring that fifty percent of America disapproves of me and that if I had not been so radical and one-sided that perhaps I could have easily won a second term in 2012, by appeasing at least just another ten percent of the public.
The worst thing about this job is having to spend so much taxpayer money, which does not yet even exist, to come through with my farfetched promises I had campaigned on---and to see those dollars go nowhere in proportion to the exuberant amounts that were spent…that is the hardest thing about being president of the United States of America.
How about saying that our unwavering unemployment rate, which he has fought with money from our pockets, and our children’s pockets, to no avail, sets his heart beside itself with the reality that maybe there are some better answers and approaches?
Instead, Barack Obama’s response began with, “I’ve got a jacket on on Super Bowl Sunday,” and it ended with, “It’s very hard to escape.”

In an interview, Bush said that Kanye West's comments about him being racist was one of the most disgusting parts of his presidency. When Cindy Sheehan lost her son in the Iraq war she wanted to meet face to face with Bush. Bush, who took a 5 week vacation at his ranch, refused to meet her while she camped outside his ranch at that time.

You can't get much more insensitive than that. I had all but forgotten about that story. Up until January of 2011, Bush fell off the grid completely before marketing his book.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was just responding to your post on Obama's answer to O'rielly's interview. It seems like the same people who never criticized Bush are now being uber critical of Obama.
