GET A BIGGER SHOVEL

  GET A BIGGER SHOVEL

 Aaron David Miller, wrote Sunday, the 2nd of June, about the not so great performance of President, Barack Obama. I happen to agree with that assessment, but I do not agree that it is the fault of the people who elected him, or those that oppose him. And  I am not one of the slow learners you alluded to. I cast my vote against him. What in the name of truth and honesty are you trying to say, Aaron. Are you saying it is not his fault that he is a non performer. No one can make excuses for a President of the United States. He is the Commander in Chief. We expect him to be that. It is not the fault of the American populace that our president is incompetent. What do YOU expect from a community organizer, “You want fries with that”?
          Obama does not seem to have any trouble personally, with the presidency itself. He seems to actually enjoy the position of being free to come and go as he pleases, and to take four or five vacations a year. This is in addition to the too many golf outings he seems to make with regularity. This alone would get most CEO’s fired. Yet he continues to spend OUR money like it was growing on trees. Just flying Airforce One costs $700,000.00 dollars an hour. He flits about like a dragonfly all over the globe. Vacations, veiled as business trips and with him always goes another Airforce One and the secret service, just to add to the glut of expense he creates. There is one thing at which he excels. That is spending the taxpayers money
           We Expect more governance from him, and less social frolicking about. What we do not expect is some Presidential Faux Pas, such as bowing to some Saudi King to whom only greed is a quality of life. We do expect that he will bow in prayer to God, and will acknowledge God in his moments of solemn worship and Sunday Church attendance. We do expect that. We do expect that at the playing of the National Anthem, The President of the United States will honor the flag and stand at attention and recognize the flag of the greatest country on earth, Our Country!
We expect also that in moments of great drama such as the recent Benghazi attack against our Embassy, that he will not only be available but will also be involved in saving our ambassador and helping direct our troops as to how the matter is to be treated, immediately. He was however not involved in any action during that time. What was he doing?
           This president is anything but up close and personal, he is in fact so isolated from the real actual world events as to be dumfounded when one of the country’s most Powerful Agencies, The IRS is found to be misusing their powers to harass the populace of the country that elected him president. True these are very up close and personal matters that a good president should be in on, but he is not. He is however up close and personal with Tiger Woods, Union bosses, and IRS officials
           The Job is a big job, and for that we as a country pay the big bucks. He seems to like it so much that he is wading right into his second term, and the scandals and shocking truths that are coming from The State Department, The Treasury Department, The Justice Department, and The Defense Department. He has no compunction about admitting that he knows nothing what so ever about these scandals and or the malfeasances of these departments.

           He is just not a hero is he? Yes it is true, the evil Bin Laden was taken out on his watch, and he announced it. It is not as if we were not going to get him anyway, just as we did Hitler and Tojo, and other criminals and racketeers who threaten our way of life. But the actual slow learners depended on him to bring prosperity back. They thought for sure he could just go out and make jobs appear out of thin air. Free gas for their cars, free phones, free healthcare etc.They depended on him to get rid of the problems of prisoners of war by closing Gitmo. Funny how that won’t go away. It’s those pesky prisoners, nobody wants them. Now, we have all the problems of domestic shenanigans and scandals of the various departments which no one knows anything about.  and all those illegal aliens who keep wanting federal assistance. And good grief, have you seen the food stamp rolls nowadays. It’s just more than a normal American hero can deal with. And you are telling us it is the fault of the citizenry? Surely you jest Aaron. He is the one who had the shovel ready jobs that were waiting for them. Are you telling us there is no way to solve these menacing problems? Maybe HE needs to get a shovel, a bigger shovel.
Yet you suggest we lower our standards. How much lower can they go, We have elected a community organizer twice. What’s next ? The Ice Cream Vendor? We are running out of choices near the bottom. My thought would be to begin again and hire someone who actually knows what they are doing.  Our choices are limited, and they should not include Hillary Clinton, or Joe Biden.
           I really am shocked Aaron, by the statements to which your article alludes that we, the citizens of the greatest country the world has ever known, are at fault for our president’s poor performance. We are just trying to survive this present administrations gaffes and faux pas, enormously stupid health care bill, mammoth spending sprees, IRS, and Defense department blunders, conferences which exceed 50 million dollars in costs, and personal family vacations costing in excess of 5 million dollars each. Good Grief, will it ever end? Which one group of us is it that you wish to blame Aaron, the voters who put him there or the ones who want him gone. Gone would be my choice. When at least 53% of the population doesn’t like what he is doing, (permanent damage to our country) It would be better if we had no governance what so ever.
