Let us consider the following from our President:
“And the truth is, what’s at stake in this debate, it’s not just our ability to solve this problem; it’s about our ability to solve any problem.”
Pondering this statement, I began to wonder who determines the problems needing to be solved? According to recent surveys it would most certainly not be the American People, as the most recent Gallup survey clearly illustrates both Unemployment and the Economy weigh heavier on the collective consciousness. So, why then is our President so singularly focused on the Healthcare initiative?
Being obvious now whom is deciding which hill to mount next, I began to wonder what is the rationale regarding importance of the destination. Clearly the primary issues of today pose little concern. So then Perhaps, being a true visionary, our fearless leader is focused on tomorrow, rather than today.
It would seem, here too the evidence is to the contrary, given that we are currently already in debt to China alone for nearly $890 Billion. A debt, which I might add, is a growing concern to the world community as concern over the impending collapse of our economy mounts. Of course, if that wasn’t cause enough for concern, perhaps the recent revelation that we may need a further loan of $2 Trillion to help cover impending budget deficit and new debt should be? One can only assume though, that budget deficit cannot be front of mind with our President, as even the CBO has demonstrated that the current Healthcare initiative will have a net impact on the Federal Deficit of $1.043 Trillion. Surely, these facts have escaped his notice…
So what, then, is the truth? Is it that our President is not only unconcerned with both the current and future worries of the American People, but is actively working to make those burdens greater? Or could it simply be that this is not about “our ability to solve any problem”, but rather about one mans inability to solve a single one? The truth is we are watching a man struggling with all his might to justify his historical, yet unworthy appointment to the highest office in the land. One must wonder, at what cost comes a legacy?
Interesting that you brought up Gallup today as it is the first time in Obama’s presidency that Gallup records more people DISAPPROVE than approve of Obama:

This measures what we have seen in poll after poll.
Obama sucks. Pity that the voters didn’t find out before they let this inexperienced radical into the White House.
I work in the financial industry on the technology side. In almost every case of a bad solution being delivered it turns out that the software wasn’t badly built. It is usually because the “problems” were not properly identified.
Because Obama’s view of America is so full of half truths and strawmen he simply can’t identify the real problems. Thus his “solutions” are disliked not just because they often won’t even solve the fake problems he invented but also because his “problems” are phoney. Just like him …
Exactly, Zero never grew up with us, he isn’t one of us, his view has been skewed all the way, his practical experience is non-existent and so is his practical sense. He never had to test his theories or live with the results. I see him as having just enough superficial knowledge and predigested talking points to be able to function well at any cocktail party and come off as capable, the ultimate schmoozer. Bet he was a horridly spoiled child who always knew how to game the grownups. His chances of getting something right are therefore pretty random, because very few problems are solved with pure BS.
That’s a good point, Jeff. I had never thought about it that way, but you’re absolutely right!
“A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding, when it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people’s business.” -Eric Hoffer (that pretty well sums up politicians and the One specifically)
Actually, I agree with Obama on this one:
it’s about our ability to solve any problem.”
Obama, his administration, and the Democrats have proven that they have no idea how to solve any of the problems facing America. Every “problem” they have attempted to “solve” – financial, diplomatic, employment, health care – they have botched and undoubtedly made worse. They are inept bunglers!
Actually, this is good news. If he fails to steal our health care, he will decide that the government can’t solve all problems and butt out.
Gotcha!!!!! Of course he won’t decide that.
Please don’t ever take anything this guy says seriously. He’s just saying stuff. There is no meaning behind any of it.
I contend now as always that the our pagan president needs healthcare alapelosi in-place so he can move on the same sex marriage issue. Once I cannot be denied coverage for a preexisting, then I can get my sodomites on my insurance plan at the taxpayers’ expense (a huge expense for these HIV meds). Fa la la la la.
Obama’s will go down in history as the world most expensive ego, costing the tax payers trillions dollars if his policies get passed.
Wish someone, anyone, be they a Congress member of a Senator would have the guts to say “look Obama, you have a proven pattern of fiscal irresponsibilty and theperfect example is…you have spent millions to prevent your self from handing over a $7.00 birth certificate”. “Why don’t you prove your fiscaly responsible and fork over the measly piece of paper”?…..
Has there been any other time in history whereas lowly members of Congress or Senate welded so much power over a President. Oops! Yes. Hense the record breaking pork the Democratic Congress spent, taking advantage of funding for troops during GWB’s term.
As I have mentioned in different blogs different times, you forget who’s side Obama is on. He wants to be king, and he can’t be king in a republic (we are not a democracy so please quit calling it that). If you look at it from HIS point of view you can understand why he isn’t worried about the economy or jobs. Eventually he can declare a NATIONAL EMERGENCY and take control of the country that way. ObamaCare is just another way of bringing the country down, and under his control. That is his #1 priority. Keep that in mind when he does what he does.
it might be WeaRD but what comes to mind is that all over the world there are forces that want AMERICA on their knees and become SUPERPOWER so if a weaken LEADER is not capable to discern thoses maneuvers and fall in to the ill advices given on the wrong side instead of looking at what the AMERICANS are demanding and they already detect the work of thoses forces from where they stand ,that is THE CONSTITUTION who put the country in guard long before what is happening now,
@ILUVB’s
I think what you are saying, is that the world used to look at America as the good “big brother”, now they see us as being a weak brother.
PATVANN i was more saying of the treath that AMERICA is facing with other nations that would like to become the super power if AMERICA is showing weakness’they will always test it,and some are already showing arrogance ,,,bye
Iluvb’s
I believe you are very correct.
