A Presidential Report Card – Part Two

Written : July 13, 25, Aug. 10, 2010

President Bush played way too much golf. They called him a detached leader and a lazy, rich boy. Did you know that from his inauguration in Jan. 2009 until July 16, 2010, President Obama played 41 rounds of golf, smashing Bush’s eight-year total of 24 by 17? Of course, instead of criticism, his administration said his golf games were good for all of us.

Suffering with the bad economy? Don’t worry, the wealthy Obamas aren’t even close to feeling your pain. Believe it or not, the president calls this summer the “Summer of Recovery,” and the First Lady, Michelle Obama just took a luxurious vacation at a resort in Spain – on your dime. Meanwhile, President Obama shot hoops with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Carmelo Anthony, while NBA retired star Bill Russell watched. How understanding and sensitive they are to America’s plight!

The current administration prosecuted an entire state, Arizona, for non-existent racism, but won’t prosecute racists shown on video in militant garb bearing billy clubs and intimidating voters. One of the New Black Panthers seen breaking the law was shown in another video saying that for Blacks to be free, they have to kill white babies. Where’s the logic?

The presidential gaffs have been embarrassing. He’s shaken hands with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, wants a dialogue with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, bowed to world leaders, and implied it’s bad to visit Las Vegas. The president’s administration removed Faisal Shahzad from the travel watch list as it began dismantling terror investigations begun under President Bush. Shahzad then almost destroyed Times Square in New York with a car bomb. I’d say President Barack Obama has been a colossal failure so far, wouldn't you? I dislike his attitude and most of his policies.

Hoping the Enemy is Someone Else

Written : May 9 and 11, 2010

Regarding the latest terror attempt, why don’t those with access to the media wait before speculating about who the perpetrators are? New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (with Katie Couric’s encouragement), guessed the latest bomber would most likely be homegrown. If the billionaire mayor were a betting person, he said he’d put a quarter on somebody with a political agenda, possibly someone who didn’t like the health care bill. Contessa Brewer, an anchor at MSNBC, said she hoped it would not turn out to be a Muslim. Why? A few days later, Jim Acosta, a CNN anchor, showed how out of touch he was by explaining Faisal Shahzad, the suspect, recently lost his job and his house was foreclosed on… So what, would that make you blow up Times Square?

On Sep. 9, 2009, Najibullah Zazi’s ‘martyrdom operation’ to ignite an explosive device in the New York City subway was thwarted. Less than two months later, on Nov. 5, Nidal Hasan opened fire inside Fort Hood, a U.S. Army base, killing 13 and wounding 30. On Christmas Day 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was caught before he could detonate a bomb in his underwear on an airplane. More than five months after Dec. 25, Faisal Shahzad was unsuccessful in setting off a car bomb in NYC’s Times Square.

All of these events (and many others) were planned by religious fanatics, true? None were tea party people, none were alienated loners, and all were Muslims, correct? I hope it never happens again, but why would anyone try to place blame on any person or group before knowing? Why would they ‘hope’ it was or was not someone from a specific group? Watch for it, someone will speculate next time, too. Who will they prematurely accuse? It could be humorous, or you may be shocked, it might be you!
