Obama Is Incompetent!
Everything he does makes things worse. He has pledged to BANKRUPT the coal industry, even though there is nothing on the horizon to replace it and our energy system DEPENDS on it. He thinks Israel is “the problem” in the Middle East, though they have been attacked from every side and are ENTITLED to defend themselves. He disparages and wants to excessively tax the very people who CREATE all the jobs, making it more difficult to do so. States wish to control their borders against intrusion by not only Mexicans, but by Muslim extremists who want to blow us up for not believing exactly the same as they do, and Obama’s forces in the White House SUE them, saying they have NO RIGHT to demand he enforce the law. Liberals in Washington (and Obama) say federal law trumps state law when the Constitution plainly says otherwise. He guaranteed a half-Billon dollar loan to a "green energy" company even though his advisers TOLD him was a "risky venture" and which has declared bankruptcy after the first year in business, meaning WE (the taxpayers( have to make it good. This when he has SPENT all our money. (Just common sense)

I had a hard time finding an approproate thread for this, but did you see this? This is "Do as I tell you; not as I do" obama practice.
"Special Michelle Hawaii Flight Would Cost Thousands
by Keith Koffler on December 8, 2011, 7:29 am
President Obama’s decision to send Michelle and his daughters to Hawaii ahead of him if he is delayed by a fight with Congress could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of extra dollars to fund two separate vacation flights and related costs. The move would also violate the intent of an executive order he issued just last month urging federal employees to cut back on expenses like travel.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that Obama told Senate Democratic leaders during a White House meeting that he would delay his scheduled December 17 departure for Hawaii to keep Congress in town until it extends the payroll tax holiday. Said Reid:
I’ll paraphrase it, but I’m pretty close. He said, ‘Michelle and the girls are going to have a great time in Hawaii. They don’t need me there.’
But sending his family ahead of him could easily cost taxpayers an added $100,000, and possibly much more.
Last year, when Obama was delayed by Congress, Michelle left early for Hawaii, and the cost of her separate flight alone totaled about $63,000. This did not include related security and staff costs or the money for a cargo plane that may trail the first lady’s jet on such a trip.
Obama joined Michelle a few days after she landed in Hawaii, and they extended their vacation past their scheduled return date to make up for the president’s lost vacation time.
Sending Michelle to Hawaii ahead of him this year would provide the first lady a convenience that Obama himself is trying to deny government workers.
In an executive order issued Nov. 9 titled “promoting efficient spending,” which was touted by the White House as a sign of Obama’s commitment to cut the deficit, Obama instructed agencies to try to avoid unnecessary plane trips.
. . . to ensure efficient travel spending, agencies are encouraged to devise strategic alternatives to Government travel, including local or technological alternatives, such as teleconferencing and video conferencing. Agencies should make all appropriate efforts to conduct business and host or sponsor conferences in space controlled by the Federal Government, wherever practicable and cost effective.
Perhaps a nice “strategic alternative” for the first lady would be to cool her heels at the lovely Camp David, just a short chopper ride from the White House."

Anon: Obama doesn't care about that, He looks upon the White House Travel Office as an ATM to take as many "vacations" at our expense as he can while still president. That includes his wife, who thinks when she sits on the pot it doesn't stink up the room. They both think they're better than we are.
Nothing would give me more satisfaction than obama et al suffering a truly humiliating defeat in 2012 with a Republican being elected by a landslide vote that clearly tells the obamas to take a long hike off a short pier. What really irks me is that American taxpayers will be paying for their lavish retirement for the rest of their lives just because he was once president.
Anon: Ah, well. At least he won't be making our decisions for us any more.
But I bet that like Clinton he will never go away. We will still have to see his face on TV and listen to the sewage that he spews.
Anon: Like Old Soldiers, "Old Presidents" never go away, even when they die. The good thing is, we don't have to look at their ugly mugs as often.
And that will be a huge relief - - including not having to look at the Wookie's face.
Anon: I always look elsewhere.
