barack’s bored

it’s only the beginning of the 2nd year of barack obama’s term as president. it’s also about the time he historically starts to get itchy feet and looks for a bigger, better gig. here is a brief timeline of his elected work history and it’s very telling:

1996: Elected Illinois state senator
2000: Ran for US House of Representatives (defeated in primary)
2002: Began running for US Senate
2004: Elected US Senator
2006: Began running for President
2008: Elected President

hmm. every 2 years. if the most powerful, exciting job on the planet is boring to you then what can possibly make you happy? with everything at his disposal, some are suggesting that barack obama’s string of humiliating defeats — which have included special elections, the olympics, healthcare reform, and now thankfully the ksm trial — has caused him to become bored as POTUS, not quite as invested ‘in the game’ as he used to be.

i have no problem with people who are ambitious about their goals. and i certainly understand that whoever is in power has tools at their disposal to push through their agenda for the country. i get that. but i expect that same person to have a clue on how they will move forward and govern even though there has been setbacks and their ‘plans’ have been uprooted by we the people. a bored president is a dangerous president.

check out this excerpt from byron york:

By mid-2006, Majority Leader Harry Reid “sensed his frustration and impatience, had heard rumblings that Obama was already angling to head back home and take a shot at the Illinois governorship,” write Mark Halperin and John Heilemann in the new book Game Change. Reid knew “Obama simply wasn’t cut out to be a Senate lifer.”

According to the book, the majority leader invited Obama to his office for a talk. “You’re not going to go anyplace here,” Reid told Obama. “I know that you don’t like it, doing what you’re doing.” Reid suggested Obama run for president. Obama had been a senator for all of 18 months at the time. Soon after, he was off and running.

What drove Obama was not just ambition, although he is certainly ambitious. As he became frustrated in each job, Obama concluded that the problem was not having the power to do the things he wanted to do. So he sought a more powerful position.

Today he is in the most powerful position in the world. Yet he has spent a year struggling, and failing, to enact far-reaching makeovers of the American economy. So now, even in the Oval Office, there are signs that the old dissatisfaction is creeping back in.

At a Jan. 17 Martin Luther King Day event at Washington’s Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Obama brought up the fact that many people see him as almost preternaturally calm. “I have a confession to make,” Obama said. “There are times I’m not so calm … when progress seems too slow … when it feels like all these efforts are for naught, and change is so painfully slow in coming, and I have to confront my own doubts.”

Obama said it to be inspirational, but the fact is, in the past, that’s when he looked for a new job.

good grief. if barack obama didn’t realize that all of the power, all the hype & imagery, and of course personal massive ego awesomeness in the world was no guarantee that he and his thugs could run over the country with their singularly distructive agenda, he really is an arrogant, empty-suited boy king.

hey barack: i don’t know if you’re bored with all of us, but we’re so bored with you. work is hard, finishing well is a good goal to have, and winning elections has consequences.

    Geez, Obama, you’re wrecking the country at a record pace, I would have thought you would have been pleased with how fast its going.

    This is slanderous and WISHFUL THINKING.

  • Ken says:

    Brilliant, Jane…..simply brilliant.

  • Blaylock says:

    F/U. Before you start throwing stones at the President, why do you look at the Queen of Quitters, Sarah Palin.

  • micky says:

    Hey Blaylock.
    If Palin is so irrelevant andsuch a quitter please tell me why you guys even bother worrying about her ?
    She didnt quit. She put herself right where she knew it would bug the sht out of you guys the most.
    NYTs bestseller list and a contributor to your favorite channel.
    Quit ?… Shes only getting started bro and as a result you guys are being left with nothing to do but post the idiotickind of sht you just posted.
    By the way, why should anyone throw stones at Palin ? Shes not the one who created this clusterfck you guys call an administration.

    Famous last words…”the system worked”

  • lisab says:

    now come on guys … give credit where credit is due

    barack is married to michelle obama

    there are men who stormed the beaches on d-day that would not have courage to wake up next to a wookie like her.

    plus he is tall.

  • lisab says:

    also, name one other president that had to be sworn in twice?

  • lisab says:

  • Ken says:

    “F/U.”

    No thanks, Barack has f***ed me enough, thank you.

    “Before you start throwing stones at the President, why do you look at the Queen of Quitters, Sarah Palin.”

    Because Palin is not ruining the country, B.O. is. Why don’t you try to stick to the subject and post something that is halfway intelligent? Or is that too much too ask of you?

    “btw, i am doing laundry tonight, and i think gene should pay for it”

    LOL!!!

  • micky says:

    he,ll probably offer to do it in his moms basement.
    I wouldnt let him near the lingerie

  • Shannon says:

    lisab i have a problem with your clear and utter contempt for Wookies.

  • PenniePan says:

    Well this is a load of crap! You did not even mention the fact that it takes a year or more to campaign for statewide and national office. Those are long days of 18-20 hours of HARD WORK. Your hatred and anger toward President Obama is becoming really irrational now. I suppose you all think that because you had a few off year election victories that you are marching toward a complete rout. Let me remind you that President Obama has 3 more years in this term and more then likely 4 additional years after that.

    It’s hard to be this angry for so long a time period. It’s bad for your health you know.

  • lisab says:

    it is not anger, it is disgust

  • lisab says:

    shannon,

    about 3 things i am absolutely positive.

    first, michelle is a wookie.

    second, there is a part of her, and i don’t know how dominant that part might be, that wants to rip our arms out of our sockets.

    and third, i am unconditionally and irrevocably contemptuous of her

  • PenniePan says:

    Lisa that is so unbecoming of you. You must be as ugly as sin complete with warts and saggy tits, and as fat as a cow yourself the way you make fun of our First Lady.

  • PenniePan says:

    By the way Kate…stupid video you have on deck. You conservatives and the whole GOP really are so talentless in that department that it’s no wonder you shut off comments on those things.

  • Jared says:

    Pennie I liked the video except the guy sang flat through it. The line about Nancy Pelosi looking like a trout was actually pretty funny. Here’s a quarter. Go buy some humor.

  • lisab says:

    “… and as fat as a cow yourself the way you make fun of our First Lady”

    nope … i just don’t like wookies

    imagine how much nair she must use … i guess now we know who buys the five gallon size of nair at samsclub.

  • micky says:

    “Let me remind you that President Obama has 3 more years in this term and more then likely 4 additional years after that.”

    The only think you remind me of is this.

    “Lisa that is so unbecoming of you. You must be as ugly as sin complete with warts and saggy tits, and as fat as a cow yourself the way you make fun of our First Lady.”

    Yet your immature, childish, and completely pathetic attack on lisa is very becoming of you Pennie. It’s absolutely hysterical that you can accuse someone of being ugly and full of hate and then attacking them while being ugly and full of hate.

    You are what we refer to as an “oxygen thief” in the law enforcement world. If being stupid were a crime, you would receive a life sentence.

    “It’s hard to be this angry for so long a time period.”

    Well, I figure the dems hated Bush for eight years, so we’ve still got seven to go….not that B.O. will be around that long.

  • Ken says:

    Oh, and Pennie, while your brainwashed, kool aid drinking, never doubting, never questioning, zombie babbling self believes everything that comes out of Obama’s mouth….you are in the minority.

    http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/january_2010/deficit_of_trust_most_voters_don_t_believe_president_s_assertions_about_economy

    “The president in the speech declared that his administration has cut taxes for 95% of Americans. He even chided Republicans for not applauding on that point. However, just 21% of voters nationwide believe that taxes have been cut for 95% of Americans. Most (53%) say it has not happened, and 26% are not sure. Other polling shows that nearly half the nation’s voters expect their own taxes to go up during the Obama years.

    The president also asserted that “after two years of recession, the economy is growing again.” Just 35% of voters believe that statement is true, while 50% say it is false.

    Obama claimed that steps taken by his team are responsible for putting two million people to work “who would otherwise be unemployed.” Just 27% of voters say that statement is true. Fifty-one percent (51%) say it’s false. …

    As for the claim about two million jobs, 46% of Democrats say it’s true, while 77% of Republicans say it’s not. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 24% say it’s true, and 59% say it’s false.”

    In other words Pennie, in order to simplify it for people like you, nobody believes Obama. He’s a liar and people know it.

  • micky says:

    Cut our taxes ? BFD.
    If 10% of Americans had jobs and my grandkids grankids didnt have to make up for it and I wasnt required to buy your sht insurance or go to jail and not pay an arm and a leg to gas up my car and heat my house then that bs might mean something

  • lisab says:

    onlyy about 50% of americans pay income taxes

  • micky says:

    And the 5% that actually contribute enough to grease our wheels are gonna get nailed for some more.

  • Jeff Banning says:

    What Barack is mad about is that he didn’t get the message out there so that the “stupid poeple” could understand it. Well Mr. President that is a you problem. But the fact is that we do understand the message and we have seen this movie already and it ends badly. All you libs that defend what is he is doing answer me this: How does doubling the debt and freezing it, taking 760 billion dollars in unspent stimulus and TARP paybacks and not paying down the debt that those created good leadership? Just wondering? Plus the schools where I live are cutting funding and laying off 100 teachers. Saved or created. ANswers please.
