Obama

Friend or foe you have to feel for Obama (I'm sticking with the one name,like a Brazilian footballer). Does anyone remember the glow of his inauguration anymore? It seems now, that a year and a bit later is seems that that was the moment that he jumped the shark. The poor man has done nothing wrong besides get nothing done. He was gift wrapped a Senate and a House of Representatives and all the goodwill in the world to clean up the poo-poo platter that he was left with. Hey, I know, let's close Guantanamo. Who could have problem that? Why is it still open? Because it was set up to be a purgatory outside of the law, it really hard to bring it back into the fold. Nobody wants the inmates that remain, even though nobody knows how many are guilty or innocent. Let's put that in the too hard basket. We were then told that the sky would fall if we didn't bail out Wall Street. I honestly can't remember one person of consequence saying that we shouldn't bail out AIG, Fannie Mac, Lehman, Bank of America etc. etc. I do remember some companies not getting bailed out but none of the talking heads said don't give any money to any of them. So Obama had carte blanche to throw a few trillion around because that's what we all were told what needed to happen. Any problems with that? Wait, don't answer that. OK, let's go with the universal healthcare for the millions of uninsured in America. Really now, who could have a problem with THAT! Whoops. It boggles the mind really. Uninsured, these people are more of a burden on society than with insurance, so what's the problem? I saw a clip from one of Obama's town hall meetings were this young guy asked Obama if he really willing to take away pharmaceutical companies right to make a profit? I turned my head sideways like a dog trying to figure that one out. (Sidenote: I read not to long ago that a lot of doctors in America are using placebos nowadays to help cure a psychosomatic nation. Unfortunately for the doctors, sugar pills cost relatively nothing, so the patients were catching on because their pills cost so little. The solution? Increase the price of a sugar pill! Now, so that the patients won't catch on, a sugar pill could cost $5 dollars a pop! A financial placebo effect for a placebo! Brilliant!)
All of this was really was a fancy schmancy way of an introduction. It's really bad for the man that he can't close Gitmo, solve America's financial strife or get universal health care for the people who need it the most. Now, he has to put up with people making really bad paintings of him. How much of this can a man take before he snaps!
