All hail King Obama!
That's like saying Gandhi only acted out of self interest to get people to like him.
Gandhi operated from a place of compassion as well as a sense of political acumen

Obama operates from the same place but not as effectively due to personal shortcomings and inexperience.
He needs more seasoning in his message and delivery. Better staff would help.
I think he can't wait to get out of the white house just like Bush was.
He must realize by now, like other presidents, the white house is no place to get anything done.
Def not a king. You give the man too much credit.

Hillary might end up Queen but Obama King? No way.
Hillary will have to be Queen like Margaret Thatcher to survive the pounding republicans will throw at her.
Nobody has ever called Hillary sweet that I can recall.

Ah well, Heads of state are people too.

Well you'd be incorrect as I don't vote/belong to any particular party.

So there it is in a nutshell. (bold) An under qualified, inexperienced, ideologue trying to do a job he now realizes (but won't admit) is beyond him.

Well, if you're full of unbridled hate and loathing for the man, I guess that would be one way of putting it.

Or, if you put aside ideology and actually use critical thinking to deconstruct what he's done so far you'd realize he's a person in wayyy over his head and locked into single minded actions in pursuit of his dream of changing the world to fit HIS vision of utopia
Unfortunately this usually does not square up with reality.

A dictator
But an effective one
Kept the banks from crashing
The illegals from revolting
Killed bin laden
Killed some pirates
Ok ok not perfect 18 trillion in debt and 13 plus years of war
Better than congress all they do is eat sleep and get re elected

I'm sure Obama views himself more as a Pharaoh than a King. Really he's more of a village idiot that somehow found himself leading a country.

Quote:
the 44th and current President of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004,
If these accomplishments represent the village idiot what are your credentials.
With the rights new preoccupation with saying the President thinks himself a Pharoah/emporer/king/etc IMO the man has never said anything to make me believe he thinks himself anything other than the duly elected 2X President of the USA doing his best for the American people..
