He begged us to trust him.

He begged us based on "hope and change" to elect him, even though he had zero leadership experience.

He spent almost a BILLION dollars to get the job.

Now he's bitching about how he has had "bad luck".

He campaigned on a platform of empty promises.

His overly-large ego was damaged when the realities of the job proved to demand more than empty rhetoric.

The same overly-large ego will not allow him to believe he was not up to the task. It demands he assign blame to something other than his own inabilities and poor judgment.

I'd be willing to bet he's awakened by nightmares in which his easily convinced supporters demand performance after finally realizing they'd fallen for empty platitudes.

Because it's harder to get things done when the entire culture is rapidly brainwashed progressive change and their own best interest by unlimited money.

So he could veto everything or make horrible compromise with theocratic capitalists. He chose compromise. That's what leadership is all about.

We'll see how he's judged by citizens during the next election.

He's on vacation so much of the time, when he comes back down to reality, he literally hates his job, obvious isn't it.

You're not going to like it.

BTW....leadership is "this is the way, follow me!".

Not, "what do you guys think will sound better for my re-election?".

I don't see how a politician can like their job.

Being a politician automatically means you're going to be hated by the majority of people.

Can't be a positive position.

When you have a group of people called Teabaggers who have committed their lives to destroying you then you know you have a difficult job. Anyways I believe Obama will prevail at the end of the day.

Well, let's see: His official job description is to 'do what is best for America'.

But his real job description (the orders given to him by the Puppet Masters who put him on the Stage) is to 'destroy America'.

With such conflicting objectives, how could one be anything but miserable.

Push his Agendas Obama... not do what is good for the Country. Obama is working to make it his America and he is dismantling it or in other words destroying it.

So a politician is pushing an agenda?
