The president’s problem is that he has been wrong about virtually every major issue."<br /><br />Say it ain't so, Dances! Personally, I though the writing was on the wall on January 20, 2009. How anyone actually believed that he was competent to hold the office is beyond me. The Nobel Peace Prize was icing on the cake. What did he do to serve that? <i>What did he do to deserve that?</i> Not a thing -- he was just the candidate of those who believe that there is some benevolent controlling power that allowed us to elect any incompetent fuckwad who came along and still have things work out well. <br /><br />I would like to say that I was surprised, but I am not. I would have much preferred to have been surprised and find that Obama was a good President. Instead, he turned out to be the disaster I figured he would be.<br /><br />Oh, obstreperous works for me!RadioMattMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279791190310394287noreply@blogger.com
