The NYT Skewers Obama, Boehner

Even the Messiah Times has had enough of the petty bickering in Washington (it's petty bickering when the Repubs win an argument, but brilliant leadership if the Dems come out on top).

The contemptuous reaction from the House speaker, John Boehner, to the president’s request to address a joint session next Wednesday — the day Congress returns from its summer recess — was appalling. No matter how he feels about Mr. Obama personally or politically, there can be no excuse for his lack of respect for the office, to which he is second in the line of succession. And it was distressing to watch President Obama fail, once again, to stand up to an opposition that won’t brook the smallest compromise.

What made this even more appalling is that the president will be speaking on the country’s most pressing problem — the need to create jobs and stave off another destructive recession.

Of course, the Dems never disrespected President Bush. Nope. Also, the Times is "appalled" that Boehner prevented Obama from upstaging the Republican debate. Appalled, I tell you! Personally, if Obama has some grand plan up his sleeve to jump-start this economy, I'm appalled that he didn't cut short his vacation to share it with the rest of us.

It's becoming increasingly clear that Obama is not a leader, nor does he possess the "brilliance" the slobbering progs bestow upon him with absolutely no evidence of the fact. He's a man who has never had a real job or solved a real-world problem. Has he even balanced his own checkbook? It's "appalling" that we elected this guy! The independent thinking was "gawd, he CAN'T be worse than Bush (McCain)!" and the liberal thinking was "hey, it's time for a black man to be prez. See how progressive and civilized I am! Excuse me while I pat myself on the back.". Unions and able-bodied public assistance recipients were giddy with glee, embracing the notion that Obama would heap money on their gravy train.

Now we're swirling the drain while our President cowers in his corner, blubbering at his czars to "fundamentally change" everything in sight to the point of breaking our nation. I don't have high hopes for Obama's speech next week; fixing this mess will involve creativity, versatility, and superior leadership skills. Over the course of nearly three years in office, Obama has exhibited none of these traits.
