Can anyone please tell me when this President will stop campaigning and start leading? Shouldn't he be sitting in the oval office with his staff and coming up with SOLUTIONS for Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo, Unemployment, Foreclosures, Dollar being debased, the list goes on and on... Apparently this President feels the need to keep telling us, “I hope that all of you guys understand that we're just getting started. Some of our opponents think that they can wear us down,” he said. “I’m not tired. I’m refreshed. We are not going to stop.” If I hear him say this again in 3 months meanwhile our soldiers are dying overseas, more and more Americans are getting laid off and foreclosures skyrocket I will [expletive] scream! It's been 9 months now and all he has shown us that he does well is campaign. President Obama keeps reminding everybody, every opportunity he gets, that he is President. Okay we got it. It has been official for nearly 9 months. You assumed RESPONSIBILITY 9 months ago. ALL DECISIONS that you have made or have NOT made since you assumed the oval office are on YOU MR. President. Now would you please start acting like one and lead. No I take that back. I don't want you to ACT like one, that is exactly what you have been doing. Your position as Head of State requires much more than ACTING. It would be nice if you could become a leading President. Would somebody please remind you that you are not a candidate anymore... Oh that's right, you already know this because you keep reminding everybody that you are President.
Just a reminder for those of you who have selective memory, it was President Obama who gave the OKAY to continue BAILING OUT the U.S. financial industry that FAILED and it was President Obama who gave the OKAY to continue BAILING OUT the U.S. auto industry that FAILED. And NOW we OWN BOTH plus AIG because of President Obama's DECISION NOT BUSH! It was also President Obama who gave the OKAY to blow over $1 TRILLION taxpayer dollars with the so-called economic stimulus bill and OMNIBUS spending bill [with tons of WASTE] within his first two weeks in office. President Obama has KEPT Bush's Patriot Act LAW and President Obama has KEPT Bush's Military Commission's Act LAW. It was President Obama who gave the OKAY to continue bombing the Pakistan/Afghanistan border with unmanned airdrones killing 1,000s of innocent civilians. So please spare us the whinning that you were handed a mess. How many of you have taken over a job that you felt was left with a mess? Probably most of you right. You didn't whine did you? No because you would have been fired for doing so right? You took over your position, organized it to your liking and made it your own.
I have no idea why President Obama was honored with a nobel peace price when he has continued most of former President Bush's policies! All of these DECISIONS have been effectively yours President Obama. There is no one else to blame but you!
Now we see President Obama waffling and postponing a MOST CRITICAL decision that has been asked of him by the very person HE SELECTED to be his Military Commander. "US Army General Stanley McChrystal request outlines three options for additional troops - from as many as 80,000 to as few as 10,000 to 15,000 - but favours a compromise of 40,000 more forces, the officials said. President Obama said on Tuesday he will decide in "the coming weeks" on a war strategy and the troops needed to carry it out." [source: South African Star 10/15/09] Wait a minute, didn't President Obama adamantly state that this was the war that needed to be won. Afghanistan/Pakistan was a WAR that President Obama ESCALATED! not former President Bush.

Barack Obama speaks at DNC fundraiser

SAN FRANCISCO—President Barack Obama addressed an adoring crowd of supporters at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in San Francisco Thursday evening, where he told the assembled that “When I’m busy, and Nancy’s busy, with a mop cleaning up somebody else’s mess, we don’t want somebody sitting back saying, ‘you’re not holding the mop the right way’ … ‘you’re not mopping fast enough’ … ‘that’s a socialist mop.’”
“Grab a mop. We need help.” [Aren't you the Commander in Chief? Head of state?]
Obama, at the Westin St. Francis Hotel here after visiting New Orleans earlier in the day, addressed a small group of donors at an intimate dinner for 160, and then moved several floors downstairs to a larger ballroom, where he addressed a sold-out crowd of about 900 attendees. The singer Tracy Chapman warmed up the ballroom crowd with her 1988 hit, “Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution.”
He sought to reassure the dinner attendees that Washington was making progress. “If we stopped today, this legislative session would have been one of the most productive in a generation,” he said. “I hope that all of you guys understand that we’re just getting started.”
“Some of our opponents think that they can wear us down,” he said. “I’m not tired. I’m refreshed. We are not going to stop.”
