Henry Lamb: Professional politician; inept President

Several of the Republican candidates have said that the 2012 elections are the most important elections in our lifetime. They are. The current powers in Washington, most of the media, as well as academia, want the nation to abandon, or at least, to reinterpret the U.S. Constitution to justify the Marxist idea that government should manage society. These folks are winning the battle. They’re winning because they’ve been working at it for a century. “They” are the progressives, like Barack Hussein Obama, who actually believe that government is a better manager of society and the economy than are free people in a free market. Obama apparently believes that his position endows him with the wisdom to make right decisions, regardless of the fact that he has had no real life experience at anything other than organizing street protests.


His ACORN training produced a professional politician with the skills to win every confrontation with complete confidence that the ends justify any means that may be
required. Obama’s history of public service is a history of leaving Chicago’s streets bloody with the losses of people who never knew what hit them. In the Illinois Senate, he voted “present” 129 times in route to the U.S. Senate, where his most important job was to ridicule and embarrass the Bush administration. What a job he did on Bush in 2006 when the debt ceiling had to be raised.

When Obama became President, however, it was a different story. Obama successfully led a willing press to blame the Tea Parties and Congressional Republicans for working to create a total collapse of the American economy just to see that he is not re-elected. Obama is a strikingly effective politician; he is an incredibly inept President.

His adoring press amplified Obama’s criticism of the Republican-controlled House for not approving his jobs bill, which included a healthy tax increase. “We can’t wait,” was his cry to the public. He failed to mention that the Republican House had passed more than 20 jobs bills that the Democrat-controlled Senate refused to even consider. He failed to mention that more than 20,000 jobs were left awaiting only his approval on the Keystone Pipeline project – studied for more than three years by the EPA.

Loyalty to his environmental extremist special interest voters is obviously far more important to Obama than are the privately funded jobs that still await his approval.
