Perception is reality: How our friends and enemies perceive Barack Obama
Barack Obama, who was sold to the American people as the most intelligent, most competent presidential candidate ever, is beginning to look like he’s not competent to run a hotel on Baltic Avenue, much less the house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The latest issue of U.S. News takes a look at the results of the last 17 months:
The end result is that a critical mass of influential people in world affairs who once held high hopes for the president have begun to wonder whether they misjudged the man.
They are no longer dazzled by his rock star personality and there is a sense that there is something amateurish and even incompetent about how Obama is managing U.S. power…
America right now appears to be unreliable to traditional friends, compliant to rivals, and weak to enemies. One renowned Asian leader stated recently at a private dinner in the United States, “We in Asia are convinced that Obama is not strong enough to confront his opponents, but we fear that he is not strong enough to support his friends.”
Why so harsh, Newsweek? The guy plays a mean game of golf and doesn’t he deserve a little credit for that?

I always saw Obama as an empty suit with no experience running anything, not even a 7-11, before getting elected by those people way too eager to have a black president – any black president. Heck, I would much rather have Hillary as president as this clown.

Empty suit? I contend he is much worse – he’s a vacuum – sucking the life out of this country.
And I wonder, when will Hillary resign to run against him? I’d bet she would have a great chance in the primary, unless she is too much a part of his administration. My guess is back room dems are discussing these options daily as they watch him set them back a couple of decades.
I only hope the repubs are grooming someone articulate with a spine.

The president usurper, the fraud and foreigner, the con man from Kenya, the bastard from Africa – Obama/Soetoro/Obama – must stop polluting and occupying the White House. Let the world demand: “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” Imagine if even only one world leader would be courageous enough to ask (but would the media cover it?).

He’s no amateur, he’s made a handsome living as a professional incompetent.

The thing is that what if he knows exactly what he is doing? His plan seems nefarious and evil. I cannot wait for this man to go away.
