Reality....Doesn't Matter to Barry!!!
59Here it is June 14, 2010, and we are now in day FIFTY-SIX of the largest ecological disaster to ever befall America. I have watched and seen much coverage of this ongoing horror in the Gulf of Mexico, but if you listen to the White House, this is really just a minor annoyance to them. When the explosion initially occurred, there was very little said about any possible spill or leak which would spew oil into the ocean. In fact, BO wasn't too concerned at all. He still hosted the President of Mexico and sat back smiling while he permitted this FOREIGN leader to trash our laws; he still hosted a state dinner and had Beyonce entertain; he had another "date night" with Shelley in a fancy DC restaurant, and he had lots of time for golf, basketball, and vacationing in Chicago over Memorial Day, glad he didn't let any of his presidential duties interfere with his life. Unfortunately, those who live and work in the Gulf region have no such luxury afforded to them.
This administration, which has proven to be GROSSLY inept at the act of governing, doesn't seem capable of beginning to comprehend the scope of the disaster looming large on the minds of many. They have sent their people to all media outlets insisting that they have been on this disaster since "day one". How many times have all of them repeated this phrase? Well, somebody needs to tell them that saying something over and over does not suddenly render the statement to be true. The REALITY of the situation is this: People have been forced out of work, the environment is being decimated, and our president still cannot LEAD!!
Since January of 2009, when this fraud was inaugurated, the liberal media has worked overtime to insure that only positive coverage is put upon this man. I think back to the campaign and ALL the outlandish promises this neophyte made and the ignorant among us FLOCKED to cast a vote for their (not my) savior. This inexperienced fool worked quite hard to win the election and he also promised to right every wrong and make Washington a kinder, gentler place. Well, here it is nearly 18 months later, and frankly, things have continued to decline on all fronts.
REALITY--defined by Webster as "a quality or state of being real". Real (also according to Webster) is NOT fraudulent or illusory. This goes to the point of my hub. It is obvious that Barry, Holder, Emanuel, Gibbs etc do not have a very firm grasp on what reality is and is not. Just because they say they have been there all along does not make it so. Actually, BO and Holder are more concerned with placing the blame on the "correct" group responsible and determining how/when to file a lawsuit against the villain instead of first dealing with STOPPING this disaster and worrying about the legalities later. I find it more than a little amusing to watch Barry throw the blame ANYWHERE at ANYONE so long as his regime can remain untainted. It now appears that the liberal media is even starting to question the effectiveness of this administration to handle this crisis.
Here are a few realities that I have noticed about Obama and his fools.
1. The most important thing is to place blame upon someone--ANYONE--so long as that person is NOT an Obama crony.
2. Governing is a bit beyond their grasp. They have lots of big ideas, but they are clueless as to how they can be effectively implemented.
3. Creating jobs, which is very important to the millions of unemployed, is UTTERLY beyond their capabilities. The programs implemented under BO are job KILLERS and make small businesses afraid to hire because of new regulations BO wants to impose on everyone everywhere.
4. Transparent is a word that they have no comprehension of whatsoever!!
5. Kissing the asses of Iran and other terror groups only make America WEAKER in the eyes of the world. How many concessions have we gotten from Iran with this new BO "let's play nice" mantra?
6. Health care is something that these bozos have no business at all controlling. Watching them flounder for the last 56 days has made it abundantly clear that these guys would be hard pressed to manage a Walmart much less one sixth of our nation's economy!
7. Regardless of what BO said during his campaign, he has no respect for Israel and our alliance with them. He has even snubbed the brits a few times too.
8. The terrorists don't seem to care who our president is, they still hate us and they still want to murder us all.
Well, those are a few realities that I wish the White House would consider. Too bad candidate Obama is such a horrible president. It should not be too surprising to anyone who can think. This man had NO EXPERIENCE as an executive, and he has surrounded himself with other liberal elites who are clueless about how to manage a company, much less an entire nation.
Should the government worry about suing BP at this point, or should the focus be stopping the leak?
See results without votingright. I truly feel sorry for the many wonderful Afro-Americans who have to be judged by this boob.
Is "Afro-Americans" still PC? Never the less, I have to agree.
Sheri, I agree with you. He has handled this poorly from the beginning. He turned down all the help offered from other countries. Good hub.
#6. These guys would be hard pressed to manage a Walmart. Hilarious, but how true.
I agree with all of the above comments, especially Sheila! I cracked up when I read #6...so sad yet so true. Another great hub, Sheri!
You took the words right out of my mouth. Where is the leadership? Answer. There is no leadership and their won't be until this community activist is back in Chicago. Well done Sheri.
Great hub Sherri. You go girl. Obama is clueless. But how's he gonna blame this one on George W.?
Sheri...you preach on! The ineptitude of this administration is so apparent it looks like Moe slapping Curly in the face with a wet trout! The administration has turned its back on foreign offers of assistance, ignored the ideas of some really innovative people here at home, ignored Kevin Costner's offer of a salvage vessel to help with the clean up, ignored communicating with BP, and the list goes on and on. But, the great one cannot hold his tongue when suggesting that we "must act now" in light of this disaster to pass the legislation that is stalled in the Congress regarding energy reforms. What a Snidley Whiplash dastardly deed that was. Give him a little credit though...he is creating jobs...a new Gulf Energy Czar is to be named along with members of a commission. Carol Browner is the current energy czar and must be just too busy to manage the crisis in the gulf...hmmm what could be a higher priority...possibly energy legislation??? Thanks for an awesome hub, Sheri! WB

Well it is only appropriate that largest ecological disaster to ever befall America should occur under a president whose election resulted in the largest economic disaster this country has ever experienced. The reason BHO reacted as he did was the explosion initially was nothing more than an annoyance to him. He was more concerned with assisting the President of Mexico trash our laws than the gulf oil spill. Because the spill played into his overall agenda; the worse it became the better fodder it became to use to push his Crap and Tax Plan!
Hey the poor guy’s gotta rest, state dinner with Beyonce; "date night" with Shelley my Belly in a fancy DC restaurant, and lots of golf, basketball, and vacationing in Chicago over Memorial Day, it’s hard devastating the largest economy in the world!
The disaster looming large on the horizon is in fact this Administration or in this case this Regime. They have been on this disaster since "day one". Don’t you remember after BHO dove down on day 3 in an attempt to plug the hole; that’s when his daughter asked him “Daddy did you plug the hole; remember she said that when he resurfaced. Don’t you remember that?
So while Barry keeps spinning; Chris (Mathews) keeps peeing, Biden keeps buffooning, Pelosi keeps pontificating, Reid keeps Raping and the oil keeps spewing!
I keep going back to that conference BO had with the senators over the health care thing when he kept calling everyone by their first names (unheard of), and then uttered to Sen. John McCain, "John, the election is over."
Right. It makes perfect sense. You just wanted to BE the president, but you never wanted to do the work of the president. It shows.
There's another line that comes to mind. It's from that Mel Brooks movie, "History of the World Part 1" when Brooks constantly uttered, "It's good to be the king."
From the very beginning, once he was sworn in, it seems Obama expected to be a dictator. I wondered then and still wonder - does he know any real history at all? And by the way, I've seen some of your comments on other hubs and wonder why nothing new from you? Hoping you're just taking a vacation for yourself.

Sheri,
Governance is beyond Progressives they are in perpetual campaign mode. It's all about illusion of reality for the 2012 election.
