In deference to DG's expertise, Obama could start shitting gold ingots to pay off the deficit and still face criticism if some of them need to have corn kernels picked out of them. The man is a product of his handlers. Even in the most neutral situations, outside their guiding influence and TelePrompTer delivered lines, the man has problems acting or talking without a script. Opening day of baseball - the most neutral of situations; made it through the scrutiny of the first pitch, up in the announces box, he discloses his lifelong association with the 'South Side' White Sox. "Great Mr. President, and who is your favorite White Sox?" The question stumps him! Hell - go with Steve Kemp, go with a traded guy - Tom Seaver, or the farm hand who got away - Sammy Sosa; instead another long winded answer referencing his Hawaiian roots!? Hilliary Clinton proclaimed herself a 'Yankee Fan' during the NY Senate primaries and it almost cost her the election. Obama never got the 'tough'; "who's your favorite player" questions during the campaign and now - with each one asked - it discloses him to be a placard image without substance. Same as Hilliary - same source of cause/effect - the handlers; but only distinct from the 'Red' linen by visibility and coverage for the time being. Regan may not have known as much or been half as intelligent as either, but he would have been able to chat and talk with the baseball announcers through a hour long rain delay and not made such poor representation of himself as Obama did in one question. This is what we have - this is what we deserve. Obama, like Carter before him, is an intelligent man totally miscast, over his head, and lost in the position he finds himself. Bowing, hand shaking, hugging, kissing, or misrepresenting the pragmatic immediate impact of the health care bill he just signed; the man can't do a damn thing right. I'm sure he's smarter than this - but we'll never see it or have the opportunity to benefit from it. Not now - when even his unquestioning apologists, watch, listen and shake their heads as the try to rationalize what happened to 'CHANGE!'.
