OOPS!!!!!!!!!snip “Striking a very balanced, and in many ways, neutral approach is recognized by many people in the region as not being with them, or on their side,” said J. Scott Mastic, the head of Middle East and North Africa for the International Republican Institute. “It’s very important that we be seen as supporting the demands of the people in the region.” How Mr. Obama manages to do that while also balancing American interests is a question that officials acknowledge will plague this historic president for months to come. Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.”
Yep, that's the plan; President of the United States of China.
...redistribution the easy way ...minus the fees due for management crews of course!

What amateurs are in the White House.
You are the President of the Free World. Act like one. I guess he is tired of being bullied by the fawning Press. President Pantywaist!

Obama says US is tightening noose on Libyan leader WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Friday that a no-fly zone over Libya to keep Col. Moammar Gadhafi from attacking rebels remains a possibility as "we are slowly tightening the noose" around the Libyan leader. But he stopped short of moving toward military action. "The bottom line is: I have not taken any actions off the table at this point," Obama told a White House news conference. He cited actions already taken, including new sanctions and the freezing of tens billions of dollars of Gadhafi's assets. 'It is in the United States' interest, and in the interests of the people of Libya that Gadhafi leave," Obama said. "We're going to take a wide range of actions" to try to accomplish that goal, he added. Obama said he wanted to make it clear to the longtime Libyan leaders "that the world is watching" his brutal response to the rebellions in his country. The president took issue with the prediction a day earlier by his national intelligence director, James Clapper, that Gadhafi was likely to prevail and remain in power. Obama said Clapper "was making a hardheaded assessment" of Gadhafi's military capabilities but "he wasn't stating policy." snip "Here at home, everybody should know, if the situation demands it, we are prepared to tap" into the nation's petroleum reserves, located in salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana on the Gulf Coast, if it becomes necessary, he said. Some members of Congress from both parties have called for the president to take some of the oil to help hold down prices. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was established in response to the Arab oil embargo of 1973-1974. It was most recently tapped in September 2008 in response to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. "In an economy that relies on oil, gas prices affect everybody. Families feel the pinch every time they fill up the tank," Obama said. Still, he said the country was in a better shape to handle a disruption in oil supplies now than in the past. "Our economy as a whole is more efficient. We're producing more oil and we're importing less," he said. snip

"Hello Amerika, lovely weather on this bright sunny day here. I just wanted to tell you we have that NON-member of the Muslim Brotherhood just where we want him now ...and did I mention our new SECRET oil reserves I esptablished, kept safely stored in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska."

I happened to watch the last part of his press conference (captioned) as I was doing my penance on the tread mill. One is struck by just how inarticulate he really is when reading his remarks. He does not answer questions (though that seems to be an attribute shared by most politicians) and takes every opportunity to puff up himself that it makes one sick.
He wants to paint Republicans as having it in for Headstart and the CPB - making the claim that those are worthwhile programs that cost little. He wants major cuts in the military and cuts in medicaid/medicare - which leads me to believe that if he thought he could get rid of old people the world would be a lot better off. Of course, he doesn't have to worry (he or Michelle) as they will have the pension from the White House and his time in the Senate.

He's a moron for thinking it...but that's a marxist/socialist for you...
But then what sort of double nought moron would actually say it?

Economy, Gas, Partisanship and War Gang Up on Confidence in Government Confidence in the U.S. System of Government Drops to a 35-Year Low By GARY LANGER - March 15, 2011 Confidence in the U.S. system of government has dropped to a new low in more than 35 years, with public attitudes burdened by continued economic discontent, soaring gasoline prices, record opposition to the war in Afghanistan -- and a letdown in hopes for political progress after a bout of bipartisanship last fall. Only 26 percent of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll say they're optimistic about "our system of government and how well it works," down 7 points since October to the fewest in surveys dating to 1974. Almost as many, 23 percent, are pessimistic, the closest these measures ever have come. The rest, a record high, are "uncertain" about the system. The causes are many. Despite a significant advance, more than half still say the economy has not yet begun to recover. And there's trouble at the pump: Seventy-one percent in this poll, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates, report financial hardship as a result of rising gas prices. Forty-four percent call it a "serious" hardship. snip
The workings of a brilliant legacy, and we get to witness suffer it.

It's about time we got back to a real constitutional gubermint ASAP. , not Obama's bastardised version.

The workings of a brilliant legacy, and we get to witness suffer it. Much of this is his own fault. Gas prices were rising before all the mideast chaos of this along with food and other prices. The strife over there just made that and the economy worse. 0bama and the democrats ramming through controversial by hook or crook led to the partisanship. And quite frankly partisanship is a good thing if it means opposing everything the democrats did over the last two years.

Medicare and Medicaid Made $70 Billion in ‘Improper Payments’ Last Year—More Than All Spending by Homeland Security and State Departments Combined
History of his brilliant accomplishments
...the brilliance he displayed in WHO he selected to surround himself with.
Of course many of us in Kansas were happy Kathleen Sebelius was gone from our state!

Kathleen Sibelius is the daughter of tax a billion Gilligan - the former governor of the Buckeye State. If Kansans had asked Ohioans, the Buckeyes would have said don't elect a Gilligan!
