Poor Obama

  Whew, boy. It's tough to follow the last couple days, as we've watched P.O. slide off the rails and launch into hyper partisanship rather than deal with the real problems of this country. It's very kind that he lets us keep any of our money, no?
  Andrew Malcolm at the LA TImes has a great perspective on the reasoning of The One the last few days:

The poor man, who turns 50 this summer, does live with his mother-in-law. But he said he especially misses Saturday mornings -- "rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed.”
Instead, Obama must endure 24-hour free room service, servants, drivers, a giant....
...helicopter, world travel, fawning celebrities, never gasping at a whirling gas pump and getting a salary that many of America's unemployed millions would take a tiny fraction of if they could.
“I can't take a walk," whined the most powerful person in the world, who spent $745 million of other people's money to get into that White House detention center.
  Hey, maybe those suck up RINOs are still his friends! 
  Boehner looks more and more like the deer in the headlights these days.
  But Obama faces himself when it comes to what he wants out of life. (Mr. President, how do you feeeeeeel?)
  VD Hanson encapsulates it perfectly here at NRO:

a) Has Obama in his past careers never been called to account and so reached a point where simply being Obama means that we are not supposed to apply standards of accuracy, memory, and consistency to him in the way we do to all others?
b) Or does an absent-minded Obama carelessly make up things up ad hoc as he goes along, forgetting what he said earlier, but secure that his hope-and-change delivery of the moment will so mesmerize the audience that no one will remember or care if at times he ends up saying exactly the opposite of what he had said earlier?
  He has a total of five reasons Obama is behaving the way he is. Be sure to read them all. 
  We continue to wonder: is it incompetence or design that is ruining our economy and standing in the world?
