Follow The Leader?

Hey yall, it’s been a long time since my last piece. I do apologize for the long delay between this piece and the last one. Another Obama official waves the white flag.
The Obama administration has often used the President’s charisma as a tool to downplay any critic that questions the merits of any agenda item proposed by the White House. His uncanny leadership skills supposedly enabled him to attain the services of the most professional and loyal experts the nations has ever seen. This must mean that loyalty must not be worth much these days inside the Beltway.
Every aspect of this President that the media glamorized has lost its allure with the American people as well as those inside the White House.
For instance, tabloids salivated when Desiree Rogers boasted about the Obama brand shortly after the 2008 election. The Obama’s were going to be the modern Kennedys. The only resemblance between the two families may have more to do with their ability to spend a pretty penny at the same time chastising anyone else who does. Rogers abandoned the Obama brand quicker than LeBron James did Cleveland.
His economic knowledge that some would say rivals only that of Alexander Hamilton came to light when he proposed the passage of the two stimulus packages salvaging an economy that was about to drop into the abyss. Meanwhile, unemployment has remained at 9.7% as well as jobless claims have increased incrementally each month this year. His Napoleonic military instincts helped to change the Iraq War from a total disaster to a military success. Certainly the selfless sacrifice of American troops along with courageous Iraqi voters must not have played a role in the constant struggle of creating a free Iraq. Finally, his Atticus Finch like legal mind as well as his pride for his country has made America safe once again. If you don’t count the infamous underwear bomber, Time Square bomber, suicide bombers who were released from Guantanamo Bay, etc.
Barack Obama often gets praised for his ability to appeal to others. It’s unthinkable for anyone to leave the side of such an apologetic man. If you want some proof just ask Shirley Sherrod. Also who wouldn’t want to have a boss so teleprompter savvy? Who wouldn’t want to participate in bringing Hope and Change to all Americans once again?
Ironically, the answer is several of the political hacks currently working in the administration. This includes Rahm Emanuel, who after this year, will no longer flex his ballerina muscles in the halls of Congress threatening anyone who disagrees with the administration’s stance. Christina Romer opted to return to the ivy halls of academia in Stanford as opposed to attempting to lie further about a phantom economic recovery. Lastly, the man who has advised President Obama on how to use the military as a punching bag as the primary guideline in his defense agenda will return to College Station, TX. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates will finally leave DC after serving 2 President’s with very different defense philosophies.
It’s clear that the American people have lost confidence in President Obama as their leader, and now his own staff has made that sentiment resonate even louder. Barack Obama isn’t fit for the job as President. Every so called expert he appointed to his cabinet has failed the American people at a crucial time in our history. Future cabinet members must realize that the only public servant that the American people respect are those who follow the Constitution and all the American principles. If this pattern continues in November 2010 and 2012 other politicians and high ranking officials will follow Romer and Emanuel’s path.
James.
