His political mantra and actions have always been from behind, standing back without acting so no one can criticize him. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">He strives for our mediocrity<\/span>. In his resent speech on August 8th, after the stock market took a nose dive, Obama stated that \u201cOur credit rating is <strong>among<\/strong> the worlds <strong>safest <\/strong>(not best).\u201d And we have \u201c<strong>some<\/strong>\u201d of the most productive workers. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Were\u2019s the leadership drive to strive for being the best<\/span>? He singlehandedly removed us from being the world leader in space science and exploration, an area that is crucial to our future national defense. Past presidents have always referred to our people in the superlative, as world leaders out front (not at someone\u2019s behind) with the knowledge and expectation that we are and will strive to be the best.<\/p>\n<p>Obama\u2019s never been a leader. Every project he launched as a \u201ccommunity organizer\u201d in Chicagois a failure. That weakness and low expectation with a desire to avoid accountability is why, after just two months in office, the President of France publicly called Obama a weak leader. Obama always says he has a plan, but he refuses to write it out in detail for us to see. Is that transparency? But then what did we expected from a man with an Illinois Senate record of voting \u201cpresent\u201d 72 times? America got just what it voted for, a politician that survives by hiding what he really believes in, hiding behind flowery meaningless rhetoric, one who\u2019s afraid to show where he really stands and what he really intends to do out of fear of criticism. He\u2019s a man who says one thing and then behind the scenes does another. A man who really leads from behind; behind legal lies, rhetoric, deception, illusion, hypocrisy, dishonesty and insincerity: In short, a real 19<sup>th<\/sup> century con man. Just don\u2019t expect him to tell you what\u2019s in his elixir.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:bill@billsnotes.net\">bill@billsnotes.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0By Bill Sandry What an oxymoron!
