Open thy mouth, Obama, and devour thine own success.

Of all the baffling, mind-numbing, ridiculous bragging points that still seem to be floating around somewhere in the bizzaro-world in which the media exists, there is one that really defecates on reason's back more than all the others combined. What I am referring to is that most dishonest claim that Barack Hussein Obama is a (insert your own adjective) brilliant, accomplished, impressive, eloquent, etc... public speaker. If you were to dig through the outbox of my email account, you would find emails which I sent to various friends and familial embarrassments in which I made the point that Obama can certainly come up with many smooth words in rapid succession, much more rapidly than George W. Bush, but when you really take his words and try to boil them down to something meaningful, the whole of his statements evaporates into thin air. He talks and talks and talks, and yet he says absolutely nothing. And if he ever does manage to speak with purpose and real intent, the very next day he shows up at some other town hall or labor union meeting on how to ruin the world, and negates the thing that he said the day before, thus rendering the same result of nothing being said.

"President" Obama vowed from day one of his campaign that he would be the most visible "president" ever. Many times each day Barry appears on TV shows, on the internet, on the radio, making some slick speech about some new social-justice program he's cooked up. But his quest for airtime is now beginning to work against him. That is because he is a huckster, a shill, and a snake-oil salesmen who plays to the crowd and says whatever he feels will win any given crowd over to his side. But his problem is that he forgets to check his various pitches against each other, and we have each of them on tape. So if he says in one speech that his new healthcare program will be the first successful government program ever and that it will be totally devoid of problems, he better by golly say the same thing in his next speech. But wait, he's supposed to be a genius at public speaking, right? I mean, he couldn't possibly be a big enough jackass to say that his own plan for healthcare is likely to flop like a dying fish, right?

Wrong. On Tuesday, at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, a man named Ben Hershenson asked the "president," "Who can compete with the government?" And in response, the talented statesmen Obama said this: "As long as they have a good product and the government plan has to sustain itself through premiums and other non-tax revenue, private insurers should be able to compete with the government plan. They do it all the time…UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. . . . It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems." Good one, Barry. Way to put a nice shine on that gold-plated turd you've been peddling around the country all summer.

Reader, I challenge you to seriously pay attention to your "president" when he talks. Don't just go into a trance or get hypnotized by his soothing voice like you usually do, but really try to overcome your game show-induced ADD long enough to get the actual point of what he's saying. And then compare those points to one another, and see if there's any semblance of consistency or honesty. And then ask yourself how you can trust a person who treats the presidency like a used car sales job. That's what it comes down to. Trust. Barack's approval ratings are almost as low as George W. Bush's ratings when he left office. That is because the lazy, thoughtless, ignorant dregs that voted for "change" are now learning what that truly means, and they don't like it. They no longer trust the man that claimed he was the messiah and turned out to be the devil. Better late than never. Hopefully.
