Obama Admits He Stinks!
Obama: Biggest mistake too much perspiration, not enough inspiration
Call it “too much substance, not enough style?” President Barack Obama says his biggest mistake since getting to the White House three and a half years ago has been his tendency to tackle the job as national policy wonk rather than the inspiring figure he cut in the 2008 campaign.
“When I think about what we’ve done well and what we haven’t done well,” the president told CBS television in an interview, “the mistake of my first term – couple of years – was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right.”
“And that’s important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times,” Obama said in an excerpt of the exchange with Charlie Rose.
Obama seems to be saying that, dagnabbit, he just took the job too gosh-darn seriously. Republicans wasted little time in mocking the answer. Republican National Committee spokesman Tim Miller tweeted “I’d go w/ utter economic failure.”
And Mitt Romney hit out hard at Obama: “Being president is not about telling stories.”
“Being president is about leading, and President Obama has failed to lead. No wonder Americans are losing faith in his presidency,” Romney said in a statement.
Obama also seemed to make the argument that he just can’t catch a break.
“It’s funny – when I ran, everybody said, ‘well he can give a good speech but can he actually manage the job?’” he said. “And in my first two years, I think the notion was, ‘Well, he’s been juggling and managing a lot of stuff, but where’s the story that tells us where he’s going?’ And I think that was a legitimate criticism.”
“So getting out of this town, spending more time with the American people, listening to them, and also, then, being in a conversation with them about where do we go together as a country, I need to do a better job of that in my second term,” the president said.
“Because hope is still there,” First Lady Michelle Obama added.

What he’s done well: LIE (consistenly, and without any remorse)
What he hasn’t done well: assume that all Americans would believe his BS.
STFU and go away, BHO !

Great comments at the article
‘Well, he’s been juggling and managing a lot of stuff, Really? Try being President on September 11th when this country was attacked. If you want to try to juggle and manage a lot of stuff. Obama, The Complainer and Chief. I don’t remember Bush whining about having juggling and manage a lot of stuff.
Obama’s BIGGEST FAILURE is supporting Amnesty for 12-20 Million criminal Illegal Immigrants and their 30-45 MILLION family members who could then enter through “Anchor Babies” and “Chain Immigration”…. We have ALLLLL seen the attacks by Obama on ANY STATE that tries to FIGHT Illegal Immigration, We have ALLLL seen and heard Obama’s speech to La Raza ( The Race ) promising Amnesty to ALL the Illegals if La Raza could get him votes, to Obama’s RELEASE of 300,000 caught ILLEGAL Immigrants about 7 months ago and his recent shielding of 900,000 to 1.4 Million Illegal Immigrants. Remember each Illegal that Obama gives Amnesty means MILLIONS less jobs for REAL Americans !
Obama’s biggest mistake was taking a job he had no qualifications for it. Now the American people are paying dearly for it

MORE:
From Sen. Obama’s Floor Speech, March 20, 2006:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
Carter lost 44 states, Mondale lost 49, Obama will lose all 57.

I’ve never been closer than being in the same State with Obaloney so I can’t say how much he stinks or not.
But I do know he SUCKS!

“So getting out of this town, spending more time with the American people”
Well, you could invite us all golfing. Maybe some Town Halls at the 19th tee.

Poor Bari, he just never catches a break.
Ummmmm, Obaloney, you’ve been catching a break your entire life – Mr. affirmative action posterboy – it’s how you usurped what used to be the most powerful position in the world.
Actually, I think that it’s more sinister than affirmative action, but the fact remains, you didn’t get there based on your brains and skill set.

OOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!! How I DESPISE this criminal so-called-president. All he’s done (besides spending trillions $$$, sending his fat-butt-in chief and kids on vacation with our $$$$$, disgracing America by sending Winston Churchill back…list is endless), is tall-tales of stories.
This stupid fuck of a liar is lying to us every time he opens his mouth. I’ve never, ever in my life felt this anger and hate towards anyone. God forgive me but I can’t stop this feeling until he’s no longer part of my life.

Amen, Team America. I have Zero respect for Obama and if there is such a thing as negative respect I would have it in droves. Never, have I disrespected a President more than I have Obama. I used to think LBJ, Nixon, Carter and Clinton were bad Presidents but none of the these other Presidents have destroyed my country more than Obama has in the past 3.5 yrs. And if we don’t wake up and get rid of Barry in Nov. we’re in deep shit. NOMOBAMA EVER AGAIN 2012!

Au contraire, Abdul Obama! We have heard Waaaaaaaaaaay tooo many of your stories already! You don’t even remember which stories are true anymore. “Was I born in Kenya or Hawaii? Am I black or white? Did I write my book or did Ayres? Where the hell did I get my social security number, anyway?”

” I need to do a better job of that in my second term,” the president said.

Barry is so confident in his crackpot socialist ideology he actually thought he could flip a switch and “Shazam” – Utopia, and end of the American capitalist system. Typical of a delusional, narcissistic tyrant.
