COMMUNITY ORGANIZER?

Even the NY Times is asking,”Is Obama up to the job?”

The short answer is “no.”

But then, he didn’t run on his executive ability – he ran as “Not Bush,” and he was aided by being “not White” – many people believed they were voting to extinguish a racial component of American culture.

(Actually, Hillary was, and is, the best Democrat for the job as President.)

But the population got exactly what it voted for, an un-Bush, not white president.

The voters were not looking for “executive knowledge” – not that Hillary had much, or McCain either. The populace knows, and has reacted for many decades with Governors in the White House when the voters determined they wanted a chief executive.

For some reason, best known in he hearts of voters, they determined that “executive knowledge” was needed.

That is why Senators have seldom been elected to president – and exactly why this one should not have been. He was not even a long-time Senator.

The job of President is an executive position. It requires people who can accumulate disparate views into a workable policy; motivate everyone to pull in the same direction even if their input did not get major attention; and communicate the message of progress to keep everyone on-board. It also requires that en executive be sufficiently involved to know who is pulling for, who against, and replace the needed parts for success.

That is not the kind of president we voted for, and that is not the kind we got. We got a “community organizer” (Basically, a neighborhood, union organizer.)

Wonderful!

(Not!)
