By now I'm sure that you have heard all about our president's trip to London for the G20. Published reports have told us that the staff that made the trip was 500 strong. He took his own chef, specialized O-mobile, 200 secret service agents and several decoy helicopters.
No wonder the rest of the world looks at spoiled Americans with disdain. Do you remember when then Democrat candidate Obama chastised the country for being comfortable?
His exact words were, “We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times...and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”
We can't, but he can. Yes, he can! Yes, he can!
Anyway, when you're the President of the United States of America, it is a different story. We can't do those things, but he can. According to David Axelrod, he keeps it so balmy in the Oval Office that he could grow orchids.
He can transport all of his presidential toys across the Atlantic for a few meetings. He can bring along a personal assistant/brother-in-law/one-on-one basketball partner named Reggie Love to hand him a tic-tac when he needs one.
He can park that 15,000 pound Cadillac, which has been described as a hardened missile silo on wheels, right in front of the garden entrance driveway at Buckingham Palace. His driver did just that upon he and Michelle's visit with the Queen. There was only one problem – the prince wanted to leave the Palace, so the Caddy had to go.
I have to laugh so I don't cry. All we have seen from this administration in the first 70 days has been like amateur hour. They are coming off like complete buffoons every where they go. Clarke Griswold looks like Einstein in front our president right now.
A few weeks ago he gave the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, a collection of cheesy DVDs that couldn't even be played across the pond. Then, Secretary of State Clinton gave the Russians a “re-set” button that really meant “overcharge.” Where do they get their help? Circuit City? My nine year old armed with a Dell Mini and Google translation services would do better.
Next, the Best Buy geek squad czar who recommends all these wonderful gifts must have just missed the cut to make the G20 because somebody decided to give the Queen an Ipod. Yes, of course, she already had one, but not one pre-loaded with can't-live-without Broadway show tunes and, you guessed it – legendary Obama speeches. Amazing! Priceless! Not even Stephen King could make up something so terrifying. I wonder how the First Lady even rides in that big limo between him and his ego.
Since the inauguration, the markets have tanked. Unemployment is cresting 10 percent. Our currency is not worth the paper on which it is so rapidly being printed, and all I have heard from our distinguished leader is something like, “Hey, I didn't do it, Bush did.”
Classless, petty, and dangerous.
By day he fires CEOs and by night he parties with the likes of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind, and Fire.
I'm sorry but I just expect more out of a president. I expect more maturity, more gravity. I expect fewer jokes on Letterman and less hypocrisy behind the Resolute Desk.
Sadly, what can be expected from a one term Senator turned President?
Presidential Karaoke is all I have seen thus far.

Amen! It all makes me sick and that is what they all do blame it on the republicans before them. They never want to take the blame. It reminds me of little children who point the finger at someone else. Come leaders of the United States stand up and be men and women, quit acting like children.
Hey Mike, if it is true what they say, "the hit dog barks" then Obama be barking tonight. Thanks for the good words in hard days brother. Keep 'em flying! God bless. Moz Boy
I would like to borrow this one and send it to several folks!
I pray that the Obamas cannot rest at night til they listen to His voice!
The Russian button ---was a bit sad/funny all in one. You would think they would have the word translated correctly!!!
