Barry the Wimp Can't Win

Barry Obama always had a two term strategy for his presidency. Do big things out of the box, then lay back and count on his general likability and a gradually improving economy to carry him to the second term. In the second term take off the gloves and get aggressive.

Several things went off track along the way. The 2010 elections that put the opposition back in the legislative majority. A balky economy, mostly an uncooperative private sector that wants a return to power. His own deliberative, practical personality that makes him seem weak. Tons of other surprising shit that pops up every week.

If he eaks out a victory in 2012 he might grow a pair. His best election stategy is to somehow impregnate old Michelle with a male heir or bring in a big bag of Al Qaeda heads to roll in front of us.

Barry's biggest mistake was his selection of his inner circle. Rahm was exceptional, now he will rule Chicago like a Sultan. Larry Summers and Giethner were some ofthe engineers of the recession and champions of bad banking. Axelrod is a political chessman, a robotic liar and a blubbering idiot. All the others are fawning lackies with cell phones. Barry has no Harold Ickes, Harry Hopkins or cabinet stalwarts like FDR. Biden will not pass as an intimate but he is bold.

You can't promise hope and change and sit on your hands. Close Guantanamo, end the frigging wars, tax the ricos, regulate the markets, stand up to the military and get the people on your side. Barry has mostly wasted his first four years. His talent for equivocation blurs the line of letting money rule over actual people power.

Yes, I think Obama is sandbagging and the dam might break.

Futhermore, I fear he is an actual wimp and a second term will only sink us deeper in the muck.

My formula includes weight training, a high protein diet and maybe a squirt of testosterone. Oh, and the truth, can we ever hear a smidgen of truth?

If he was a gentleman he'd pass the ball to Hillary.
