Obama Gets One Thing Right – So Far
Don’t get me wrong and don’t start tazing me until you read what I say here – wondering how many people have come to the realization already ahead of me. Whatever if they do – I’m writing it anyway, in my own unique idiom.
Or I’ll just blame it on my antiquated computer. Seems to be the going excuse this week.
- Action: Obama goes to Copenhagen to pitch for the Chicago bid for the Games. Outcome: Chicago gets eliminated handily in the first round. Obama Fail Score – 1
Action: Obama gets on the stump for the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races. Outcome: Seats held by Democrats flip to the GOP. Obama Fail Score – 3 (one for each)- Action: Obama goes back to Copenhagen to vehemently speak for unity on Climate Change. Outcome: The so-called Copenhagen Accords fall dismally short of desired goals. China stonewalls the talks, makes Obama look like a jerk, the US like idiots, and the greens lap it up as more anti-American fodder. Obama Fail Score – 5 (that gaffe was so bad, it made Baghdad Bob look credible)
So now, the next big PR flop-portunity comes to bear – the Massachusetts senatorial special election and while Scott Brown has already urged Obama to stay away from the Bay State, it would seem that Obama has actually learned something – if you don’t want to come away with egg on your face, yet again, do yourself and your party candidate a favor – don’t show up. He hasn’t showed up in Massachusetts.
He’s still too busy with all of those closed-room debates on the health deform bill, which were supposed to be broadcast on C-SPAN. Obama Fail Score – 6 (or is it 13, since he promised it, what, eight times?)
Either way, with more than 50% of Americans ready to chuck an egg at the Amateur-in-Chief, it would seem he’s learnt a little something. But I can’t wait for him to go back into campaign mode later this summer. I still have six eggs in this carton yet to toss.
