Punching Above Your Weight
« on: March 17, 2011, 09:24:46 PM »
Welcome to the West Wing Week, your guide to everything that's happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This week, Education Month continued, with President Obama asking Congress to fix No Child Left Behind before the beginning of the coming school year. The President also updates the American people on relief efforts in Japan and pledges continued support. The Prime Minister of Denmark, Taoiseach of Ireland, and the Chicago Blackhawks also stopped by.

Obama's disconnect: Failed leadership
Friday, March 18, 2011

Barack Obama certainly is living up to his billing as one poor excuse for a president and an even poorer excuse for a leader.

Much of the Middle East is ablaze in revolution, the thuggery of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi being the highlight of how low megalomaniacs will go to stay in power.

And, of course, the nuclear tragedy unfolding in Japan, following the devastating earthquake and tsunami, is reeling the world.

Then there's that little matter of a looming government shutdown.

But what's the leader of the free world been up to?

On Wednesday, Mr. Obama appeared on ESPN to announce his picks for the NCAA basketball tournament.

Earlier in the week, he gave "exclusive" interviews to TV stations from around the country -- including Pittsburgh's KDKA -- on "education reform." (KDKA's story catapulted pro forma local TV video stenography to news lows.)

Saturday last, when not giving his weekly radio address on the critically important issue of Women's History Month, Obama was playing golf -- reported to be the 61st round of his presidency -- joking that it was not "playing" at all but an "investment."

That was fast on the heels of his riveting summit on "bullying."

Can you imagine how the mainstream media would have reacted to such disconnected behavior had it been a Republican president?

This isn't a matter of "optics" but one of judgment. This president is woefully out of touch with reality and how a leader should behave in such trying times. And it's not just conservatives and Republicans saying it -- it's liberals and Democrats, too, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia among them.

Asked Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck, "Has someone hit this man with a stupid stick or a tranquilizer dart?"

Both, and at the same time, we are forced to conclude.
