You know why I hate this man?
Real presidents, Great presidents, always feel like theyre not matching up.
They struggle, feeling that they could do more, they question themselves, question whether theyre making the right choices, the constantly mull over whats going on and listen to the voices around them.
Obama self proclaims himself the 4th best president in history (Who the fuck does that? What great president in history has stylized himself as a great president?), he doesnt listen to his constituents, he thinks he has all the answers, he doesnt mull over his choices, he spends his time mulling over the NCAA and golfing. He is not the person he puts himself out there as.
He doesnt make the hard choices.
A real president makes the hard choices, the ones that flies in the face of his ideals when its in the best interest of the nation.
A real president doesnt worry about re-election, he worries about getting the nation back on track. If the right choices are made and things turn around, he is going to get re elected, he shouldnt have to buy votes by promising people what they want even when the policy is fiscally isolvent.
A real president does whats best for the nation even if the general public is against it, because if its the right choice, the citizens will figure it out and will thank him for it later.
Barack Obama is not a great president, no matter how hard he tries to convince us otherwise. Great Presidents do not need to try and convince the public of their greatness.
