Mr. Obama is a very active President. His strongest qualification for the office seems to be his charismatic personality. With or without teleprompters he is a convincing public speaker and employs his talent with considerable skill. It is very interesting, if not down right suspicious, that his personal history is rather uncertain. A voting citizen has to wonder why he finds it necessary to obscure his personal records - and his adult accomplishments. There is some sort of mystery here?
Never-the-less, Mr. Obama has illustrated the extent of damage one person can inflict on a nation. It's not simply that I disagree with his concept of government, and I definitely do, it is that I can find nothing positive or of value that he has done while in office. I my judgement this is amazing. I never thought it possible. The Founding Fathers worked overtime to design a government of three equal but separate parts. It was not a new concept, but it had never before been refined so that each part looked over the shoulder of the other two, and in this way our democratic republic had a path to the future with abundant and clear, permanent guideposts.
Most of our past Presidents, whether Democrat, Liberal, Bull Moose, Anti-Slavery, Republican, Conservative, Socialist, or Independent - Tried, really tried to stay within the guideposts. Until Mr. Obama arrived.
In the recent past, for example, Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to convince the nation that the recession and World War II required his to stray. To push the government structure, to guide the economic system, and to revise the Supreme court. In retrospect, nothing he did outside of our guideposts had real and substantial positive results.
