Obama Meets World

Look, let's be blunt -- A street organizer isn't a very big job, nor is a lecturer at college, and please, spare me the elected official experience crap, they just run, hide and obfuscate when the decision goes bad. Need an example of elected officials running, hiding, obfuscating, and in many cases just outright lying, look at how the very same Senate Democrats talk about their Iraq war votes then and now -- I rest my case with elected officials.

In the end, none of these positions carries the weight of responsibility for actions that the Presidency calls for.

As I see it, Obama spent all his learning time to date, learning how to speak, reading lines that are professionally written from a Teleprompter with the right nuisances and speech inflections -- it's called acting. But then the real world shows up, this is where you must have real world experiences or your answers sounds weird to the listener, it's called thinking.

Obama just sounds, weird -- Several of my neighbors bought the extra serving of Obama coolaide. In the last few days talking with them, they were, uh, umm, yes, ah, ummm -- genuinely embarrassed by what they saw during the Saddleback debate ... They are now like lost souls, their dreams crushed.

The actor can't think -- Like most actors, the fact they can read professionally written scripts goes to their head, and they begin to believe they can think in the same manner as the scripts. But then it all goes bad -- When confronted with the real world and it's rough and tumble, unpredictable ways, sadly, actors are at their core an actor, and you cannot 'act the real world'. We have many examples of this parading around daily on the TV screen. Empty headed actors, acting like deep thinkers -- Obama clones.

We call the actor bubble-headed or some such, don't we?

It's quite simple really, who Obama is, he is an actor. Not someone you want when you need a thinker or doer. That's why the McCain ad with Britney and Paris bit so hard, went right to the core -- And Obama knows it.

Obama is not ready for the job.
