Obama is Discombobulated

So what happens when we have a President who is trying to learn on the job? Case in point, Barack Obama, has stormed into office pushing his progressive agenda and ideology on the American people before realizing his beliefs may actually be flawed, outdated, and or misguided. Thus, what we are witnessing in President Barack Obama is a very discombobulated president who is continuously changing his mind and strategies to combat his misguided and flawed philosophies.
During Obama’s campaign for the presidency he conveniently changed his mind on campaign contributions once he realized he was raking in massive quantities of cash. When people criticized his associations with Jeremiah Wright and other controversial figures, he conveniently severed these long standing relationships. When people criticized Obama’s patriotism because he did not wear an American Flag pin on his dress coats he changed course. One day without any notice Obama, all the sudden, Obama was beaming with patriotism because he was wearing his American Flag pin proudly on his coat.

Obama ran as a centrist who claimed he could bridge our national divide; he said he would eliminate earmarks and pork barrel spending; he promised to go over the budget line by line to eliminate waste; he said he would put an end to special interest influence in Washington; he claimed he would run the most transparent administration is U.S. history; and he promised to eliminate lobbyists in his administration. Well, how is Obama grading out on these promises? Our national divide is as large as it has ever been; the stimulus package may have been the biggest piece of pork riddled legislation in our history; Obama will not even pass a budget this year, which also says something about the administrations transparency; and his cabinet is loaded with dozens of lobbyists and people tied to special interest groups such as unions. Obama’s has made little effort to meet his campaign promises. Obama was also proclaimed as the man who can transcend race in our country, but he botched the Cambridge incident (between African American Harvard professor Henry Gates, and a white Cambridge policeman James Crowley) proving he is just as racially insensitive as any common person.

Once elected into office Obama did not waste time to push his progressive ideologies. He signed an executive order declaring Guantanamo Bay will be closed within a year. Well, it is becoming clearer that Obama may never close Guantanamo Bay. Obama pledged he would not hold enemy combatant detainees indefinitely and even granted them equivalent rights to American citizens. However, he has backed off both these pledges and is currently seeking to redefine Miranda Rights for detainees so they can be interrogated. Obama’s arrogance exposed his ignorance about the intricate details related to the war on terror. The Obama administration is also flip flopping on its misguided decision to hold the Khalid Sheikh Muhammad (KSM) trial in New York City. In fact, he may decide to hold KSM’s trial in a military tribunal that he also pledged to eliminate.

Obama legislation such as ObamaCare was passed using reconciliation methodology that Obama openly criticized years earlier. He paid for the bill by taxing Cadillac insurance plans that he publically criticized McCain for proposing during the campaign. Meanwhile, during speeches to the NAACP and other groups he challenged Americans to be more responsible, but then goes on to pass yet another entitlement in ObamaCare.

This is what happens when we elect a community organizer with no practical experience as the President of the United States. We get a man that is indecisive and is unable to effectively manage a crisis, case in point, the current recession and the Gulf oil spill. Face it; Obama is nothing more than a flip flopping machine.
