So here we are just seven days from the election and suddenly it is only now that Barry has felt the sudden urge to act like the president? In using the aftermath of what has been called the worst storm to hit the northeast in more than a lifetime, Barry "Almighty" has made a conscious effort to 'play' at being president even though, oddly enough, he did not actually have time to 'be' president at the time, four of our fellow Americans were being slaughtered in Benghazi. And when they asked for help they were told to stand down and were denied any requests for support that just might have prevented them for being killed. And in what can only be described as being a very concerted effort to keep voters' attention distracted away from what has been a disastrous record of the last four years and, more recently, his callously allowing four Americans to die, he is now desperately trying to act the part of president during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Now I'm sure we've all heard him make the same idiotic claims over and over about how he's not concerned about the impact on the elections. But let's face it, after having watched the man as we have been forced to do over the course of the last fur years, when has he ever done anything that wasn't done with a great deal of forethought of how the next election would be effected? I mean, really, am I the only one who thinks it more than just a little odd that he suddenly shows up in the briefing room, the briefing room from which he has been MIA for about, what, a month and a half? On Libya, or for anything else for that matter. Then you get the photo-ops of him in the Situation Room deploying, I guess, the utility crews who will restore power all over America. Whereas you would think he might want to use the Situation Room and had convene high level people during the nine hours our people were under attack in Benghazi.
One thing I don't Barry ever had a firm grasp on was the fact that when you're the president you don't really have the luxury of being able to pick and choose your times to actually be president. But I'm wondering just how people he thinks he might be able to fool, or who might ultimately be fooled, by his playing president, playing Commander-in-Chief during what is a bona fide natural disaster that doesn't really require much leadership from the White House. In time such as this, it's the local leaders, and the first responders who are the one who are called upon the most. All the president is called upon to do is to release money and we all know how really good Barry is at releasing money all the while pretending that it has nothing to do with politics. He's desperate to use this opportunity to showcase himself as being in command and as being a leader. And he may benefit from all the attention being diverted away from
Now I think it fair to say, although I suppose many in Barry's camp might disagree, that Romney has clearly had the momentum, while it has slowed down it is still heading in his direction. But I suppose we can't be sure what will happen once the country sort of wakes up after this deluge of news coverage of the storm in three days or so and refocuses its attention on the campaign. So we wait and see whether or not the momentum will still be there or will have dissipated, that pretty much remains an open question. I'd like to think that there remains in this country enough intelligent people capable of being able recognize that someone's merely playing the part of president seven days from the election does not wipe out acting like everything but a president for the last four years. WE can't afford to allow ourselves to be fooled into believing that Barry has suddenly decided to take his job seriously.
So are there voters who will be swayed by this most recent attempt by Barry to play at being president? I'm sure some will be naïve enough, or stupid enough, to fall for Barry's little charade. I just hope there will be enough who refuse to get sucked in. The bottom line here is that we cannot afford four more years of what we've gotten over the course of the last four years. And just because Barry has picked this time, 7 days from an election to act as he thinks a president should act does not alter the fact that for the last four years he has acted more like a dictator that a president. And it does not erase the fact that he allowed four Americans to be slaughtered, WHILE HE WATCHED IN REAL TIME, and then saw fit to refuse to send them any back up. Does he really expect us to just ignore all of that simply because he goes out there and stands in the middle of the carnage left behind by Hurricane Sandy?
