ODS Obama Derangement Syndrome
If Obama makes a speech about a specific issue, hes just spewing pretty words. If Obama doesnt speak on a specific issue, hes trying to hide something. Or he should have spoken about something else entirely, because when he gets specific about one issue, that means hes ignoring all of the really important issues he should be speaking about those issues being whatever it was he didnt mention.
If Obama did it, it must have been the wrong thing to do. When it turns out to have been the right thing to do, then Obama never did it. And if he did do it, he did it the wrong way. It was too little, too late or it was too much, too soon. It went too far while, at the same time, it didnt go far enough. And even if it turns out to have been right, its still wrong.
If Obama proposed it, it cant possibly work. When it does work, it was somebody elses idea all along, an idea he blatantly stole just to make himself look good. Thats because he knew it would work all along even though it cant possibly work.
If Obama stands firm, he is being stubborn. If he seeks compromise, he is caving. Obama should lead while following. He should be more hands-on while staying out of it completely. Why cant he take the reins and do what must be done? Why cant he mind his own goddamned business?
