So...let's get a little rational...four pages of "it's true" challenged by "it's BS" got a little boring. So...for the sake of argument, I'm going to
go out on a limb. I'm going to take this anonymous source from a nothing website at face value, and assume that everything said is true. What does it,
in the end, actually prove about Obama? What information are we not recieving? For all we know:
*Obama has (and I assume MUST have) attended many meetings regarding the war in Afghanistan. Say this was the tenth...we all know that mess of a war
hasn't really changed in a decade. Same sh!t, different day..so I can only assume the reports are very similar. Couple that with the fact that Obama
doesn't seem to support the war could account for a lack of interest...I know I would find it dull.
**The President is no longer allowed to laugh? Did they add that to the oath when I wasn't looking? Perhaps the aide told him the funniest joke he had
ever heard on the way in, and then outdid himself on the way out. Perhaps it's Obama's mechanism for dealing with stress...everybody needs one of
those.
***OH NO! Ten minutes late for a meeting! I'm often that late for my crummy job, and it's not like I run a nation. I'm sure the President is an
incredibly busy person, as that posting demands a lot of an individual's time and energy. There are probably a dozen meetings that he can't even get
to...I'd be more concerned if he was ten minutes early and sat around twidling his thumbs while he waited for everybody else to show up.
--->As a side note, perhaps he was in the can..."No Mr. President, you don't have time to use the bathroom. We must discuss Afghanistan!"
Now, that was all just for the sake of argument. If you think the President is the person who actually runs every aspect of a Nation by themselves,
then you need to really think about what it takes to run a country. One man could not possibly oversee every menial decison...which is why he has a
Joint Staff, and a Cabinet, and aides...so he can delegate. The problem here is that Obama was BUILT UP...yes, he was lifted onto that pedestal by the
American people, and expected to be Superpresident from the planet Krypton. And now that he's not, he's being seen as lazy and unfit for office,
simply because he doesn't live up to the standards that the populace held him to.
Perhaps the "hell" the First Lady referred to was directed at the fact that her husband and her family have to endure so much BS. "They don't go to
church..." "...they must be Muslim, and therefore EVIL (I'm entitled to some sarcastic interpretation)..." "...Obama's GAY..." "...Obama doesn't care
about this country..." Yeah...if I was under constant scrutiny and slanderous assaults such as that, I might have described "life in the White House"
much the same way.
..and I'm not even an Obama supporter...or an American citizen for that matter...but if you're going to throw the man under the bus, at least make
sure of your facts before you do so. As far as I'm concerned, this source is far from credible, and should be treated as such. Speculation is
completely allowed, of course...but don't jump to conclusions simply because your own pre-concieved notions of Barack Obama seem to be proven by this
supposed "insider"...dislike him for what he does, not for what someone claims he is doing.

EDIT:
And yes...though Canadian politics do not get as much attention, we are in desperate need of some new leadership...although, we only hold elections
every thousand years or so...
