While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, a doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Barack Obama and his bid to be our President.
The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘post turtle.’”
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a “post turtle” was.
“When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top,” The old rancher said, “that’s a ‘post turtle.’”
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face so he continued to explain.
“You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there and you just wonder what kind of idiot put him up there to begin with.”
…from someone like yourself who clearly reads a great deal, does independent analysis, and has a grasp of economics and politics, I’d like to know what in Obama’s record leads you to believe that he is incompetent. (My word, though it seems to fit with the message expressed by your post.)
I am not naive enough to believe he is likely to affect as much progress as he’d like us to believe, but I do believe he has a chance to be a decent president.
And if your answer is simply that he’s not Ron Paul or will follow a program like Paul’s, while I respect that view, I’m not interested. I’d like to know if you believe he will be unable to perform adequately as president of the United States in the manner of his predecessors who have and if so, why.
Some right-wingers actually have substance to back up their stances.
You’re just taking pot-shots at anyone to the left of you. It’s old and tired.
Why not spend some time listening to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity so, at the very least, can parrot some party-line BS to show where you’re coming from.
