I'd Rather Be Golfing

A number of conservatives have criticized Obama's less-than-energetic reaction to the attempted terrorist bombing in Detroit. Here's how Michelle Malkin describes it:

[Obama's tiredness as of late] helps explain President McCrankyPants’ hasty, bloodless, perfunctory statement yesterday on the Christmas Day jihad attack and the Iranian crackdown.

But what else did you expect from a man who has been phoning it in from the beginning of his brief political career as the Illinois state senator who voted “present” nearly 130 times?

Americans can help alleviate the exhausted commander-in-chief’s discomfort by ensuring his retirement in 2012.


It's true his last few public appearances during his Hawaiian vacation have been less than rousing, but I generally believe it's best to ignore the speeches politicians make and concentrate on what they're doing. (Speeches often give you an indication of this, but not necessarily.)

Obama now has another problem on his plate. That's what being President means. We'll see what he does, but immediate reactions aren't the best way to take his measure.

Totally do not care where Obama is. The only thing these exercises do is show how false the frequent back and forth hypocrisy charges are.
Oh but one must admit that they can hurt one politically. Out of political prudence he should have a. worn a suit, or b. hopped a plane to DC
