Wasn't Obama Hired to do his Job?

If you could see an aura around Obama, it would be fizzy and thin, and probably a light grey color.

Obama appears to have 1. no executive strategy for leading the United States, 2. no intellectual engagement in the principles that must inform policies and 3. no interest in the work such engagement would require.

He is running around the country making insignificant and vapid speeches, looking for photo ops that he hopes will weaken the conservative opposition, and generally wasting the time he should be applying to executing his job as president. When there is any hard work to be done (crafting a budget, developing a health care policy), he punts it to Congress or some Special Committee.

If a CEO were so diffident about and inattentive to his responsibilities, he would be fired.

Grinding long-term unemployment, near-zero earnings on savings, a jittery and undependable stock market - these things are impoverishing a large portion of the population. Nonetheless, Obama fritters his time away vacationing, fund raising and erecting straw men to demolish. And the U.S. has to suffer the damage he is doing for at least 14 more months because there is no mechanism to fire him or make him do his work.
