Obie talks a good game, but he's not the one to lead us out of the wilderness.

We need someone who has hair on their ass, Like Andrew Jackson or TR. Someone who doesn't care if they have the job or not.

Hate to say it, but Obie's a go along to get along politician. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Chas, I wish I could disagree with you but I can't. Maybe Obama will get to grips with some of these problems he inherited but I can't see that he is just now.

Part of the problem is that he's taking economic policy advice from some of the people who created the mess in the first place like Bernanke, Geithner and Summers. Meanwhile brilliant guys like Paul Krugman and Robert Reich are frozen out.

Presidents are like cops. Anyone who really wants the job shouldn't be allowed to have it.

Or as Douglas Adams, one of my favorite authors, would say, "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
