Not Ready

Barely into his first week in office, Obama is working on convincing me has not matured enough or developed the temperament to hold the highest office in the land. Play this video and I will explain further.



Note his intent, "I came down here to visit," not adding, "my adoring fans." Here is a man with a pathological need to be liked, and his instincts are that the press room is the place to satisfy that urge, the way Clinton knew to look for chubby interns. Unfortunately, some members of the press seemed willing to oblige:

The president was quickly saved by a cameraman in the room who called out: “I’d like to say it one more time: ‘Mr. President.’ ”

News flash for Mr. Obama. The press are not your friends, they're not your groupies, they're not you're biggest fans. They are supposed to be the "fourth estate," keeping our government honest by asking those tough questions. Get used to it.

Part two of my complaint is that Obama wants to be seen as the "coolest dude." He's like this geek that was somehow transformed, and he just can't stop showing off his utter coolness: From the same Politico.com article:

He revealed that he had already gotten in two work outs since being sworn in Tuesday.

"Turns out I have a little gym up there," he said with a smile.

This man needs to mature fast, for the sake of the country. Hopefully not as a result of a tragedy he could have prevented.
