Illuminating isn't it.

I did watch Obama 2016, a couple of times.

Have you watched Obama 2016? If not you should.

I think you have some very valid points here. I also think he's just middle management and following orders. VJ and moochelle are running the wh.

The word ‘inept’ is being thrown around a lot; I’m just saying everyone should take a closer look; this is a man with a long family history of mental illness.
Even President Wilson’s wife was able to hide from the government and the public her husband was incapacitated by a stroke for a long time.
Obama said about his refusal to go to the border: “this isn’t theater” and “he isn’t interested in another photo-op” all the while people are astounded that he doesn’t grasp why actually seeing the crisis first hand is a leader’s role.
Obama has on his schedule photo-ops, handshaking, and appearing for a speaking engagement in Dallas at a theater. The fact he couldn’t reach for descriptive words in his press appearance to describe the border crisis without using words and language written on his itinerary from and for his next schedule stop --*big Trouble with a capital T” I’m seeing cognitive issues. He is all over this 3.4 billion dollar plan, but seriously--who came up with the figure? When did he have time to look the data over? He has been in Texas being photo-bombed. Yet, he keeps repeating it over and over, almost like this is what he was told to do. When did he have the time to write an op-ed piece for a Jerusalem paper praising the Palestine president? Did you hear about that? I don’t think Obama wrote it. This is a guy who was the head of the Harvard Review and wrote SQUAT. Somebody needs to catch Obama off-guard and ask him about it. He doesn’t know what is going on. He isn’t well. If they give him 3.4 billion then the real weasels will manipulate and funnel the funds to campaigns and special interest.
That’s it, Pirate!! Off my soapbox! *BG*

You are probably very close to the truth here.

I have been saying it for years now. His team is putting out pictures of him playing pool while he laughs off someone suggesting he get high in the middle of a crisis involving small, young hungry children covered in lice? Forget the bad optics. Think about the message they are trying to convey: Obama is relaxed and on top of things. I’m not buying it, are you? I think they put that image out there a little too often for my comfort. I’m going to go out on a limb here but I think Valerie Jarrett doesn’t want Obama to go to the border or visit one of these camps because he isn’t strong enough mentally to handle the stress of the situation. I don’t think Obama is the real threat; I think all the radicals that surround him are running the show and that’s the real danger. The EPA announces it will start taking paychecks without a warrant. They announce this on their own. That’s huge, and yet, there were no preceding remarks from Obama to set the tone? This is a big win for environmentalists, and yet, the President isn’t messaging in any shape or form to show this is due to his leadership? Something is terribly wrong.

An interesting idea.

The request to Perry that came from the WH came from Valerie Jarrett. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around that one.

I still think Obama has gone mental and Jarrett and them are hiding it; they are keeping his schedule to only handshaking, photo-ops, teleprompter speeches, performing at fundraisers: he does everything and anything that doesn’t involve him being evaluated for his ability to respond to normal questions. He isn’t allowed to be photographed anymore unless previously arranged. What are they hiding?

Watch: Perry will sit-in on a roundtable discussion that will turn into a photo-op that he will leave feeling like his time was wasted. Obama is the President of the country. He should have picked up the phone and called Governor Perry. Something is seriously wrong.

Perry should say...

I am sorry, we recommend you not come to Texas at all. The local Law Enforcement personnel that would normally back up the Secret Service are unavailable. They are all fully engaged at the border.

Hell no he won't. And good for Perry for having the balls to snub him. It's what he deserves. (Well ...he deserves more than a snubbing.....)

Perry looks a lot more Presidential than Obama right now. Still, he could have done what Jan Brewer did and get in his face for all the cameras to see.

He should be dissing the president. The president (I mean dictator) has earned this disrespect by creating this mess.

It was smart to follow up with a letter asking for a private meeting. Perry can't be seen as just dissing the President. The Governor appears to be taking the matter seriously and Obama seems as unaware as ever.
