"Did you plug the hole Daddy?"

Obama's press conference last week was a disgrace. He believes his "golden voice" will always carry the day, so instead of answering questions directly and to the point, he filibusters to simply use up time. It's a classic tactic for a blowhard politician - set a specific time for the press conference and then use up the time by giving long meaningless answers to limit the questions. And Obama is a master at it. It took him 30 minutes in a one hour press conference to answer the first two questions - both about the oil spill.

And then to use these stupid anecdotes to show how the problem is foremost in his mind; like his daughter coming into the bathroom in the morning and asking "Did you plug the hole daddy?" It reminds me of the Democratic Representative during the Health Care debate telling the story of the old lady that had to use her dead sister's false teeth because she had no medical insurance. These politicians must think the American people are just plain stupid.

And then our "leader" goes to the Gulf for a photo op shown picking up tar balls on the beach. He looks at the camera and explains: "See these tar balls, they are actually from the oil spill". Thanks Mr. President we did not know that.

Then he's off to Chicago for a long weekend vacation rather than honor our dead soldiers at Arlington on Memorial Day. As one crusty old veteran put it; "I'm glad he's not going to Arlington, it would soil that hallowed ground". I suspect most of the military feel the same way.

So to those who read my Blog that are Obama fans, I apologize if this is harsh. But the hole I would like to plug is his mouth; when he opens it we all know it's more of the same - all talk and no action.
