Our fearless leader is coming out today using his most power weapon, his teleprompter....er, his words to try and
soothe the fear of Americans during this economic downturn.
Obama is his own words:
"I don't think things are ever as good as they say, or ever as bad as they say," Obama added. "Things two years ago were not as good as we thought because there were a lot of underlying weaknesses in the economy. They're not as bad as we think they are now."
"And my long-term projections are highly optimistic, if we take care of some of these long-term structural problems."
This is a far cry from his words in late February.
"The economy's performance in the last quarter of 2008 was the worst in over 25 years. And frankly the first quarter of this year holds out little promise for better returns,"
Matter of fact, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer told Obama to
lighten up.
Everyone just raved during the campaign about how calm, cool and collected Obama was. He never got too high, never got too low, he was just SOOOOO presidential.
Well, it's a lot different when you actually have the job. Obama has been off message and that message has been inconsistent at best.
Bottom line, Americans need a strong and steady leader at times like this and frankly, policies aside (which are wrong too), Obama is failing miserably.
