Fish Out of Water

   My prime objection to candidate Obama was his lack of experience, zero
   in executive roles. It shows already. Plus, his rumored ignorance of
   world history is already largely confirmed judging by his foreign
   policy to date. People skills? Appointing Tom Daschle to anything? As
   he admits, his error, but a completely unforced error.
   My President is a fish out of his Chicago machine waters. His solution
   so far seems to be to bring (more) Chicago politics to Washington,
   starting with a big wad of spreading around money. It worked before
   when President Clinton brought what was accepted practice in Arkansas
   to the White House, didn't it? Not exactly, but give President Clinton
   his due. Even at his lowest, he retained a forceful executive style
   that had to be respected as Newt Gingrich found out.
   As I survey the economic news, I hope for the best, but I fear the
   worst economy I've ever known and I remember Jimmy Carter. One hope
   was that a President Obama would inspire some confidence. That hope is
   gone in just 3 weeks.
