I voted for Obama... enthusiastically... in 2012, because I was impressed with the competence and policies of his first term. It was just what the country needed. I liked that he surrounded himself with a kind of dream team. Robert Gates. Leon Panetta. David Patreus. Hillary Clinton. Many others. It was what I was looking for: competence first.
This second Obama Administration... out goes the adults and the experts. In comes Obama's lackies and sycophants, with policies to back it up. This has been the mirror of his first term. Why in god's name does Susan Rice still have a job? And John Fucking Kerry? And Chuck Hagel? What in gods name? This nonsense regarding the Budget Control Act? Defense Cuts? It's all obscene.
Romney said some sincerely stupid shit during the campaign, but he was my governor and a very good one. It was a mistake not to vote for him. Obama I was great. Obama II gets worse and worse. And the problem is that without the experience of his first term team, Obama's personal failures... his personal weaknesses as a leader and as a President, become magnified.
The last 2 years has made me very hesitant to support a liberal in office ever again, no matter what the conservative says. Obama is a weak man and a weak President. This country needs better leadership than he or his capable of offering.
