The Thrill is Gone

[Gaspar]

Chris Matthews is apparently done with the President.  He's saying exactly EXACTLY! what others have been saying for 3-4 years.  President Obama could have been a good president if he had just taken the job seriously and quit campaigning.  People tend to do what they are passionate about, even if that is not within their chosen profession.  President Obama likes audiences.  He likes to captivate a crowd with words.  He does not like the responsibility behind his words.

"What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians -- that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn't particularly like the press.... He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft," Matthews said.

"So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere," Matthews continued. "But what part does he like? He doesn't like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn't like selling to the press. He doesn't like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn't seem to like being an executive."

If we were wishing....I wish we could have had either Hillary or McCain....

Well, McCain before he sold out to the teas...
