Why criticize obama for his poor showing?? Yes it was embarrassingly lacking in class, leadership, and respect for our armed forces, but that is hardly something new for him.
Keep in mind that obama is the most unqualified, inept, unfit, and ill-prepared president in history - not even close. The uncaring and dismissive attitude shown toward our military by giving the tragedy in Texas second billing behind lighthearted politicking and pandering reflects the same uncaring attitude he has shown for our troops in Afghanistan for months now.
The 2012 elections cannot come soon enough for our country to give him the pink slip so he can join the ranks of the unemployed, which now stands at a nominal 10.2% and actually much higher. The administration's only response is to prop up the stock market. Other than that, it is politics and spin as usual.
Unless the American people show some common sense and take back the house and Senate in 2010, it will likely be too late. Indeed, it very well may too late now.
We chose him to be our "leader" and we are getting what we deserve, nothing less.
