President Obama has set some records in his first 10 months in office, none of which are very noteworthy.  He has traveled the world more than any other president, appeared on television more often than any former president and accomplished a first in receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for promises, all during his first year in office.

He is the most self-promoting president this nation has ever had.  He casts-off and apologies for our nation’s past because he sees and promotes himself as the change agent of the future.  Prior to taking office he said at a rally, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”  His rhetoric and promises got him the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize he will accept – admitting that it was not for achievements – but for hope.

He is now on his eighth foreign trip and has visited 20 countries in 10.5 months with one more to come.  The only other president to come close to Obama’s first-year-in-office globe-trotting  is President George H. W. Bush, who took 7 foreign trips to 14 countries.  Obama will make his ninth trip next month to Oslo to accept the Nobel Prize.

While our unemployment rate is at 10.2%,  our underemployment rate at 17.5%; and we are waiting months for a troop-surge deployment-decision in Afghanistan, Obama is in Asia talking green.

At home our congress is attempting to ram through a socialist health reform bill costing a minimum of $1 trillion, which will result in the further loss of jobs and an increase of taxes, which  follows a $200 billion TARP program for banks, a stimulus program of $787 billion that promised to hold unemployment at 8%; but instead is reaching for 12%, all while the nation is in debt to the tune of $2.9 trillion.

On the war front, he no longer thinks there is a war on terrorism, despite the fact that a US Muslim soldier took the lives of 13, plus a fetus, and wounded some 30 persons at Fort Hood last week.

On the job-front we can be assured he is paying attention to this critical issue – he will hold once again one of his famous Summit’s at the White House next month to address jobs with rhetoric rather than employment.

Meanwhile, Obama is on his way to Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea leaving the Justice Department to announce that the 9/11  detainees being held in Guantanamo Bay are being transferred to New York for a civilian trial rather than a military trial.  All have pleaded guilty to their crimes.

The politically motivated move, designed for disclosure while Obama is on foreign soil, is very controversial for a variety of legal and emotional reasons.  The decision is a step toward achieving one of Obama’s campaign, but foolhardy and politically correct promises, to close the prison at Gitmo.

Perhaps President Obama should take as much time as he has in making a decision on Afghanistan and globe-trotting the world, to setting priorities.

Suggestions: 1. Create jobs 2. Pay down the debt 3. Pull out of Afghanistan; you’re a soft president on defense, don’t put our military in harms way with half a loaf  4. Scrap your socialism agenda – the people don’t want it 5. Muddle through your other mis-guided programs with your teleprompter, for after all you are a one-term president.
