Obama’s Patriotic Visit To USS Arizona

A New Year’s resolution for our Campaign Commander in Chief: President Obama announced today from Hawaii he will distance himself from Washington DC and Congress during 2012.

Is this something new, or have I been missing something for the past three years?

It is but a reconfirmation of his leadership strategy.  If you can’t learn to play in my game, I’m going to take my basketball and go on the road.

The boy from Chicago?, Hawaii?. Kenya?, is playing in the sand box again in his last year of his first term.

Imagine the CEO of GE, Jeffery Immelt, one of Obama’s Czar’s, abandoning the Corporate offices, his employees and going on the road for a year to visit with other businesses?  Perhaps campaigning for another position?

Stockholders and Wall Street would go bonkers.

But we the people have become use to this form of behavior from our alleged leader in the White House.  I don’t know if the house is located in DC anymore?

Despite my business learning and acumen – I got that boast from Obama – and athletic endeavors, I must have been misguided about the term leadership.

I always thought it had to do with team play and the leader, the CEO, Coach, or Captain, who brought diverse opinions together to form a coalition for a common cause.

They still teach this today in the case history studies and halls of Harvard, but then again Obama was in the Law school there, I think?

Well from Hawaii, where else, this is what we learned about the president’s New Year’s resolution:

“In terms of the president’s relationship with Congress in 2012 – the state of the debate, if you will – the president is no longer tied to Washington, DC,” spokesman Josh Earnest said in a news briefing in Honolulu.

The LA Times said: “The assertion is striking given that Obama, as president for nearly three years, is the symbol and personification of the federal government. It also offers a glimse into an Obama reelection strategy that will target a “do-nothing” Congress much in the style of Harrry S.  Truman’s reelection campaign in 1948.”

How about a “do nothing president”?  And if Obama is such a history buff, I believe it was Harry Truman who said, “The buck stop’s here”, about his presidency.

Well, Obama doesn’t have Bush to bash around anymore it might as well be Congress.

Perhaps while he is out of the White House and out of touch with Congress, he should adopt the slogan, “Bashing you can believe in.”
