The pResident is dancing barefoot on the white house (spell check suggested whorehouse, might just be appropriate…) lawn while our troops are dying,  our credit rating is going in the toilet, the stock market is dropping like a rock and nobody in DC seems to be in driving the car.

Everything seems to be normal – we go to work (if we have a job), we go to the store, we spend time with our families, life goes on….

Wake up – Rome is burning and  our elected officials are fiddling.

Evidently, the pResident has a bad case of “Can’t Remember Shit”. Maybe he should view the video below to refresh his memory….

The seat-warmer in the White House has announced that he is running for the office of President of the United States in 2012. So, lets take this chance to look at his qualifications for the office and his accomplishments 2+ years into his first (and , G-d help us, last) term.

Requirement #1,2 &3

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

Number one is the big one: kind of like  the Covergirl model. Is he or isn’t he? I really don’t know – it has degenerated into a “He says, She says” argument and since an inordinate amount of time and money have been spent to seal the pertinent records, we may NEVER know for sure.  I say “Prove it” . If I have to cough up my birth certificate for a passport, surely running for POTUS should have similar requirements. If he has nothing to hide, then he could stop all the speculation easily.  (As an interesting aside, if BO should prove NOT to be a “natural born citizen” of the US – is all of the legislation he signed into law, null and void?)

Numbers two and three are a Yes, – he is 35 years old or older and has lived in the US at least 14 years. Which one of the “57″ states he lived in is up for discussion.

Now, on to his accomplishments in this last (nearly) 2 1/2 years in office:

I have a link which claims to list 244 accomplishments during his terms in office. I won’t re-list them here as I have neither the time or the required high tolerance for bullshit that it would take. Some of the things I will list are: (these are NOT on the linked list)

Alienated some of our closest allies (read England, Israel, Poland and the Czech Republic for starters).

Bowed to more foreign heads of state than any other President (King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and Japan’s Emperor Akihito)

Appointed more “czars” than any other president (35-or more depending on who is counting)

Has bypassed Senate approval for  some appointments by waiting until they recess and then claiming he couldn’t wait for them to return to do the “business of the people”. Odd since he made the bulk of these appointments while holding a majority in both houses.

Improved his golf game considerably (at our expense).

Learned how to salute properly (kudos to the Marine on Marine One who kept his cool when the pResident shook his hand instead of saluting – adapt, improvise, overcome…)

Won the Nobel Peace prize for ….(what exactly? Good intentions? If so, I want one too.)

Has made his teleprompter famous.

The pResident has made it quite clear just what contempt he holds “We the People of the United States” in, by numerous actions and in numerous speeches.  He has ballooned the national debt into an astronomical amount, rammed unread legislation through congress via his minions, acted like a petulant two year old when he doesn’t get his way,  and is violating our Constitutional rights via the UN. We can’t stand another 4 years of this crap. And we are going to be paying for this current mistake for many years to come. Wake up America – we are at war and the price of defeat is our Nation.
