Liberals are
fretting over what they see as Barack Obama's lack of desire to be president
anymore. They may be right. It seems a plausible explanation. But also included in the laments that he gets
irritated and frustrated that his efforts to install socialistic solutions to
perceived inadequacies of capitalism have failed.
While liberal
evaluations of Obama's lack luster performance during the debate and his short
attention span and inability to make changes even as president, I believe that
there is another even more important issue that dominates his utter submission .
That issue is the
failure of his policies. He's tired of
being president because his policies of socialistic dominance don't work as he envisioned and cannot simply be imposed Huge infusions of money in the public sector
does not create jobs. Creating public sector jobs is like take that twenty-dollar bill from one pocket and putting it in the other and saying you have forty dollars. His efforts to
dictate policy and have that policy work in a democratic country have not
worked. He is president, not King George!
How sad for
him. He achieved the pinnacle of power
only to find that that is when he needed the greatest skill of a statesmanship, to
present ideas, form a consensus and get enough votes to implement them. Obama has had almost no experience in
creating a consensus. He doesn't even
think he should have to lower himself to negotiate. Then when the policies he believes inviolate
don't work, he is devastated which is why he is failing to engender his personal
enthusiasm to continue his presidency. Can he change his desire? We shall see.
