You all saw it. The scintillating press conference given by President Elect Obama contained powerful insight about the direction our country is about to take. Now I understand, he must answer the inane questions posed with a straight face and an air of authority, but this last announcement has made me cower in fear.
Sure he has a huge list of national challenges like dealing with the continuing credit crisis, managing the outlandishly irresponsible press publishing the nuts and bolts of covert operations, tempering the Israeli/Hamas conflict, the list is large. As we turn over the keys to our landmark electee one can't but question his ability to lead as he announced he was searching for a Portugese Water Dog or a Labradoodle in the local shelters.
Obama has carefully crafted his image as a man of the streets having pounded the common pavement as a community organizer but this recent revelation should make us all shudder because it illuminates the cunnundrum so clearly. Obama so far doesn't have a clue.
In all fairness, neither do I, but what has bothered me about this candidate from the very beginning is his disconnect with reality. Unfortunately sitting down and 'talking things out' will not end the War on Terror. Raising taxes will not stimulate the economy. Increasing the Deficit will not provide for our future. Universal Healthcare will not increase the standard of care and fix our medical system. And you will never find a Portugese Water Dog, or a Labradoodle at your local shelter, no matter how hard you look.
