Teenager-In-Chief

Barack Obama rolled into office with the glory and pomp of a victorious Roman Emperor. From the celebration of his nomination to the inauguration itself; it has all been a really big show. Obama likes really big shows. He loves being in the spotlight. Nothing is as important to him as the pomp and circumstance, the glory, of being President of the United States.

Despite his worries about climate change; he rivals Al Gore in carbon emissions with his constant use of Air Force One. After the gigantic panic and rush through of the Stimulus Bill, it waited for his signature until he could fly cross country for the signing ceremony. Almost daily, he flies somewhere to give yet another campaign speech (you won Barack, enough already). His trips may be free for him; but we pay dearly for them with our tax dollars. The fuel used by the massive Air Force One vastly outstrips Al Gore's private jet, which is also in regular use while polluting the atmosphere. If you care about the environment enough to push Cap and Trade, Barry, just have a "fireside chat" from the White House and save the fuel and carbon emissions. Practice what you preach!

When not jet setting off to make another public appearance and speech, Obama likes to play golf. He has, to date, played more golf while president that President Bush did over his entire term. When not playing golf, he likes to play pick-up basketball. He talks and he plays. Meanwhile the rest of us, those lucky enough to have jobs, work our tails off to pay the taxes that make his glorious lifestyle possible.

He also likes music and parties. Did I mention the White House parties and musical events we have hosted (paid for) but did not get to attend? (Source)

The overgrown teenager that holds title to President of the United States has so far only proven to me that he can talk (with the help of a teleprompter), play, fly in Air Force One, and pout like a small child if everyone doesn't adore him and tell him a million times per day how wonderful he is.

The members of our dysfunctional, corrupt, self-serving Congress and Senate are not much better. They are the perfect match for the teenager-in-chief and together they are going to drive us, their parents, into the poorhouse and crazy to boot.
