Call Him Daddy Obama

It is hard to ignore all of the patriarchal rhetoric spewing from the Obama administration this week.  Coming on the heels of the Rolling Stone Interview where President Obama told Democrats to “Buck up” and Joe Biden’s command to “Stop Whining,” Obama attempted to get Wisconsin students fired up and ready to go promising them to “stick with him” and “not to sit this one out.”  It was his pull to re-energize the Democratic base.  Guess this was his parenting tactic of breaking them down and building them back up.  Obama has been on a road trip full of parental guidance.

During the same speech he went into this long analogy comparing the economy to a car Republicans drove into a ditch.  And how Democrats like himself [Obama] Pelosi and Reid spent their blood sweat and tears pulling it back out of the ditch. 

“And we’ve got to tell them, you can’t have the keys back. You don’t know how to drive. You don’t know how to drive. You don’t know how to drive. You can’t have them back.”

Obama also went on to say “You guys are watching the television. They're basically saying that you're apathetic, you're disappointed, you're "oh, well, we're not sure that we're going to turn out.  Wisconsin, we can't let that happen. We cannot sit this one out. We can't let this country fall backwards because the rest of us didn't care enough to fight.”

President Obama, did you ever think the reason Americans don’t want to fight is because they don’t want to fight for anymore of your failed leadership? Americans struggle to grow their business because they have already seen premiums rise under you healthcare system that was supposed to save America.  They don’t want to start new innovative businesses if they have to report every nickel to the IRS, and they don’t want to see the unemployment rate grow anymore than you have already grown it in the past two years.  While you resort back to the feel good big talk that got you elected, Americans do not want to hear it.  What they want to hear is how you are going to get them a job and get off their back.

The American people are not a group of incompetent children who just need a little pep talk from Dad to motivate them.  And they are not going to listen to the Hope, Change, and Yes We Can anymore.  Face it; stop playing Daddy and start playing President.
