Obama and the 'Competency Crisis'
Like many Americans who supported him, I long for a triple-A president to run a triple-A country.

Many voters who supported him are no longer elated by the historic novelty of his candidacy and presidency. They hoped for a president who would be effective. Remember "Yes We Can"? Now many of his sharpest critics are his former supporters. Witness Bill Broyles, a one-time admirer who recently wrote in Newsweek that "Americans aren't inspired by well-meaning weakness." The president who first inspired with great speeches on red and blue America now seems to lack the ability to communicate any sense of resolve for a program, or any realization of the urgency of what might befall us. The teleprompter he almost always uses symbolizes and compounds his emotional distance from his audience.
Статья полна передергивания.
--------
Since the president is the one who represents all of America and all Americans, the buck stops with him rather than with the Congress.

Вранье. Расходы бюджета решает Конгресс.
----------
It is the president's job to offer a coherent program for the twin threats of a static economy and an unsustainable explosion of our debts and deficits. But the only core issue on which he took a clear position in the recent debt-ceiling negotiations was that it would have to include new taxes on the wealthy—and he didn't even hold to that.
----------
Опять вранье. Обама предлагал программу снижения дефицита, на 83% состоющую из урезаний. Чайнатаун показал средний палец - им, видите ли, не понравились оставшиеся 13% , которые предлагалось добрать _закрытием лупхолов в налогах_ !
----------
When the president did speak, the best he could come up with was "We've always been and always will be a triple-A country." The market's response was a Bronx cheer, a drop of another 300 points.
----------
Из того, что маркет в понедельник упал на 300 пунктов, не следует, что он упал от речи Президента. Там еще было такое незначительное событие, как даунгрейд американских казначейских бумаг в пятницу, после закрытия рынков.
И так далее. WSJ переплюнул сам себя в передергивании.

Так кто финансирует, и платят ли они зарплату каждому демократу?
