Well, There's A Shock!

I mean, really, who could have possibly predicted that the successful candidate for the most high pressure executive position in the world, a candidate who had no executive or managerial experience, would have trouble leading once he took office?

Never saw this one coming, no sirree.

Did you ever see the movie where Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler play sets of twins? The hillbilly Bette takes over a corporate board meeting and starts spouting Alexis Carrington's dialog from "Dynasty", which is her only reference point for being an executive.

That's how Obama's performance strikes me - all talk; no experience or understanding.

If US Airways is getting a bump in sales and I can't imagine how they're not, they can thank Sullenberger.

Well, let's still give Obama time.Although I'm losing faith in him daily (he is against the America only clause of the bail-out package)
It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
We need extreme and dramatic action by our President to save this sinking economy.Throwing
money at it won't help,the crooks will just steal it.The ship is sinking fast and the engine room
is half flooded already

Obama appoints a guy to be Secretary of the Treasury(runs the IRS) who SHOULD BE subject to backup withholding.
