No matter how many times you say it, you're not very clear, Barack Obama.
I'm having a hard time understanding why The Washington Post decided it was of the utmost importance that we detail the fact that Barack Obama says, "Let me be clear," alot. But, you know what? It provides me with the perfect opportunity to contradict the president that I voted for who blew it in the worst way possible this year.
Don't get me wrong. I like the guy. I voted for him. But what in the hope/change/progress/bullshit was going on in 2009? What actually got accomplished? You can't say health care reform, because that's still a damn mess. You can't really say creating jobs because the national rate is still double digits and the economy is still bleeding jobs. You can't say Gitmo got closed because it just didn't. You can't say troops are out of Iraq. You can't say that Afghanistan is under control. You can't say that Pakistan is under control. You can't say that Iran is under control. You can't say that North Korea is under control. So, what can you say? You can stand up and look yourself in the mirror and think of yourself as John F. Kennedy. You can stand up in front of the entire country and talk some more about good intentions and united countries and bipartisan solutions, and you can punctuate it with, "Let me be clear." But, seriously, Barack Obama, this is some boowooowoowooll-shit. You pussied out of everything that got you elected. You've got 3 more years to prove you're not a total waste, and then you're getting ousted by the first guy that comes along whether he's worthwhile or not. Thanks for the ride. Things you are not: JFK, clear at all, living up to promises, getting re-elected(Image via Motivational Posters)
