The Great Campaigner

There is a new title I have given President Obama--The Great Campaigner. That is all he knows how to do--campaign. He knows nothing about running a government, acting presidential, or even being an executive leader. All he knows is how to run a campaign--that is all he has ever done as a politician. I have never seen a President, 3 weeks into office, out stumping and campaigning for a bill-never. This stimulus bill is going to be the easiest fight he will have while in office. He already has the votes in Congress needed to pass it--why is he out stumping for it? Maybe it's because the last poll I saw said "only 52% of the American people support it." Well, you know what? Only 52% of Americans voted for him to be President, but then the press made it sound like that was a landslide. The same people support this bill as support him. So what is he doing? Who knows? Maybe he would have better support if he went stumping in Arab nations. After all, his first interview as President was to an Arab station--not a U.S. one. He is supposed to be the savior of the world, so maybe he should take it to the world and they will support him and he will then feel all warm and fuzzy. What is going to do when the fights in Congress get tougher? Stump more or go hide or suspend the Constitution so he doesn't have to worry about "we the people" support.
