Draggingtree Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Las Vegas Review‑Journal September 14, 2014 - 12:01am Get to work, Mr. President By SHERMAN FREDERICK LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL With apologies to the movie “Forrest Gump,” presidents are like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes you get a president who exceeds expectations, and sometimes you don’t. President Barack Obama is a “don’t.” He got elected. Twice. That’s a skill. But he hasn’t successfully parlayed that skill into effective leadership. His communication skills fail to rise to the level of the average manager at Taco Bell. Recent events, sadly and clearly, underline this. In the middle of a televised build-up of brutal terrorist activity in Syria and Iraq, our president stubbornly went on his scheduled vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, where he golfed during the day and danced the night away at parties thrown by lobbyists. Meanwhile, thousands of Iraqi soldiers and Christians were tortured, raped and slain by ISIS thugs before being pushed into mass graves. Only when ISIS videotaped the beheading of an American journalist did the president emerge from vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
