		<description>EI,

Letâ€™s review presidential actions.
Maybe Obama should act like Jefferson, who actively maligned then president Adams while Jefferson was the sitting VP. 
Maybe he should act like Nixon, and endorse breaking the law or Reagan who violated an arms embargo and broke his promise not to deal with terrorists. 
Maybe like Clinton, who received more than most while in office or Bush who invaded a nation under false pretences.

Letâ€™s review Obama:
Vision â€“ you may not like it, but he most definitely has a vision of where he wants to take this country.
Actions â€“ heâ€™s acting on his vision.  Most people complain heâ€™s biting off too muchâ€¦.hard to argue that heâ€™s not active. 
Communications â€“ many are speculating heâ€™s too visible and potentially over-communicating.
Intelligence â€“ toppled the Clintonâ€™s in the primaries, defeated a Republican war hero in the election and can speak to the people remarkably well.  Heâ€™s not dumb.
Integrity â€“ you probably didnâ€™t vote for him, but heâ€™s working to fulfill many of his campaign promises. I, for one, am happy.
So we have a visionary, action-oriented, intelligent overcommunicator who not only keeps his campaign promises and has yet to break the law, lie to the citizens or perform immoral acts.

So yes, youâ€™re correct, Obama does not act presidential.  Good thing, too.
 
As to your kool-aid drinker commentâ€¦remarkable how you so readily dismiss anyone who disagrees with you by name-calling. Guess thatâ€™s your idea of discourse. Sad.</description>

		<description>What your saying is ridiculous, Jimmy.  Sounds like you believe that the government getting involved in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is what singlehandedly caused the financial crisis and economic recession.  The financial crisis has been caused by Wall Street exploiting areas where the federal government did not regulate (credit default swaps), by lending to people who could not afford the loans, and by steady decline of the middle class, helped in large part by Republican philosophies of tax cuts for the rich.  Outsourcing has also weakened the middle class in this country.</description>

		<description>I wonder if these guys pledge their support for the Fed lowering interest rates, billions of dollars of taxpayer money to bail out failed financial institutions, and the government meddling in the mortgage and lending industry.  

Because thats what happened during the Bush administration to get us into this mess.  Obama is just doing more of the same, except amplified by an enormous degree.</description>

		<description>No, Mike, not like Emperor George, but like a president.  You Kool-Aid drinkers seem to think the only unit of measure for a president is W.  Sad.</description>

		<description>Obama is simply doing what he knows.  He&#039;s much more comfortable campaigning than governing.</description>

		<description>Governing is not a campaign.  It is time to put away the spin machine and take some real political risk to restore the economic and social fabric.  Pandering and pretending to be shocked by the AIG bonuses to divert attention from the lack of any real plan or program is a very sad state of affairs.  We need a President who acts like a President -- not one who is stuck in campaign mode.  Children cannot eat hope.  Change does not pay the mortgage.</description>
