In response to my “Excuses, excuses” entry (https://blog.chuvala.com/?p=146), a FB friend longed for a plan from either party that sounded workable, and ended by saying “I wish we could just disband the blues and the reds.”
My response:
I get that; I’ll bet a LOT of us get that. But for me it’s utterly insufficient as a reason/excuse to tolerate OJT, or incompetence, or distaste for American leadership in the world, in the Office of the President. He’s had his shot, he’s performed poorly, and it’s time for him to move on. He got to be the first black President, and he and the country will always have that. And that needs to be enough. It was a bad reason to elect him in the first place; his resume was razor-thin, and we got what we hired, an inexperienced and ineffectve leader. He talked a good game (or so many thought — personally I could never get past his economic policy, which looked bad on its face long before he was elected), but he never really had the game at all. He needs an involuntary opportunity to serve in another capacity. I’ve said before that Romney was not my first — or second, or third — choice for Republican nominee. But there’s a reason late 20th and early 21st century America has had a penchant for electing former governors (Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Bush); at least you know that they have experience… governing! We didn’t get that with Obama, and he proves regularly that he’s not a fast learner in this regard. Vote better this time! Vote Romney/Ryan!
No excuse for voters, though!
