Obama’s distance

Here’s one reason why I think Obama is going to make the worst president ever: He has no empathy. He is a politician, yet how many times did he say “you” instead of “us” when speaking about the problems Americans are facing? Go back and listen to how many times he talked about how “you” are working two jobs, and “you” are struggling to pay your bills.

He is the worst kind of elitist: An unconscious one. He doesn’t even know he’s doing it.

It comes off as very cold and distant.

Obama, you’re no Bill Clinton.

    Obama lacks empathy?!?

    After we break fast, please, please, please save me some of the brownies you’ve been eating!

    (partisan politics aside, have a peaceful fast tomorrow. Although I think you’re getting increasingly nuts, what with the guns and the right-wing sentiments, I do admire your sharp eye and insight when it comes to Israel and media coverage of mid-East events.)

    Nuts? Because I’m changing my political opinions and exercising my Second Amendment rights?

    I believe that’s called, “changing your mind.”
