Acting Presidential

This morning former President George W. Bush visited the people wounded in the Ft. Hood Massacre at Darnall Medical Center on base. The current President is on his way to Camp David for the rest of the weekend.

After the President Obama’s  performance the other day in barely recognizing the severity and horror of the crime, and his odd plea not to jump to conclusions, we are coming to know more and more the content of his character, and it is of deep concern.

His detachment has become a common thread among his critics. There is an abnormal distance and a disturbing dissonance in his actions and reactions that should have us all worried.  Whether it was his inappropriate comments on the Cambridge Police/Gates case or his demonization of his opponents or his inappropriate gifts to foreign heads of state or his dismissal of allies and friends or his sudden trip to Copenhagen amidst pressing affairs at home, there is a breathtaking lack of depth and common sense.

Hillary may have been prescient with her “3:00 AM” ad during the campaign after all.

Contrast our current President with his predecessors. The phrase “acting Presidential” comes immediately to mind, and too many times now, the current occupant of the office has not.
