Obama has no ability to appear Presidential, because he is not.

Obama has no ability to appear Presidential, because he is not.

At today’s nationally televised White House event announcing the resignation of his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, Obama (notice I did not write President Obama) told a very crass joke. To make matters worse Emanuel’s young children were in the front row of the audience.

Does anyone think it is appropriate for anyone to joke, much less the President of the United States, that an accident causing the loss of Emanuel’s middle finger rendered him mute, in front of his children? In front of a nationally televised audience that might certainly include other children? How exactly will Obama explain that to Malia Anne and Natasha?

The very off color joke offended me (and I am no prude). It offended me because of how I think it might offend others: Christians, Muslims, Jewish, world leaders, emerging nations.

Obama seems to have no concept of the prestige the office of the President of the Unites States has meant to our country. He bows to foreign leaders, has no regard for the will of the people, distances us from our allies, associated with radicals, is on television almost every day, borrows money from our children that is not his, AND NOW reverts to telling crude jokes to the children of his departing Chief of Staff. Appalling!

If we are dumb enough not to put Republicans in the majority of both the House and the Senate next month then Obama is certain to degrade the esteemed office of the President again and again.

If the citizens of this great country are stupid enough to elect him again in 2012 then God has truly deserted us.
