Obama Trying To Be Dwight D. Eisenhower

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama has stated he is attempting to spend America out of a financial recession depression, in the manner he says former President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, did during his term.

However, once again, Obama is not taking into consideration, the America of today, is a different one from Eisenhower's days in office. Like I was actually there. I wasn't born yet, but I can read history books, you know.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

In all seriousness, Eisenhower did not have to battle two costly wars in the Middle East, an unprecedented number of foreclosures, a massive number of bank closures, widespread business failures, record high deficit and an empire in serious decline.

Yes, he spent large sums of taxpayer money on urban renewal and developing the highway system, as a means to create employment, but it should also be noted, there was a recession during his term, not long after the spending commenced. Eisenhower did many things for America, but that was a different time and Obama is dangerously living in the past, when his mind should be anticipating the future.

The Obama White House Exodus Continues

Barack Obama

This is a follow up to the October 8, 2010 article "Obama Presidency In Turmoil." The Guardian did an article on October 10, 2010, entitled "White House staff exodus exposes Obama to charges of disarray" commenting on the most recent, high profile White House departures in Washington, D.C., also noting that many more are to come. The Obama Administration has imploded in under two years, which is regrettable.

President Obama's economic and political policies have failed, hence the stream of departures from his administration, as people attempt to leave before the brown stuff hits the fan, as the phrase goes. Where did that phrase come from, anyway. Why would their be poo on a fan. How unhygienic.

But I digress. Obama is running out of choices, as the election looms. He has not paid enough attention to public opinion, via the voices of the American people, opting to only listen to counsel from his closest advisors, who have been wrong on a number of things.

Trying to be the new President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 2008 was a bad idea. Somewhere, somehow, President Obama got it into his head that the way to prosperity, was to embark on a massive spending spree, using taxpayer money, as Eisenhower did after the war. However, this is a different America and new rules apply.
