What a surprise!

Today's Associated Press headline on Yahoo News reads: "Obama says he deserves a grade of 'incomplete'". http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100801/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_incomplete_grade Well, what else would we expect from the man who as an Illinois State Senator voted "present" rather than Yea or Nay on almost 130 occasions. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22335739 See also http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/09/mccain-obama-2.html

And, Mr. President, it's not just the economy upon which you deserve a poor grade. You deserve an "F" in my book for ignoring the will of the American people in just about every issue that has come before you.

Stop the borrowing, stop the printing of money, cut back on the entitlements and balance the budget. Oh, and there is that little border situation: Secure the border and deport the illegal aliens. Think of how many jobs that simple task would create for our country! And, while you are at it, since you and Mr. Holder claim to have law degrees and be admitted to the bar somewhere, how about taking the "enforcement" part of the Executive branch's duties seriously and actually enforce our laws, rather than failing to enforce them for "political expediency". After all, as the official White House web site states "The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress . . . . Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by Congress." Last time I checked, we had border security and deportation laws on the books, thanks to the Congress, so start doing the job you were elected to do and start enforcing the laws as they stand. http://www.whitehouse.gov/our-government/executive-branch Additionally, as attorneys, you and Mr. Holder are also "officers of the court" and should behave as such. On both these counts, again, in my opinion, you deserve and incomplete at best, an F at worst.

It's time to strive for excellence, instead of just striving to be "better" than your predecessor whom you seem to blame for all the nation's and your woes.

And, a happy 13nth birthday to someone who will never read this blog. :-)
