The agony of an activist...

 

 

"Before becoming President, he was an activist. Now that he is President, many think he still is..."

As an activist, it sure is hard to lead. It was so much better on the sidelines. You know, bomb throwing (verbally that is). Always bitching about something. Protesting, hating, protesting some more. And then all of a sudden, for reason which still mystify many, the activist had gone from the sidelines and is now guiding the ship of state.

After watching our President closely for the past six plus years, here are some observations I have made about him:

• He is very thin skinned. As much fun as it was to toss out criticisms, taking them is not fun at all.
• He has a very hard time dealing with matters which run counter to his narrative.
• He does not like being the President to ALL American people. He really does have his favorites.

Some might be tempted to ask why recently. For example, why did it take 5 days of pressure to lower the federal flags to half staff? Answer - servicemen or women killed by a Islamist bucks the narrative, and he does not like that. Why has not the President addressed the heinous practices recently brought to light about Planned Parenthood. Answer - Planned Parenthood is one of the President's favorite "pet rocks". Like most on the Left, he will NEVER criticize that organization. Why has not the President reached out to the family of Kate Steinle nor sent a representative to her funeral? Answer - Because Kate was killed by an illegal immigrant, he is just going to ignore this unfortunate event and hope it goes away.

As an activist, he will not surrender ground on his favorite projects, even if they are flops. ObamaCare is a mess, and many health experts believe it will get even messier as huge, unsustainable costs begin looking for a home. The Iran nuke deal is a joke. Not only does it put the entire reason at risk, it also invites Israel to go to war with Iran. PLUS, we have four Americans who are being illegally held captive by Iran. And even after the "handshake", they are still there.

I am afraid history will judge our first activist President harshly. Hopefully, we will have learned from this experiment. Never again should we elect someone who only wants to lead part of the country. Never again should we lead someone who is both myopic and insular. Never again should we elect someone who is imprisoned by his or her lunatic base.

Never again. We have learned our lesson, thank you.
