Awww….poor widdle Obama-wama.   I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes.  All this president-ing stuff can really bring out teh tiredz.   Especially when you suck at it.

Obama losing the stimulus message war

But the new White House sometimes runs over its own, central economic message.

For instance, Obama hosted at the White House nearly a dozen corporate executives who support his recovery package on the same day the House passed its version of the legislation on a party line vote.

As a consequence, the support for the legislation from a host of cutting edge technology CEOs was buried amid coverage of the lack of a single House Republican vote in favor of it.

Emulating Ronald Reagan isn’t working out when you’re still under on-the-job-training.  But hey, Obama still can copy good ole Dubya; he’s got the built-in ears, massive ego and appropriating tax dollars to fund the Fundigelicals going for him!

Obama planned to sign an executive order later in the day creating the White House Office on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. It would expand and refocus the faith-based office founded by former President George W. Bush.

Dobson, Meeks and McClurkin are just dancing with joy!  Praise Hey-sooz!

Obama said the organization will not favor any one religious group over another, will work with communities and will act “without blurring the line that our founders wisely drew between church and state.”

Just because the Faith-Based offices were given more office space and more $$$ DOES. NOT. IMPLY. that Church and State are converging.  Nope.

The president will also appoint Joshua DuBois, a 26-year-old Pentecostal minister who headed religious outreach for Obama’s Senate office and later his campaign, to lead the partnerships office and name 25 religious and secular leaders to a new advisory board.

Because 2o something year olds who worked on Obama’s campaign are always the voice of experience, judgement and wisdom.

Obama’s advisers want to be certain tax dollars sent to the faith-based social service groups are used for secular purposes, such as feeding the hungry or housing the homeless, and not for religious evangelism. The administration doesn’t want to be perceived as managing the groups yet does want transparency and accountability.

Transparency and accountability?  From the Obama Administration?  Like the same transparency and accountability over here?

But the Obama team also made its own mistakes. The president’s troubled cabinet nominees added to the cacophony that at times drowned out the White House economic messages in the past two weeks.  And it seems more apparent each day that the nascent Obama Administration isn’t fully prepared for the task at hand.

You mean, like, you hafta have, like, experience to do the job of president-ing?

The president’s decision to push through a massive stimulus bill, while perhaps unavoidable, is forcing the much-vaunted Chicago crowd to adapt at lightning speed to its more skillful adversaries on Capitol Hill, while at the same time taking a crash course on harnessing the full power of bully pulpit. 

Poor widdle babies.  Tsk, Tsk.  Here’s my suggestion to President Obama:

RESIGN. You made history as the first African-American president and you’re making history again by outdoing Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, hell, even Warren Harding  in the incompetence department.  Let your Secretary of State assume the charge you are so ill-prepared to execute.

Since what you’re really good at is talking empty platitudes from a podium and making lots of misguided people give you money, why don’t you start your own church?  Hey, it worked Reverend Moon!

Hmmm…moon, hey, I got it!  Here’s an idea from  Hillbuzz to inspire you:

Cuz being the most powerful man on Earth is so played out.
