President Obama Back From Soft Campaigning and Lecturing Us On Energy

UPDATE: TONIGHT'S MEETING HAS ENDED

ACCORDING TO WHITE HOUSE DOSSIER, AS OF THIS EVENING, 8:30 Central, President Obama has returned from his afternoon roam to Philadelphia to promote his soft energy agenda and New York City to smooze with Al Sharpton and company. Mr. Obama has decided to apply his kumbaya leadership style tonight to his obviously less pressing priority of facilitating passage of the 2012 federal budget before the government shuts down Friday.

Evidently he will meet with leadership from the Senate and House to referee their childish behaviors with his political prowess and constant campaign rhetoric---why can't we all just be friends?---.

I'm more and more underwhelmed with this cardboard cutout figure who is style over substance, and politics over principled leadership.

Meanwhile, look who's making headway in all the polls. A formidable GOP contender who might just trump the president next year. Couldn't happen to a better light-weight. I would vote for him any day over Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Haley Barbour, Hillary Clinton and the former governor of Arkansas. Wouldn't it be fun if he ran?!
