By all accounts, the most pressing problems confronting this country today and for the foreseeable future, are economic and domestic. So why is BO on a two vacation to Europe? I suppose that his political handlers have decided that in order to advance his unprecedented expansion of the federal government, BO needs to maintain his popularity. And as we were relentlessly reminded, BO popularity and “approval” ratings peaked in the period just prior to his taking office in January. Once BO started to actually be the CEO and to have legal responsibility for his decisions (or failure to make same), his popularity at home inevitably began to erode. Thus the only place to recreate the fawning crowds of the young and the ignorant, he sprinted off to Europe. Why these Euro-trash crowds will pack themselves into spaces to witness the BO phenomenon is beyond me. I suppose if they have a choice between working on the one hand, and heading off to a drunken rally on the other, there is no much choice.
But the questions must be asked: With trillions upon trillions of dollars being printed and flushed into government programs, shouldn’t the CEO be expected to be minding the store? If Jeff Immelt, or Ken Lewis, or some other beneficiary of government largesse spent two week in Europe polishing his image at a HUGE taxpayer expense, what would be the reaction of BO and Barney Frank?
Once again, BO is demonstrating his complete dearth of executive experience.
