"Real Men"
Real men don’t care what others think.After a full year, the people have grown weary of a president who talks pretty, promises much and delivers nothing. The misery facts don’t lie: Obama Nation has brought us a 10 percent unemployment rate (1.7 million more people unemployed today than a year ago); almost $2 trillion of new outstanding public debt, and 139 bank failures.
Add to that the arrogance of a leader who thinks he’s so much more self-aware than the presidents before him that he must apologize to the world for American “selfishness” (U.S. relief to Haiti, hello?), while at the same time failing to enact policies to keep Americans safe from al-Qaida terrorists, and it is no wonder Democrats find themselves in a woozy state this morning.—Sherman Frederick, “Massachusetts election a warning to our own Harry Reid”, Las Vegas Review-Journal, January 20, 2010 (available at http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/massachusetts-election-a-warning-to-our-own-harry-reid-82143482.html); Media Matters staff, “Las Vegas Review-Journal publisher: Obama thinks ‘he must apologize to the world’ through ‘U.S. relief to Haiti’”, Media Matters for America, January 20, 2010 (available at http://mediamatters.org/blog/201001200008).
