Daily PUMA Column - Commentary by Alessandro Machi

Sunday, January 30, 2011

PUMAs have been distrustful over Barack Obama's handling of the Tucson shooting and the 2011 state of the union address, and for good reason.

Several PUMA bloggers were upset with the overly upbeat tone of the memorial service for the slain victims of the Tucson shooting. Barack Obama then followed that service up a few days later with a rather PTA'ish type of 2011 state of the union address. The ink is barely dry on the 2011 state of the union fiasco and now we have Egypt erupting in protest.

Besides the suffering of the Egyptian protestors that many of us cannot even imagine, we may personally feel the pinch as the Suez Canal may be affected, and possibly the price of heating oil and such rises almost overnight.

Did we really need to sit through the 2011 insufferable state of the union address given by Barack Obama? I only listened to 15, 20 minutes and then I gave up.

If you were to go back and listen to Barack Obama's 2011 state of the union address from less than a week ago, you would cringe at the childishness of it in a world beset with real problems. I wrote such a piece just before the Egypt rioting started and you can read it here.

As Hillary Clinton stated in 2008, "John McCain has experience, I have experience, Barack Obama has a speech he gave at the 2004 democratic convention".

Apparently, the news is reporting that because Barack Obama is president of the United States, we are not being included as the Great Satan this time around, plus, Egypt is more of an ally than Iran was in 1979.

One thing I wonder is, no matter what we do, won't the religious fundamentalists simply choose to support the opposite?

Allessandro,
Just look at how lame we were during the iranian people's desperate fight for freedom. Do you expect obama, to be a world leader now?

We have a community organizer who is in way over his head and as long as her presides over our nation - everything is going to be about him and only him.
Get used to it!

I only hope the selfish, morons who elected him and the strong arms who cheated him in will fail to force us to endure 4 additional years under this regime.
And I thought anything was better than Baby Bush - or better stated perhaps-- I thought nothing could be worse. How how very very wrong I was!

In these times - the world needs the US to have a leader - a real leader and what we have is this imposter parading around the world looking the fool.
The speeches forced on Hillary are forced- we know this because Hillary doesn't read her own speeches - she speaks from her heart. If she is reading like a robot - they are not her words . Bless her heart she is doing the best she can under this clown and his Czar team of FOOLS!
