Now that President Barack Obama has added the "Agony of Defeat" to the American experience after his humiliating performance in Copenhagen, the American people need to determine if this man has the judgment and ability to handle responsibilities more substantive than giving flowery speeches.
He may look and sound terrific on television, but is Obama the one who should be deciding the fate of 300 million Americans and all of the free world?
Can Barack Obama, having shown that he cannot handle a simple matter like the Olympics, be trusted to serve as Commander-in-chief of the world's lone super power?
Specifically, if Obama comes in fourth in a battle of wits with Madrid, Tokyo, and Rio on a pedestrian issue like the 2016 Olympics, does he have the intelligence, toughness of mind, soundness of judgment, and killer instinct needed to trade punches with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Kim Yong Il? Osama bin Laden? Vladimir Putin?
Can a man who relies on an aging, over weight television talk show host rather than on his own Secretary of State be expected to grasp the complexities and dangers of his war in Afghanistan?
Can a man who wastes a million dollars of taxpayer money on a wild goose chase in Denmark be trusted to keep the U.S. federal deficit from exploding even further, thereby driving this nation into a debtors' prison run by China?
These vital questions all lead up to the really big question: Can America survive until November of 2010 at which time this president can be broken by removing his liberal brethren and sisters from the U.S. Congress?
