Have you ever noticed who and what gets under Barack Obama's skin?
He doesn't get fighting mad with Islamic terrorists trying to destroy America and its way of life.
In fact, he can't even bring himself to label America's sworn enemies with that term.

As far back as the 2008 presidential campaign, he pledged to meet without preconditions with hateful, genocidal maniacs like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
His political career was kicked off in the home of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

For 20 years, he sat in pews in a church presided over by anti-American hate-monger Jeremiah Wright.
Nothing those men and women said or did prevented Barack Obama from sitting down to talk. Nothing those men and women said put Barack Obama off. Nothing those men and women did made Barack Obama mad.

But there is at least one man Barack Obama has determined not to talk with – despite the fact that he holds the key to the cleanup of the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history.
That man is BP Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward.
For more than 50 days since the accident that caused the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Obama has purposely decided not to talk to Hayward.
He explained that decision last week with these words: "Because my experience is, when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's gonna say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions."
His experience? A skeptic might ask, "What experience?"

Prior to assuming the office of the presidency, Obama had no executive experience. None whatsoever. He was a community organizer. He was a state legislator. He was a U.S. senator for less than a full term.
But let's return to Obama's explanation. He didn't want to talk to Hayward because "he's gonna say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions."
Again, I have to remind Americans that Obama was willing to talk to tin-pot dictators around the globe who offered hostile words and hostile actions. He listened to those hateful and offensive words from his preacher for all those years. And he certainly didn't seem to be interested in the actions of Bill Ayers or Bernardine Dohrn.

But meeting with the man in charge of the biggest environmental cleanup in American history was out of the question.
Go figure.
Obama is a walking contradiction.
In that same press conference about the Gulf disaster last week, he explained: "I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose a-- to kick."

Again, wouldn't that be a reason to seek out the man at the center of the storm?
Apparently not.
Obama was talking tough.
Something he hasn't done to America's worst enemies.

He hasn't shown any interest in kicking the butts of terrorists. He hasn't spoken that harshly about the Taliban or al-Qaida or Hezbollah. Maybe he thought his words sounded tough. They actually came across as impotent and unpresidential.
Obama's inexperience is showing.
He doesn't know how to manage a crisis.
Honestly, he doesn't even pretend well.

Obama has been compared unfavorably with Jimmy Carter.
Carter was a president who hid in the Rose Garden during the Iran hostage crisis. His response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to boycott the Olympics. He was indecisive and never recognized who America's enemies really were.
But he did get mad on occasion.
One of those occasions was when Sen. Ted Kennedy decided to run against him in the 1980 presidential primaries.

Carter responded, "I'll kick his a--."
That's what Obama sounded like last week.
Pathetic. Gutless. Helpless. Ineffective. Incompetent. Weak.
