    Obama trips up too much

    I.m sorry to say that I'm more and more afraid every day. Perhaps we have elected an excellent charismatic actor who has been playing a Presidental Candidate. He's obviously done everything perfect. Now he is faced with things he has no idea how to handle. Could it be that Sarah Palin was simply not prepared, but he has no amount of preparation can push him any furthur, plus he does not have the time. I had hoped John McCain would have been there to help him from the background, but I guess the Party of the Democrat has eleminated that possibility.

    Camile keeps hitting it on the head and thensome. These mistakes and blunders.yea! trippings are all in the Democrat perview of what they hand Presidents they have lost their likeing for. What ever it is it was there the day after the election. Pelosi did not welcome him as she should have. Oh Well. WHo understands Democrats is a bit daft himself.
