I am getting tired of Obama.

If I had the opportunity to talk to President Obama, I would tell him, "You know, Mr. President best thinking by best minds is what got us here."

As Bob Herbert reports in his column today in The New York Times, ">A Very Deep Hole:"More than 15 million Americans are out of work, and nearly half have been jobless for six months or longer."

And the oil from the BP oil well blowout keeps spreading onto the marshes and beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

While our President is ready to implement the best solution ... as soon as he finds it.

Maybe someone should explain to him how the Allies succeeded in coming ashore on D-Day—June 6th—at Normandy. Talk about how planning gets screwed up by reality! What saved the day was the motivation, ingenuity, and ability to improvise by the soldiers and sailors on the beaches. They didn't have to rely on someone telling them what they could or could not do. They took what they had at hand—even the rifles and bullets off their fallen comrades—as they kept moving forward under the guidance and leadership of their "local" officers on the beach with them. It was up to the generals and admirals to keep it all coming ... men, equipment, and supplies.

If Obama knew how to command he would know that there comes a time in situations like this when you have to turn your local "fighters" loose to do what they have to do ... under the guidance and leadership of the "local" leaders ... and concentrate on keeping the "fighters", equipment, and supplies coming ... as needed ... along the whole front of the battle.

It would appear that there are folks available to do this. We just need a commander to get it done.
