Get to WORK, Please?

The Patriot Flag I am flying today is the First Navy Union Jack Flag. Here’s why …

Has anybody noticed this President doesn’t spend a lot of time in his office WORKING?  It seems he’s on vacation, or running to every TV station to get on the air, or going to McDonald’s with the kids … or maybe a date in NYC with his wife taking in a dinner and a show? This week, he’s off playing basketball and running on the streets of NYC while he seeks even more adoration from the world at the U.N. But not before a “jolly time” with David Letterman discussing heavy topics like his daughters’ future dating preferences.

Personally, I’d prefer he quit parading around like the “new rich kid” and go back his desk in the Oval Office and start doing some real WORK!   The campaign was over 8 months ago and he’s still acting like a rock star on the campaign trail. He has had the strategy for Afghanistan on his desk since before he went on vacation…three weeks ago!  And he is supposedly (his own words) “studying it.”

Our soldiers are  DYING each day in Afghanistan and this President  is running around NYC playing basketball and making late night jokes with Letterman?  I don’t recall this being part of the job description.  You could expect this from a Hollywood starlet, but he supposedly is the POTUS! I am sure he enjoys the new title, but  he should pend more time doing the job he was elected to do.  I would think saving the life of just one soldier would be worth canceling a run in New York City to “study the strategy” and make a decision to pull out of Afghanistan or send those brave soldiers some help. Or maybe he should cancel the “fun” with David Letterman?  I would certainly trade a soldier’s life for either of those, wouldn’t you?  Something is wrong with his priorities.

"I'm studying the Strategy"

"I'm busy, I'll study it tonight."

Busy tonight, Can't study and do this too!

I'm busy tonight, I can't study and do this too!

Maybe a little less “Running Around” and a lot more “Doing your Homework!”
