President Barack Obama has undertaken a very ambitious agenda for his administration.  The economy, the War in Iraq, stem-cell research, health care....  The GOP wants him to proceed more slowly.  They claim that the President's plate is too full and his strategies are wrong.  Having observed Mr. Obama during the presidential campaign, I am confident that he has a well thought out plan to achieve his desired objectives.  I think the President's decision to go full speed ahead is a firewall against efforts by the GOP to act as obstructionists.  It is no surprise to me that yet again his strategies appear to be far superior to those of his opposition.

Nonetheless, the GOP is still trying to promote an outdated agenda that the American people soundly rejected with their election of President Obama.  Similar to questionable tactics used during the campaign season, the GOP is tossing things up into the air and waiting to see where they land and it they sprout roots. In other words, while the President is pushing ahead with many initiatives, the GOP is pushing ahead with mini initiatives designed to derail him. 

There have been the Rush Limbaugh silliness about wanting the President to fail, GOP Governors playing politics with stimulus bailout monies and the latest, GOP U.S. Congressman Bill Posey trying to get traction with yet another silly Republican effort to insinuate that the President is not legally qualified for his office. They are using their trademark wedge driving tactics to try and distract the public from serious business. Are Republicans really that dense? Do they think that Americans are in a "hoodwink me" state of mind?  They don't get it. Then again, maybe they do and just don't give a damn about anything but a selfish obsession to return GOP dinosaurs to power. A mid-term elections spanking may be the only stimulus that will convince them to straighten up and walk right.
