Have you noticed how the press and Republicans are constantly criticizing Obama for not giving his full undivided attention to something; such as: not putting on scuba gear to shut off the oil leak, not in Afghanistan overseeing the war, not paying enough attention to job creation, not enough attention to finding terrorists, not enough attention to fixing wall street, not enough attention on veterans needs, not enough attention to the states effected by the oil spill, not enough time meeting with Congress to get legislation passed, not enough time meeting with other nations to solve the world economic problems, not enough time spent focusing on Yemen and the threat it has created, not enough time dealing with Pakistan, not enough time on solving the pirate problem off Somalia, not enough time helping the people of Haiti, not enough time on immigration, not enough time on LGBT issues, not enough time on his energy policy, not enough time fixing the mess W left behind in government departments, not enough time dealing with Iran, not enough time to finish the war in Iraq, not enough time dealing with the North Korea problem, not enough time creating peace in the middle east, and not enough time helping the country's flood victims. And then they complain that he has spent some private time with is wife and two small children in Chicago on Memorial Day.
Now I ask you, who has enough time to deal with just a few of these pressing issues and keep the family together at the same time? I sure don't.. I don't see a big red S on his chest and a cape. What do they expect of a human?
With the exception of Franklin D. Roosevelt, I do not know of a modern president that has had so many major problems to contend with as President Obama has right now.
