Amid job approval slide, Obama gives public address Polls both show a majority of people disapprove of the president’s handling of the country

WASHINGTON, DC—Tonight, President Obama will speak directly to the nation he has been ignoring since orchestrating a massive and disproportionately unpopular health care reform bill. After fifty-plus days of dithering, giving lip service, and a few token appearances to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Obama will tell the American people he’s not letting this crisis go to waste—and comprehensive energy reform or cap-and-trade will be levied on the United States whether its citizenry wants it or not.

After all, he’s done all he can, he will no doubt explain. He stood outside, in the rain talking to folks as Mark Steyn pointed out so now he’ll do what all visionary, take-charge leaders do and propose legislation that raises taxes, stifles competition, and weakens the US’s growth so China and India can march right by.

Plug the damn hole you say? Why you simple-minded miscreant—how will that help the Commander-in-Legislator to move this country further toward a European style socialist democracy? Mr. Obama simply doesn’t have time for action like capping the well and stopping the flow of oil into the gulf; no, he’s forging past his sliding approval ratings and has already dispatched Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate and legally scapegoat BP, Deepwater Horizon, and probably members of the Bush administration. Sure, the spill is BP’s fault, but Obama isn’t interested in taking charge so much as he is in blaming them for making him look incompetent.

So tonight we’ll be transported back to the Carter Administration vis-à-vis Obama’s way-back blame game machine; where words are enough to free hostages or bring OPEC to its knees—after all, didn’t it work then?
