In honesty to you whom are reading, I do not like looking at this man, watching this man nor listening to this man but reading his 3,400 word speech on Libya may be critical to the future of our dear country. I started seeking to measure the context as being either vapid or inspirational, what I found were that the words were very flat. This opinion began where I saw the President wrapped in a background wall of flags being used as props as if the previously used Styrofoam columns were sent into storage so that a new stage manager could bring on a different backdrop turning the location into a pulpit for preaching not a place for an intimate chat among friends. This President likes to speak from pre-prepared settings remaining shy from fielding rhetorical questions or answers. Given the opportunity to question authority, I would have asked, "Mister President, in lieu of your most popular and most loyal 'No War For Oil' political electoral base how is it now that you can explain to the American People the vast lease and drill concessions within Libya given to Exxon/Mobil, Total SA, BP/Royal Dutch plus several other oil exploitation corporations from Norway, Italy, Russia among others and our role protecting those assets with American blood and treasure?"; albeit, this president does not have a parliamentary dispatch box and never responds to even the simplest of inquiries.
Hearing the word "dither" came to his attention from several political image consultant sources and fearful of being titled again "Big Ears" or "Pantywaist" this President chose Monday, March 28, 2011 at 7:30 to show the world that that he is a decisive leader that can order killing and mayhem. In deference to our Dear Leader with the rapid information age there exists every hour a tsunami of news and to compare current decision dilemma to previous chief executives would not be fair; but, nevertheless, there are standard protocols which need to be followed when carrying the responsibility for military power; for instance, the notion of "vital interests". Last night he said, "We are naturally reluctant to use force to solve the world's many challenges. But when our interests and values are at stake, we have a responsibility to act.", so it must be our realm to make the world safe for collective "interests and values". One of those values with interest is "Live and let live!" although that selfish interest may seem callous to a citizen of the world does subscribing higher powers to the United Nations and the conceptualization of R2P (Responsibility 2 Protect) makes that turn either more or less inspirational or vapid? I choose to let those reading decide.
