I am becoming a disgruntled Obama supporter

Take a look at what's happening in New Jersey...

I can think of two remarkable opportunities blown by Obama:

1) Afghanistan- he made the tough decision to commit troops and resources to another Vietnam. I wish he would have made a tougher decision and did the opposite. He is such a great communicator. He could have made the case that we have been and can continue to be successful targeting Al Queda without continuing a long costly war. He could have said that he is committed to the nation building of our own nation. It's the economy, stupid. He could have sold it as a fiscal decision.

2) The Oil Spill- I do not fault Obama for lacking mastery of fluid mechanics, undersea construction, and improvised deep water demolition. I am aware that his hands were largely tied to plug the hole. I do however believe he failed miserably by giving the media and his foes political fodder by doing things like interviews with Marv Albert for the NBA Finals, attending baseball games, dancing to Paul McCartney, etc.

He could have done a much better job communicating/clarifying things like the Jones Act, the laws that require the offending oil company to be responsible for handling the spill, the idea that moratorium only impacted 36 out of thousands of rigs, etc.

He should have maintained residence on the gulf coast in addition to D.C.. He should have postponed unimportant items on his calendar.

Most of all- he missed the opportunity to shine by not delivering a speech that sets high goals for America and the need for alternative energy. There are numerous examples of what his speech could have been out there by many of the talking heads.

Rambling.
