In regards to Obama's worth ethic, where are you getting your information? The articles written back in 2009 and 2010? Because if that's the case, you're leaving out a lot of pertinent information.
Correct, this one was from 2009:
"He shows up at the Oval Office shortly before 9 in the morning. . ."
". . . aides have seen him in the Oval Office as late as 10 p.m. . ."
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/us/po ... house.htmlSure, it's not pertinent in the sense that it doesn't give us an idea of how his presidency has evolved. That said, it is indicative of his attitude of how eager he was to dive into his job full throttle at the beginning of a very important presidency and period in US history. Getting into work at 9-10 AM is something your average pleb worker does.
And Tranthas: I don't think it's really THAT much of a secret. It wasn't for Bush, either, nor was it a huge one was Clinton. Absolute knowledge of every single moment in terms of HOUR to HOUR movements throughout the day? Probably not. But average time getting INTO the office? It's not hard for a layperson to make a few inferences, watch the SUVs, note the security movements, then corroborate information(even if you DON'T see him, which it sounds like some did). Nor is it really a HUGE security hazard.
Also, would the first lady qualify as someone who wouldn't be trusted with the daily routine of a world leader? =p :
". . .Michelle Obama told a group of high school students on Thursday that getting out of bed isn't always easy for her husband."
"I got to push him out of bed."
http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1 ... to_do.htmlSure, probably made with a little jest in tone, but when we add up the above information, not only with each individual fact but also with the fact that Obama's implementation of policy has been so poor, a bigger picture starts to develop.
When asked what his accomplishments were prior to his presidency, we also have a hard time nailing it down. The man walks at the speed of a snail with the energy of one to boot. Hell, he's FROM Hawaii, home to some of the laziest people I've ever seen. Why would his work ethic being called into question be a surprising thought to occur to someone?
I just don't think the lack of getting things done is as simple as "LAWL CONGRESS BLOCKED HIM!".
