Ambition Surpassing Talent and Ability

President Barack Hussein Obama II is a classic case of ambition surpassing talent and ability.  I believe most who are not straight ticket voting Democrats will consider this statement.  Although he holds many talents and is an intelligent man, with good ideas, there are many short comings the United States has learned over his first term.

I believe America, misguided or not, where so desperate to vote against the Republicans in 2008, if the Democrats nominated Vladimir Lenin, even he may have won the oval office.  I won’t go into compare and contrast of the two, but you understand the point.  The country wanted change, and Obama promised just that.

President Obama’s determined ambition to out race the heavy hitting Clinton’s is a fantastic trait for the leader of the free world, but only if talent and ability are present to capitalize and follow through when title and authority are bestowed.  He knew his goal, to be President.  Like all politicians, he said whatever he needed to win.  He did whatever it took to achieve that goal. 

The reality is all of us need to weigh our personal thoughts as to what we believe is insufficient amount of talent and ability to fulfill ambitious words and promises like Obama gave.  Did the country get the change it really wanted?  Keep in mind it is easier to quarterback a Sunday game on Monday morning from an armchair. 

Just like four years ago, on Monday review, America decided it was time for a break from the Republicans.  Now review time Monday morning is upon us again.  This time after quarterback, I mean President Obama’s Sunday.  The question remains: Is he fit to lead next Sunday?

If this was a real football game, it would be interesting to see what type of odds Las Vegas would give Obama to play first string a second time.
