President
Obama doesn't like work

SALT LAKE CITY, July 23, 2012 — Work
has nothing to do with it, according to the president.
"I'm always struck by
people who think … it must be because I worked harder than everybody
else," he recently said of successful business owners. "Let me tell
you something: There are a whole bunch of hard working people out there."
There are indeed. Barack
Obama just isn't one of them.
The president, in fact, has
routinely shunned work required of a chief executive since he was inaugurated.
Oddly for a career legislator, the messy work of crafting policy and working
toward compromise has seemed to put off the president.
Just in the last six weeks,
President Obama has decided to skirt legislative toil by using executive
maneuvers to bypass congressional prerogative.
"When Congress won't
act, I will," the president brazenly declared last year.
And the president has kept his word. First on
immigration, Obama has unilaterally decided which parts of federal statute his
administration will enforce, dispensing with the unpleasantness of working with
legislators who might have differing views and represent constituencies with
differing interests.
Then, earlier this month,
the Obama Administration announced that it would effectively rewrite a major
component of one of the heralded pieces of bipartisan legislation in the past
30 years. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996, known as Welfare Reform, might be the
centerpiece of Bill Clinton's legislative portfolio.
It did not pass easily.
Clinton vetoed two attempts to get it through. Compromise, cajoling,
schmoozing, calling in favors and promising others, all led to the eventual
passage of the bill, championed by political foes Clinton and then-Speaker Newt
Gingrich. It is still widely supported by the public.
Getting through such
legislation is tough. Obama has proven wholly inadequate to the task, perhaps
because it interferes with golfing.
Ironically, he threatens to
take unilateral, and arguably unconstitutional, action only in the absence of
congressional action, but he has all but assured that the coequal legislative
branch won't act on major initiatives by rebuffing and insulting congressional
Republicans at every opportunity. On top of that, he refuses to engage his own
party's leader in the Senate, who is blocking the president's own initiatives.
Less than two weeks ago,
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell moved to vote on President Obama's proposal to
extend the Bush tax cuts on the lower rates while letting them expire on high
income earners.
Majority Leader Harry Reid
objected. On Monday, July 10, President Obama indicated that he would sign such
a temporary extension of only some of the rates. Sen. Reid was forced to
protect many in his caucus from the embarrassment of voting against the president's
proposal.
The same thing happened to
his much ballyhooed jobs bill, which the president promoted by commanding
congress to "Pass the bill!"
Republicans in congress
agreed to vote, but Senate democrats blocked it. If Obama's strength is in
compromise, if his time in the Senate did anything for him, wouldn't he have
been able to convince his own party to take his measures up for a vote?
But Obama's proposals are
jokes in Washington. His past two budgets submitted to Congress have received a
grand total of zero votes. The few legislative accomplishments he has are
almost completely devoid of his fingerprints, save those left during the
signing ceremonies.
It could be said that he
was a pioneer of outsourcing major legislation to his allies in Congress during
his first two years.
If he disdains the hard
work of crafting and implementing bipartisan policy, what then does he believe
the job requires?
Telling stories.
"The nature of this
office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense
of unity and purpose and optimism," he told CBS's Charlie Rose.
This is a man whose résumé
itself is the work of a storyteller. His qualifications for public service are
two bestsellers, key points of which we now know he made up.
He made a career of voting
present and moving to the next higher office just before his constituencies
figured out he wasn't really working at all.
Even the mundane task of meeting with his
Council on Jobs and Competitiveness has been too much for the president, who
has spent more time at fancy dinners and fundraising events than meeting with
advisors about how to fix the economy.
President Obama's
off-the-cuff comments that hard work doesn't build business quite like
government roads do is revealing. They
show that he is hopelessly illiterate when it comes to the free market, and
that he just doesn't like to do the work of a chief executive.
