A response to Maureen Dowd's "No Ice Cream, Senator?"

An article titled "No Ice Cream, Senator?" was published July 13 of this year. Who wrote it? None other than syndicated Maureen Dowd. In hopes of stirring up some trouble I responded to it like this: (you can read the actual article by following the link at the bottom)

Although I am not yet legally able to vote, I consider myself to be very conservative. Even though I do not agree with most of Maureen Dowd’s ideas and political opinions, I think she hit the nail on the head with this one. I am glad that more and more people are seeing about Obama. He constantly wants to have his cake and eat it too.

As Maureen Dowd believes that Obama had gone “one ‘re’ too far”, I believe that Obama’s whole decision making process is filled with these “re’s”. It is what I like to call the RE-process. Say the topic at hand is partaking in an interview with Access Hollywood.

In this case, Obama decides to go and participate in the interview with his family. Then, he decides he did not like the path he took (or he realized he made a bad decision). He now rethinks his decision and says that he regrets taking part in the interview, because he does not want to exploit his children. How can people want someone with these decision making skills to be their leader?

This time, the decision that he regrets was very small in scale to the decisions he will be making as a president. What will it be next time? I shudder to think. In summation, I Matt Lauer (as quoted in Maureen Dowd’s article) puts it best when he says that Obama constantly wants “to have it both ways”. Whether this is because Barack is completely inept at making a good decision that he is able to agree with, or it is simply because Barack wants to evade the consequences of making a bad decision is anyone’s guess.

So what do I think we should do? I think we should all think long and hard about who we should vote for on November 2nd. That way, we will not regret who we put in office come January 20th.

So what do you think about what I wrote? Was I wrong in saying what I did? Go ahead, comment and respond!!!
