Obama Focused on the Future, but NOT in a Good Way

I was a bit shocked to hear President Obama make reference to re-election on his third day in office and after a week in office Obama made mention of his "Legacy". That's awfully forward looking considering that his administration hasn't accomplished anything yet.

The new President made many promises to the American people during his campaign and I hope he forgets about most of them. He has already reinstated a policy that uses our tax dollars to abort children in foreign lands. I have my doubts that this is the time to look for more ways to spend money on foreign aid. Perhaps this is a matter of national security and President Obama plans to abort all future terrorists.

Another "top priority" for President Obama was to close Guantanamo Bay. There was a bit of a slip up during the signing of the executive order on Guantanamo not unlike the glitch in the swearing in of President Obama. Apparently Mr. Obama was unaware that, at present, no one knows what will be done with the occupants of said detention facility. After signing the executive order closing Guantanamo within one year he asked if there was a second order standing by to describe how that would be accomplished. President Obama was advised that "we are creating a process". Personally, I would have looked into that "process" before I signed an executive order. It seems wrong to me to promise you will do something in a set period of time when you don't have a clue as to how you will successfully complete the task.

Anyway Mr President, it is just plain tacky for you to be planing your re-election and visualizing your "legacy" before you have even made an effort to do your job.
