Obama praises Navy "Corpseman" at National Prayer Breakfast

I generally have tolerance for anyone who has a job that keeps them in the public eye ten hours a day, giving speech after speech to different audiences, all while having an actual job to do. You can find a collection of stupid flubs by every President back to George W. if you look around. I thought Bush got called on many such mistakes that should have been ignored in context.

It probably became such a sport with him because the man could hardly open his mouth in any forum without sounding like an eighth-grade dropout trying to impress a room full of grownups.

Does he really need to be giving as many speeches as he does?

Does he need to be going to all of these town hall meetings, still, spending money ( ? millions) on travel, secret service, and local police forces to ensure security?

Is he really doing as great job ? It seems to me he initially makes some promises/plans, and then continually makes significant changes in them as he goes along, as if he and his advisors doen't really know what they are doing ? Healthcare reform is a good example of that. His appointed Secretary of Education is not a teacher (ex pro basketball player). He never taught a class, and is now going to impliment and oversee policies to improve education ?

I really question many things about this administration, not that any before were stellar either.
