Who Said It? (Plus: Bonus Chronology of Broken Obama Promises)
Who said the following?
1. The president can’t just wave a magic wand to say that Gitmo will be closed.
2. It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.
Answers below the fold.
2. Ellie Light.
Thanks to an anonymous reader and to Dana, who forwards this link to an L.A. Times Top of the Ticket chronology of Obama’s broken promises on Gitmo.
The author: Andrew Malcolm, who is being very disrespectful to President Obama again. In between applications of lotion to George Soros, Eric Boehlert could be heard wailing about how the newspaper can allow such disrespect.
Didn’t Obama himself say he can’t wave a magic wand and fix things (in addition to saying he wasn’t Superman)?

AD - RtR/OS! (712fff) — 7/3/2010 @ 3:40 pmBut he can make the earth start to heal itself and the oceans recede, if we ignore oil spills, which he screws up royally.
daleyrocks (1d0d98) — 7/3/2010 @ 3:41 pmThe problem that Obama has is that
he does not know how the federal
govt actually works. Like Nagan,
who was unaware of an evac plan for
New Orleans,Obama didn’t ask anyone if there was
a plan for oil spills. My guess
is that Obama didn’t know about
the Jones Act, nor did
he know that …..oh why do I
bother?
Everyone in the world knows the
MSM is covering for him, especially
world leaders.
Even Bill Clinton knows what a

get me some coffee.
Wait a few more months Jack, and you’ll be drinking that Irish straight.

Fer sure! And, you can get nasty calluses on your hands from playing all that golf.

Or you may opt to take it in another place – anything to rid yourself of the stench.
Dmac (93e7cb) — 7/3/2010 @ 7:08 pmThe thing is, I always knew that governing was hard work. It was Obama who didn’t know and acts like these are all revelations. And I also knew he was not up to the job.
