Anger or Compassion

I wonder sometimes if our president even knows what compassion is. It seems to me that in every situation Obama has addressed they have been addressed with anger. Sometimes it parades as compassion, but it always has the bit of anger toward someone and usually in the process is prompting us to be angry with those people or organizations as well.

When the economy began to fall apart it wasn't so much about how do we help people as it was how to we make the people responsible pay for it. How do we go after the people that are responsible and let's make sure everyone knows who's responsible.

Our president has yet to really take responsibility or show compassion. He ever looks for what new restrictions he can place on some other group of people.

Seeking only to place blame and not to accept responsibility is not presidential.

Obama mentioned no less than three times today that he was going to make sure that BP paid for the damage but didn't say anything about what he was going to do to get the problem fixed. He talked about the resolve, but the resolve he mentioned was to get BP.

We have a president who is in front of the cameras on a nearly daily basis but refuses to answer any questions from the press. The press doesn't really push him for answers and the president continues to get away with things no other president has gotten away with. If anything the media does everything they can to help cover for him.

I still can't figure out why we have a president who seems to lack in any basic genuine compassion. He certainly reserves a lot of anger for anyone that's rich, is in large business, or believes in capitalism, but genuine compassion he seems to have none at all. Even when dealing with racial issues it is not compassion for the "black man" but anger toward the "white man" and yes it's that generalized which makes it nothing less than racism, the same kind he accuses everyone else about.
