One Trick Pony

All 4-H members are familiar with the term "one trick pony" because they are aware of how difficult it is to train a pony to do even one trick. At the fairs, as they show off their livestock, to wow the spectators, they would demonstrate the skills of their ponies, usually only one trick. When asked for more they lower their heads and admit that is all they know. Increasingly we are seeing our president as a "one trick pony". His most vaunted skill is campaigning and he is very good at it. He won the presidency on his gift. Now that he is called to govern, he continues to fall back on his one trick, campaigning. The oil leak is an good example of it because he does not try to help solve the problem. Instead, he goes around talking about it and making threats. He is quick to talk about any problem the country has, blame it on others, then sit back waiting for the next crises to come by. He stated he would focus on jobs "like a laser." He talks about jobs created or saved, yet, does not take any action that would create jobs in the private sector.
