***I can’t believe the NY Daily News is turning on zero too. His incompetence must be coming through loud and clear.***

Thank God that SOME of the press has the courage to speak up.

[Don Corleone]

Its not just that they are incompetent, its the fact that they are the opposite to everything this American Republic stands for.

If we want to be Communists ......we have elected the right folks!

[IbJensen]

Competence? Don't be silly!

[Let's Roll]

When your background consists of working as community activists, i.e. ACORN, and other consuming rather than producing industries, having to actually deal with real problems will present just that ... problems.

Uhh....OBVIOUS to the most Casual Observer ? He is above his pay grade....talk is cheap, and that may be all he ever had.

[dforest]

They are grossly incompetent. They are just “doing” an agenda and are paying no mind to the dangerous outcomes of their actions.

Obama has “more than overexposed” himself. Just mouthing lofty, empty speeches is wearing thin.

Now he is going back to the hood to find some love.

Obama must be closely watched and this administration needs to be slowed down and reined in.

In other news, Michael Goodwin has been invited to the White House for a “sit-down” in which he’ll be told to begin towing the party line or else../s (maybe)

Any chance that a President that had a primary resume builder as a Community Organizer doesn’t have any Executive or Leadership skills? I am shocked!!

[originalbuckeye]

These people have wanted this agenda for years. NOW they're realizing that Socialism is not Utopian. The consequences of zero's actions will take years to undo and he's only been in office 7 weeks. I hope our nation survives all this. Pray for our country.

This is a nice way t0 start 0ff my reading 0n a Sunday. Finally, s0meb0dy in the media is starting t0 see that the Emper0r has n0 cl0thes!

[InterceptPoint]

Polls show that most people like Obama, but they increasingly don't like his policies.

We keep hearing this and I suspect that the polls are a reasonable reflection of current Obama Opinion. But it can't last. Obama is Obama's policies and sooner or later that fact will sink into the minds of the American public. In fact it seems to be happening at a record pace for a new president.

“I don’t like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government’s role.”

He’s an unmitigated, pathological liar.

A total creep.

[niteowl77]

Why are they worried? Is their "determined to be irresistibly attractive by liberal focus groups" talking head poster child doing anything they wouldn't have already programmed him to do? I doubt he has the brains or the glands to stand up to the globalist/socialist component of the Demokrat Partei on anything substantive. Surely they can't be worried about mere cracks in the cult's facade, since any remaining hostile media is currently being coerced into silence by elected officials with the assistance of Obama's tongue-bathing media.

I would think that for these people, happy days are here again, right NOW.

Ha Ha!

[partyright]

A senile idiot Jimmy Carter could outperform this incompetent idiot Zero. Jimmy doesn’t need a teleprompter.

[Brytani]

But but but...for months the media was telling me Obama had more executive experience then McCain, Palin and the entire GOP establishment combined.

60 days into this fiasco of a presidency and they figure our his “lack of executive experience is showing”?!?!?!

Can we just impeach Obama and most of the MSM and start over?

[Erik Latranyi]

One note about the economy:

After winning in November, Bush reached out and extended Obama’s team extensive access to both the economic situation as well as the war on terror.

Obama has had plenty of time to digest, formulate and assemble his team to take on the economy. The fact that Geithner is nearly alone at Treasury demonstrates complete negligence on the part of the Obama Administration.
