AND CLEAN!

"I think Obama is going to set a new standard for incompetence the likes we have never seen."

zerO has no concept about how government runs. He was a street organizer who was/is involved with Chicago thug politics. As soon as they got him elected as a senator - he never took the time to even learn that job before he started his campaign for president....the longest campaign in history.

The clue should have been that everything about his personal life was never vetted & was well hidden - to this day.

In essence, a 'pig in a poke' was elected as our president.

If only we had a magical reset button. Oh sorry that is what liberals use in their fantasy world, we on the other hand deal with reality.

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

A lot of us saw this coming a mile away. Honestly, I thought this was a problem with Bush. His rhetoric on many things (illegal immigration, Iraq, etc) was disconnected from reality for a long time. Of course, its still very early. Bill Clinton fumbled pretty badly initially and was able to recover to. But them Clinton had actual executive experience.

"If only we had a magical reset button."

On! I know where we can get one!! Let's call Hillary.

It's also notable that four people lined up for top jobs under Geithner have withdrawn, leaving one British official to complain that there is nobody to talk to at the Treasury Department.

Speaking of the British, Obama has dissed them bigtime. We have always had a very deep and special relationship with the Brits and his atttitude toward them reflects a stunning ignorance of this history. I hope our British cousins will forgive the slights and let it blow over after Obama is gone.

Terrific article. Thanks for posting.

Freeman’s intemperate criticism of Israel and his praise of China’s massacre at Tiananmen Square,

Praise? What kind of lunatic would praise the Chicoms for
that?

First I’ve seen anything about this, thanks a lot MSM.

So he's an incompetent boob, big deal.

The IMPORTANT thing is that he throws one heck of a Wednesday Night Party. Those Conga Line Dance Parties are a must see event. The beltway in-crowd kill for tickets.

(I wish I WAS kidding, but alas, it's the truth)

And the screams from conservatives that he had no experience is mentioned WHERE? in this article? Like no one saw this coming?

No experience?

Hey! He ran a really, really, really, big, huge, ginormous campaign.

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

Lindy, you are dead on. If you look at Obama's record he has always watched the game from the bench. Never before in his life has he actually been responsible for the results. So now he does what he has always done, he watches as Pelosi and Reid "do" the liberal agenda.

Historically, America has preferred to elect state governors to the White House because they have executive experience and a record that involves tangible results. This time around we were offered two US Senators. Neither was a good choice, but America decided to bet on a flyer. The result is Obama.

And in an absolute jaw-dropper, he told business leaders, "I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role."

Ok..so what prankster put that statement on his teleprompter..LOL.

[MamaTexan]

His famous eloquence is wearing thin through daily exposure and because his actions are often disconnected from his words.

Conservatives usually define this character trait by the word - LYING.

----

Liberals are so morally twisted they think judging people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skins ALSO means giving people a PASS on their character because of the color of their skin.

I just don't get it.

[Texas Fossil]

Incompetent?

Yes, and on top of that, Central Planning (ie. Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, Communism) simply do not work!

Never have, and Never will work.

This train wreck will not correct itself until he is our of office.

Digg it

[Sgt_Schultze]

For Zero, it's never been about knowing what he was doing. It's always been about acting like he knows what he's doing and never been called on for proof by a media that fell in love with him, and sold his fantasy of experience and competence and good will.

It was always about fooling the easily fooled ... liberals, democrats, uneducated, highly-educated and the low morals crowd that makes up the preponderance of the democrat party.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Just look at his twin in MA... Decal Patrick... and the bang-up job HE is doing...

[The Great RJ]

Obama and his team never had a plan for anything and just waltzed into the White House on a platform of vague change and hope. Once in the White House they assumed with a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress they could just pass any legislation they wanted and the people with their unending adulation for Obama would just accept anything he wanted to do. Obama a political neophyte in Washington, just picked for cabinet offices whoever his partisan advisers said would be good with any serious vetting and ended up with a motley crew of Clinton retreads. Obama acts impulsively and does not think about consequences...for example quickly closing Gitmo with no plan what to do with the prisoners. Obama is in over his head, has no decent people to advise him and is using the handbook for radicals as his inspiration.

ZERO’s incompentence cannot be ignored even by some of the leftwing media. He may turn out to be the most incompetent politician to ever be President. His legendary speeches are only with a teleprompter. Someone who cannot concentrate four minutes to introduce his nominee, is not eloquent — but has an attention span problem along with a memory problem. He doesn't seem to have the ability to read from notecards — maybe he needs glasses as the teleprompter is much larger print. Whatever the reason he is incompetent, inexperienced, and not that smart IMO.

Hey drive-bys, you wanted him, you’re stuck with him.
