Heck of a job: Obama excuses flubs in his administration

The list of scandals and blunders in the Obama administration is long, but the roster of people who have been fired by President Obama for screwing up is strikingly short.

From Benghazi to the Internal Revenue Service to the Fast and Furious gun-running furor in the Justice Department, the president has been loathe to hold high-level aides accountable for major bungling.

If ever there were a government job to carry out with care, it’s the rollout of a program named informally for the president himself. Yet Mr. Obama has resisted calls to hold Mrs. Sebelius — or anyone else — accountable for the failure.

He hires for loyalty and ideology, not qualifications or performance. Like Klintoon did.

I think everything about the Obama Administration makes perfect sense if you replace terms like Appointee, New Hire, Consultant ext, and replace them with the single descriptive term , “Co Conspirator” and analyze the various scandals and bizarre behavior, actions and outcomes in that context

The media has set the bar so low for this president, if a dozen kids get flu shots the whole program will be deemed an unqualified success. Count on it.
