Incompetence Running Wild Under Obama
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 9/30/2014 | IBD Staff

Posted on 10/01/2014 4:59:59 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

In his first inaugural address, Obama promised that "those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account." Maybe he'll get around to that after his 200th round of golf.

It’s not incompetence, it is a series of deliberate acts aligned to his handler’s intent to “fundamentally transform America” into something far less and far worse than it was.

>>> Incompetence Running Wild Under Obama

But that’s ok, because Obama is sooooooo Awesome.

And don’t you know, all that incompetence never touches Obama? Always the fault lies with “OTHERS”.

Obama's a Me-First, self-indulgent ideological and political animal. His primary concern is protecting his rear for another round of golf. He knows only three questions: A) Is this good for me? B) Is this good for the Democrat Party? C) Is this good for liberalism?

==============================================

Time to stop thinking of Democrat-ism as merely a "political party"......

It's the party of slavery, servitude, segregation, secularism, and sedition. Not just the party of scalawags like Aaron Burr, Boss Tweed, Richard J. Croker, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Chicago kingpin Obama.

It's a criminal combine----and hot bed of conspiracy to undermine US ntl security----Kendall “Agent 202” Myers, the Carter-era State Department official recruited as a Cuban spy along with his wife.

The Democratic Party shows its true colors over and over again------as a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

==========================================================

Astute conservatives have known from the getgo--- Dummycrat-ism is not even a coherent party....just a collection of hyphenates, hacks, hooligans, schemers and govt looters.....aided and abetted by an expedient alliance of special interest groups who finance the schemers....all of them gorging at the public trough.

Hi IBD,

This is another less than enticing excerpt. The idea of an excerpt is to get folks to go read the remainder of the article, in my opinion. The following would be a better excerpt:

Accountability: Turns out the Secret Service — which has one job to do — let a knife-wielding intruder all the way into the East Room of the White House. Can't anyone in government do anything right these days?

Time was when the Secret Service seemed an exemplar of professionalism and dedication, an agency with a focused mission and largely immune from the bureaucratic bumbling inherent to big government. In recent years, it's seemed more like Animal House.

The intruder blew past one guard and was stopped only by an off-duty officer...(snip)...

Veterans have died waiting for the Veterans Affairs system to treat them, despite a rising budget and vows by the president to make the VA run better.

The IRS leadership was ignorant of or complicit with the agency's politically motivated targeting of conservative groups, compounding that with changing stories and ridiculous claims of crashed hard drives and lost emails.

Help us decide whether we want to go to the link or not.

Not "Incompetent" .
They want you to THINK that.
They're accomplishing everything they want to accomplish by breaking the law themselves.
They ARE EVIL !
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEFG, the MUSLIM TERRORIST IN CHIEF, is accomplishing EVERYTHING he wants to get done to the United States.
He's succeeding in DESTROYING OUR FREEDOM and OUR WEALTH.

He's a BIBLICAL CURSE !


Let us remember ...

Remember how confused the liberals were when Clint Eastwood brought that empty chair up onstage?

I wonder if they get it now.

Probably not.

Everything Obama does is VERY Deliberate. Incompetence only causes Chaos among other things.

This is what happens when you hire people based on race, ethnicity, demographics, and/or anything other than qualifications.

It goes like this:

The democrats are the party of slavery, segregation, sodomy, and sedition.

I missed Roosevelt’s and Carter’s tenures. But I bet it was the same only communist in Spirit rather than Muslim. Same difference.

I’m sure you include congressional “leaders” in the group.

The incompetence of the Secret Service is just symptomatic of a much larger problem in government as a whole where the effects of Affirmative Action are manifest and pervasive. There are far too many unqualified people in managerial positions without any managerial experience or ability.

To compensate for this incompetence, the federal government DEPENDS on legions of private contractors to do the work, otherwise nothing would ever get done. In many cases contractors are the defacto managers.

But this willful systemic inefficiency never changes. As Charles Krauthamer so aptly put it, there’s a culture in Washington where no one is accountable.

The cost to the taxpayer of having a two-tiered system like this (one layer to do the work and another that pretends to work) is absolutely enormous. The taxpayer gets screwed every day.

More important than human life and freedom itself.

This is what happens when your main hiring tool is a paint chip chart.
