The Unbelievably Incompetent White House
Townhall.com ^ | October 6, 2014 | John Ransom

I know that many of my conservative friends think that there are evil geniuses at work in the White House with a master plan to collapse the system. And I‘m not discounting that they have such a plan.

No. Not at all.

My quibble is with the part where they call them geniuses.

Sure, this White House is clever in spots. But so are raccoons.

But I wouldn’t trust raccoons to implement healthcare reform, for example. You know… unless my only other option was to allow the folks in Washington, DC implement it.

So let’s just say that after six years of close observation, I can tell you for sure that the Obama administration is made up of folks who couldn’t spell the word “cat” if you first spotted them the letter “k.”

So while one must closely track those things they are intentionally doing to harm the country, my plea would be to not lose track of the problems at which the White House is just totally unprepared and unable to tackle.

Take ISIS for example.

Obama’s brand of Islam does not include Michelle running around with a head-to-foot burqua. Sure, he may fantasize about it, in the same way that Bill Clinton fantasizes about Hillary having an aneurism. But if we know anything about liberal men it is this: They take their orders from the very angry women with whom they surround themselves.

It might be a dead mother or a live wife, but the angry women rule the left-wing roost.

So, the current popular idea from some quarters of the conservative movement that we are dropping bombs on ISIS in support of ISIS only has to be repeated out loud to see how silly it is.

Again, I’m not saying that the administration wouldn’t do something as brazenly manipulative and self-defeating as helping ISIS if they thought it would provide the margin of victory for their candidates. But if it’s planned, it’s certainly not a good plan.

Things aren’t going very well for Democrats for the 2014 election if you haven’t noticed. Obama is only saved from his most recent misstep by his next more recent, and even worse, misstep. One screw up has been followed by another more heinous mistake, so much so that government has become just an afterthought.

If Democrats hold on to the Senate it will only be because Republicans are more inept at campaigning than they are at unifying the Party against the worst president in our history.

In Colorado for example, the purple state that Democrats targeted to start the progressive revolution, both the Governor’s mansion and the Senate seat are up for grabs, despite moribund GOP Party leadership that's just a joint short of a mile high,

The GOP candidate for Governor, Bob Beauprez, is top notch. But after that, there is little leadership in Colorado as capable of campaigning as the Dems are.

Governing is a different matter entirely. High marks go to the GOP for governance.

The Democrats have run clever campaigns for sure. But you can only lie so much before the lies wear thin. When you add in the incredible incompetence or laziness of the Democrat leadership, there certainly is an instinct to wonder if these guys who campaign so well can be so incredibly dumb.

They can’t be, right? This has to be on purpose.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, it’s not on purpose.

No one says that the Ebola virus is very unlikely to make it to America, unless they have either: 1) taken steps to ensure it won’t; or 2) are plainly stupid. Nor yet call ISIS the junior varsity as the JV team kicks the crap out of the starting seniors.

Plenty of governments have collapsed under the weight of stupidity far less weighty than Obama’s.

So what difference does it makes?

A lot.

Few Americans on the electoral fence are willing to believe there’s a plan that they don’t know about to ruin the system from within.

But most of them will believe what their eyes and ears tell them every day: These guys really are that dumb.

Just when you think it cannot get any worse, it does, been that way consistently for almost six years now.

I think, from their point of view, competence is measured by the ability to maintain and accumulate political power.

The Democrats have run clever campaigns for sure. But you can only lie so much before the lies wear thin.

The problem is the public attention span. They only remember the most recent lie. The media noise tends to displace the rest. There is therefore no cumulative effect.

The obverse is true if Republicans are in power. If one mistake is made, that is all the mediots need; they'll repeat it endlessly until they get a better one.

A liberal once asked me “Why do you hate Bill Clinton so much?”

I responded “One, because he’s a pathological liar.”

The liberal said “All politicians lie.” And that’s the way they are. If it’s there man who lies, it’s okay with them.

We have had stupid people in the WH before. BUT they were THEIR OWN stupid people.

The “O” administration (including and ESPECIALLY the President, himself) are NOT their own people.

They all have been bought and paid for by OTHER people who are NOT stupid but who have a very deceitful and crafty plan for which they NEEDED stupid people to manipulate.

VOILA... “O” and his crowd of idiot, stupid people!

Why? You ask.

Because (and for various reasons) the people who bought and paid for the “O” traveling circus, could not THEMSELVES campaign for and occupy the WH.

Think: Criminals, foreign nationals, people with SO much toxic baggage they couldn't get work as street cleaners, people with the money but NOT the character to occupy the WH, people who ONLY want clandestine power, people SO demonstrably unscrupulous and unprincipled they could only ever have power, CLANDENSTINELY.... etc. This list could go on forever.

The point is, none of these people are legitimate leaders and none of them has wholesome aspirations for America.

Yet, unscrupulous and equally complicit Liberals accepted the devil's bargain and sold themselves to this agenda and recruited “O”.

How much effort was needed is anyone’s guess.. because of course we ARE talking about an expensive, PROFESSIONAL DUPE...!!

Looking at “O’s” previous career, experience, abilities, character, associations ... what else could he be called but a ‘professional dupe’?

Liberals could have done better, but they HAD to have a perfectly malleable and docile person whose sole and worst failing would only BE an outrageous and very predictable request for MORE MONEY!

Propaganda is the means that works through the medias ... leading our nation askew. Having the power of the media keeps the public instantly accepting their interpretation of events. Many Americans' are without a foundation to assess what our government is doing. TRAGIC INDEED!

God help the Brain washed people. In general Americans do not take the time and effort to research information for their selves. MOO

God help us. Let us repent as a nation.

The GOPe doesn't want to win, but the Democrats are leaving them no choice. :)

“I think, from their point of view, competence is measured by the ability to maintain and accumulate political power.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

That may be as accurate as it is possible to be about such a phenomenon. I am one of those who has said for a long time that they simply cannot be as stupid as they act in governing or they wouldn’t know whether to visit the restroom or lose their vision to be polite. It would seem that someone that stupid would be sitting huddled on the floor in a corner blowing spit bubbles, moaning and rocking back and forth. Then I look at who is vice president and he appears to have all the mental capacity of pond scum and I just lose it. I give up, maybe they have had implants put in their skulls to make them act like that. I sincerely believe that only a few decades ago anyone who wrote a novel describing exactly what is going on now would have been harshly criticized for writing something so obviously impossible.

Let’s elect a president who has absolutely zero business experience and never held down any kind of private sector job and whose only life experience was going to college and “community organizing.”

The buzz is Democrats are making a last ditch effort....resorting to using their "Heart of Gold strategy"

Dems will promise giveaways to anything that moves.

Everybody is familiar w/ the lovable, winning "heart of gold prostitute" in Hollywood movies......."Sweet Charity" and that type.

The DNC is providing Dem candidates w/ the handy pocket book: "The Prostitute's Manual To Having A Heart of Gold."

Foreword by Barack Obama.

Not exactly. FDR did corporate work as a lawyer in his early days and then went on to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and as governor of New York before becoming president. So even though he was basically a socialist, at least he came to the presidency with a resume.

Sorry, but I did several searches and none of them mentioned that he was governor, nor did he run for the office. He did run for State Senator in 1910 at the age of 28 though
