There has always been a substantial level of incompetence at federal agencies, but under the Obama administration incompetence has risen to unprecedented levels. This year the incompetence of the Secret Service, the Veterans Administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the CDC have all made national headlines. And it is hard to forget how the launch of Obamacare was such a failure that it became a global joke. We live at a time when our government officials can’t seem to do anything right. When Americans complain about the government, most of the time they focus on how corrupt and wicked our politicians have become, and that should not be downplayed whatsoever. But just replacing those politicians is not going to fix what ails our government. The quality of the workers throughout the government bureaucracy has fallen so dramatically that our federal agencies can no longer be depended upon to perform even the most basic governmental functions competently. The following are 10 examples of the extreme incompetence that now pervades the federal government…
#1 The Secret Service
Once upon a time, the Secret Service was considered to be one of the finest security organizations in the entire world. But these days, they seem to be too busy partying and chasing prostitutes around to do their jobs properly.
For instance, multiple intruders have recently been able to cross the White House lawn and walk right into the White House without being stopped by anyone. Here is just one example…
An intruder made his way across the White House lawn and through the building almost to the Obama living quarters before being stopped by a Secret Service officer who was off duty:

Sort of hard to separate incompetence from deliberate actions.
The loss of a single NASA test rocket shouldn’t put NASA on the list. The loss of NASA’s ability to get a man into space for the next ten years does put them on the list.
The Federal Government can barely fight wars.
We really should not trust them to do much else.
I bet that exploding rocket made Muslims feel much better about themselves though.
A list of only ten things. It could be 1000.
This isn’t new. From the beginning of time, if you want something screwed up, give it to the government to do. The only time a government does something right, is when they leave the people alone to do the job. You really want to know why? Because the government always wants to please every body, and in their attempt to please every body, they please no one.
This is what happens when you put people into positions as political rewards instead of putting competent people in charge.
And then in the story they quote it says "An unmanned commercial rocket...exploded just after launch..." So where is that proof of NASA's incompetence?
Why just last week, on broadcast TV---Psaki could not even find a State Dept report--that supposedly listed the "achievements of the ISIS airstrikes." Did you know Psaki regularly communicates w/ ISIS to get valuable inside information? Just the other day, Psaki said: "ISIS surprised itself w/ its ability to take so much territory in such a short time."
And we have this imbecile monitoring our ntl security.
Shots were fired at the WH---bullet holes found by WH cleaning crew---not the SS.
One recent intruder made his way across the White House lawn and through the building, subdued a female Secret Service guard---and was looking through Obama's shaving gear----before being stopped by an off-duty Secret Service officer who happened to be there.
Last Spring, "duhversity appointee," SS director, Julia Pierson (now gone) was irate at what she considered the excessive security measures her team had planned for the US-Africa Leaders Summit, which Obama hosted this summer, demanding that it dismantle extra layers of fencing and reopen closed streets, according to two agency supervisors.
Supervisors who had mapped out the security plan said they were taken aback when Pierson, who worked during high school at Walt Disney World as a costumed character and park attendant, said: “We need to be more like Disney World. We need to be more friendly, inviting.”
Compare the current administration and its incompetence with Detroit’s. Look for the common factor.
Religious Humanism’s political expression?
Funny you mention that...if there will ever be a politician with balls again in this country, all he would have to do is document any liberal city and present it for consumption to the low-info voter. How hard can it be?
Government does do a great job in taking away our rights though.
The simple reason is that the employees of government are educated in public schools.
EXACTLY ..!!! When you put politics in charge of putting people into important positions, you get incompetence.
When you put the best qualified persons in charge, you get results.
Our military bothers me the most. The best and brightest of our military have been forced to retire (because they would not agree to fire upon citizens); and now the pink slips have become rampant .. decimating our finest first line officers.
And the greatest insult to our military - a total lack of care for all the injuries they suffered in defending our country. Plus, deserting a Marine to languish in a jail.
When are people going to figure out this president, and his current regime .. HATE THE MILITARY.
I would not hire that Harf babe to staff my counter if I owned a fast food franchise.
“Sort of hard to separate incompetence from deliberate actions.”
yeah, most of this isn’t simple incompetence, but deliberate ideological destruction.
