Noncom poop, NO ... General poop, YES!

Whenever you put forward an idea that enrages both the left and the right, you can feel pretty certain you've come close to the truth.
A while back - I can no longer locate the post - I advanced the notion that Barack Obama is a hapless schmuck. The theory was greeted with derision from both sides. Leftists, of course, were furious because it's clear to them that even their president's failures are a product of his genius. He's just too smart for the rest of us to comprehend what it is he's doing. Rightists were upset because I had offended their certainty that Obama is evil. Clearly every disaster of his administration was the result of his careful planning. He hated America so much that he had schemed and connived to lose her wars and damage her economy, and what a brilliant job he'd done.
They were wrong. I was right. The man's a nincompoop. An economy that should be in a booming recovery has stalled. A war that was fought and won when Obama took office has to be fought all over again. The "Arab spring" has spiraled into an endless winter of discontent after the administration mishandled nearly every uprising in every nation. The most plausible explanation is neither genius nor evil, merely the incompetence of a boob.
Obama's not an idiot. He hasn't got a low IQ. He's just a fool. His ideas about the world are almost entirely wrong, and his ironclad narcissism keeps him from changing his mind. On top of that, his ideology has served him so well personally — raising him to the country's highest post on the shoulders of a deluded elite and an ignorant public — that he can never acknowledge that it is simply false.
A specific example. During his recent trip to Elkhart, Indiana, to take credit for a boom in RV sales he had nothing to do with, Obama was questioned by a steelworkers union man about the fact there are no jobs for his people. Obama filibustered — as always, the less he has to say, the more words he uses. But part of his response was this:
Part of the problems have had to do with jobs going overseas and this is one of the reasons why I've been trying to negotiate trade deals to raise wages and environmental standards in other countries so that they're not undercutting us.
Even an economic illiterate can see how ridiculous this is. Union wages and excessive environmental red tape are luxuries of a high-functioning economy. No developing country, trying to catch up, is going to sign onto them simply to level the playing field for us. The obvious answer is not to try to convince struggling economies to burden themselves with greater regulation, but to streamline our regulations to make us more innovative and productive. Instead, the Dodd-Frank law — sponsored by two of the men who helped sink the economy in the first place — is a monstrosity that essentially puts government regulators in boardrooms where they can shoot down ideas before they're even born. And, of course, ObamaCare has failed utterly and discourages business growth by trying to make a necessity of virtue.
But Obama doesn't know this. He doesn't know how things work. He doesn't know that when you pull lever A, the ball drops in slot B, because his ideology says otherwise and his ideology has worked for him even as it has failed the rest of us. Even his argument that the poor economy and the troubles in the Middle East preceded him is beside the point. His job was to make those problems better, not worse, and what a failure he has been.
It may be true, as many on the right contend, that Obama actually wanted a weaker America, a more modest America, an America straitened and humbled by its past mistakes. But he's not a cartoon villain. He thought that would make the world a better place — not a powder keg with an aimless economy. He was wrong in every respect, and he can't admit it and he can't change course.
That's the very definition of a nincompoop.
Noncom poop, NO ... General poop, YES!
The reality of modern liberalism exists within the boundaries of Lies, Deception and Fraud. As totally conjured as Obama’s past.
Well, he was the person he was waiting for.
There’s not much doubt about it.
Obama is stupid AND evil.
No need to choose between them.
Pfft...he’s not a nincompoop. He’s a deceiver, a destroyer. An enemy. Quit assigning him cutesy names and recognize the danger.
“Evil” and “idiot” are far from exclusive terms. obozo is indeed painfully stupid (witness how he acts when not being directed).
His HANDLERS are smart enough to do the devious maneuvering to accomplish the disasters he planted — he was just barely smart enough to see what they were and evil enough to put them into motion.
Sh*thead for short
He's inept, but that does not preclude his evilness.
Why should a foreigner that belongs to an organization with global conquest, enslavement, and genocide plans, want good things for US?
If he was a hapless schmuck, he'd occasionally "get it right", just by accident.
He never "gets it right".
Therefore, he's not a hapless schmuck; he's malignantly evil to the very marrow of his bones.
Obama is indeed not terribly smart. He used his white upbringing to succeed in an affirmative-action America that was just searching and praying for a black-white guy to save America’s elites from their progressive white guilt.
I have seen enough examples of Obama speaking without a teleprompter to know he isn’t that sharp.
At this point, also, he simply doesn’t care either. He’s put the leftist apparatchiks in charge at DOJ, DOE and elsewhere in government, and he is just sitting back and letting them run the “deconstructionist” program.
I think the people pulling the strings, like ValJar and Soros, are evil. Obama just says what they want him to say. And when he can’t say it with a teleprompter, he sounds like ... a nincompoop.
Ditto That!
Prince of Fools
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

Yes, he is a nincompoop, but everything about his formative years makes him evil. The worst of both worlds.
“Yes, he is a nincompoop, but everything about his formative years makes him evil. The worst of both worlds.”
Sadly evenb a nincompoop in the White Hut can do a lot of damage to not only the US, but also the whole world. Only 238 days left for this bastard!
If you said Hitler was a nincompoop, it would still be true that he was evil. They go hand in hand.
