Not long ago, after a string of especially bad days for the Obama administration, a veteran Democratic pol approached me with a pained look on his face and asked, "Do you think they know what they're doing?"

The question caught me off guard because the man is a well-known Obama supporter. As we talked, I quickly realized his asking suggested his own considerable doubts.

This nation bought a pretty package with nothing inside.

They know what they’re doing. It’s just too bad you idiots who voted and supported him didn’t know or maybe didn’t care about.what he intended to do to this country.

As our dear Veep would say, "gimme a f---ing break."

He should have told his friend not to worry. How could a 47 year old whose experience and qualifications consist of teaching Saul Alinsky to leftist street protesters,voting present in the Illinois state legislator and getting divorce records unsealed possibly not be qualified for the Job of President of the United States.

["Do you think they know what they're doing?"]

Nothing quite so sad as the face of a "true believer" who has awakened to their naivete.

Oh, there was something inside alright...

he [Obama] told business leaders, "I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role."

Jeez... Obama is even not a sane "one".

This is going to be the biggest mess yet in the endless series of Democrat screwups requiring Republican repair.

“They know what they’re doing.”

Absolutely. All very clear from O’s record, even though they’ve tried to obfuscate it, or worse. If you read his limited writings, listen to the recorded speeches, review the history if his associations, the only surprise is how many so called intelligent voters have swallowed the BS hook line and sinker. What we’re witnessing is a very clever, cunning, and deceitful propaganda campaign.

"This nation bought a pretty package with nothing inside."

Oh, there was something inside alright...

I agree. And it ain't pretty.

I just checked the Constitution. No mention of competence. I suppose that back in the day it was assumed.
