With Friends Like These...

The best way judge a person is by the company he keeps. But President Obama is having trouble keeping any company at all. Recently his Cabinet nominees have been dropping like flies - Sanjay Gupta's withdrawal from the surgeon general slot on Thursday brought the number of botched high-level candidates to seven. "He's having a lot of trouble getting nominations pushed through," says Paul Light, professor of Public Service at NYU's Wagner School. "He's falling behind Bush and Clinton in his number of confirmed candidates in the first 100 days. He can't afford another one." Here, a rogue's gallery at some of the fallen friends.

Have not read the article but the title made me think about his friends which were dismayed by the mainstream media: Rezco, REV> Wright, Bill Ayers to list a few. I would much rather read about these people than Sanjay Gupta opting out of a whitehouse gig.

The d0lt’s still lacking two to complete his cabinet.

Not only is the President short two Cabinet members, he's short innumerable deputy Cabinet members and other appointees as well. This means that even if Obama directs a policy be done, fewer people are available to carry it out. This is good if the policies are bad (and I have seen very few good Obama policies except continuing Bush policies).

The President is clueless.

“The best way judge a person is by the company he keeps.”

I read that you judge a tree by its fruit.

Obama is having trouble keeping any company at all,who in their right mind would want to hang around with a target?

After all the lifeboats were gone and the ship was about to slip into the deep how many passengers would have been willing to get away safely? That's where Obama is now.
