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?"

This clown has never even run a lemonade stand, much less ever had anyone report to him.
Even the corrupt Hillary would have been better for the country!

> if I had to pick betweenObama and Hillary, I would pick Obama. He is incompetent, lazy, and incapable of an independent thought. Hillary would be like Lenin on Steroids.
That brought a sad smile to my face. It’s a little bit like saying:
“If I had to pick between being hanged or being shot, I would pick being hanged. Being hanged takes longer and looks like it might be more fun. Being shot would hurt and make untidy bloodstains and holes.”
It really is the Devil’s Alternative either way.

A lemonade stand would be too taxing for the moron to grasp.

You made a good point.
There is only one person in the line of succession that is any good and that is Gates (#6).

I do believe you’re right!

Every incoming administration has a learning curve. Every one makes mistakes. Every on gets better as the go along. But no other administration has tried to take on more with less idea of how to go about it and fewer key people in place than this administration. The mistakes that they are making in haste now will take years to undo.

obozo’s pay back for slavery. Our children will be enslaved for many years to come.
bozo is just a puppet, a mouth piece just like he was for Acorn only with Acorn he had some freedom. Acorn hijacked the House and Senate while the DemoRATS ketp everyone focused on tearing down Pres.Bush and his administration.
bozo's revenge on white America.
We didn't sell the black criminals that originally came from Africa. We bought and traded for slaves and not all were treated fairly. Not enough criminals to go around so after awhile they rounded up anyone for their own personal gain.
People now in tents, bankrupting the country while the demorats and their wealthy liberal,socialist, Communist are stashing their money in foreign banks and buying foreign investments with money the rats are printing to enslave our children. We thought Hitlary’s work for education was bad, that was only a small part.
Hitlary is now ENSLAVING US TO THE PELESTENIANS AND THE TERRORIST THAT LIVE IN GAZA. CLOSING AMERICAN SCHOOLS AND GIVING THE MONEY TO EDUCATE THE PALESTINIANS. ARAFAT MADE BILLIONS ON STONE THROWING. IT DOES'T TAKE MILLIONS TO TEACH SOMEONE HOW TO THROW STONES BUT IT WILL COST THAT MUCH TO BACK ROCKETS AND BOMBS AND TEACH THE PALESTENIAN HOW
TO LAUNCH THEM.
WHY IS HITLARY EVEN ALLOWED OUT OF THE COUNTRY? WHY ISN'T SHE BEHIND BARS WHERE SHE BELONGS? HITLARY HAS THE PERFECT JOB, NO QUESTIONS ASKED SHE CAN COME AND GO WITH NUCLEAR SECRESTS THAT COULD DESTROY US, JUST LIKE CLINTON DID.

To: Nachum
Which brings us to the heart of the matter: the doubts about Obama himself. His famous eloquence is wearing thin through daily exposure and because his actions are often disconnected from his words. His lack of administrative experience is showing.His "famous eloquence" is wearing thin because he can't speak a coherent sentence without a teleprompter. He is an uninformed amateur. That is hard to hide when you spend a lot of time in the spotlight. Even liberals can see it when sober.

After thinking about this, I believe he is opportunistically USING the crisis to ram his agenda down our throats. I also believe that he is so incompetent in economics (among other things) that he does not realize what will actually and logically result.

Do you think they know what they're doing? The obvious answer to that is an emphatic "NO!"
However, I think there is a little more too it, and unfortunately it bodes even worse for our Country. It is bad enough to have an incompetent, inexperienced, naive President. It is far worse to have a "leader" that does not know nor recognize his (or her) own limitations.
There's the problem. O and crew almost certainly believe they know what they are doing. There are really two problems with that. First, most conservatives and real Americans (ie. non-socialists) find what they want to do to America disgusting and revolting. Second, they aren't even executing well, they don't know nor recognize what they are really doing to America.
We are in for a very, very bad 4 years. Best case scenario is that we can gain ground (ie. conservative, non-socialists) in the 2010 elections, then get the current socialist blot wiped completely out in the 2012 elections.

Great article. plz add me to your pinglist. After watching O’reilly’s body language segments and watching Geitner now makes me real nervous because he licks his lips after every other sentence.
The guy is a great confidence booster. /sarc
