More than a bad day: Worries Grow that Obama & Co. have a Competence Problem

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.

Yes, it's early, but an eerily familiar feeling is spreading across party lines and seeping into the national conversation. It's a nagging doubt about the competency of the White House.

It was during George W. Bush's second term that the I-word - incompetence - became a routine broadside against him. The Democratic frenzy of Bush-bashing had not spent itself when a larger critique emerged, one not confined by partisan boundaries.

Yeah. We can cross THAT off our list. Shew! (wiping forehead)

It was disgusting that the author had to bash Bush before he could say anything negative about Obama. I am sorry, but that sort of trite rhetoric is soooooo old. These Obama supporters think that they are soooo cooooool, but we have known for a long time here that Obama was the ultimate phony. Bush was no phony. It is good to be right.

Obama is going to make Jimmy Carter look brilliant.

How can they have a competence problem? They are absolutely brilliant and there is a possiblity that
Mr. Obama is the messiah!

I don’t remember the name of the character Steve Martin played in “The Jerk”, but Obama is playing out that role as president.

I think he resembles Chauncey Gardiner, the Peter Sellers character in Being There.

[Ted Grant]

Chance the Gardner was at least a good natured person.

He is a moron guided by commies.

As I have said before; obummer and his merry band of low grade morons will f*ck up a one car funeral.
