More than a bad day: Worries Grow that Obama & Co. have a Competence Problem
New York Daily News ^ | 3/16/09 | Michael Goodwin

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 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.

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.
