Barack Obama was always going to disappoint. When you promise almost everything to almost everybody—I’ll stop the fighting in Iraq but I’ll also keep going after al Qaeda there; I’ll make the economy grow more but I’ll spread the wealth around, and so on—you will inevitably let many people down. Human beings, even those who read fluently from teleprompters, simply cannot walk on water.
But few expected the wheels to come off the new administration so quickly. Just weeks into its existence, the Obama White House is in trouble. The US stock market has lost a quarter of its value since Obama’s election. While a Rasmussen poll in early March had his approval rating at 56 per cent, his net approval (the number of people who strongly approve of what he’s doing subtracted from the number who strongly disapprove) had contracted from 28 per cent the day after his inauguration to around 6 per cent for March—worse than Bush at the same time in his first term. The administration is in a fully fledged staffing crisis: having lost a record ten high-profile picks, it has scores of senior executive jobs unfilled—including every single treasury position below the department’s top job. The head of Britain’s civil service, Gus O’Donnell, has complained about the trouble he’s had finding key administration personnel ahead of the G20 conference in April. “There is nobody there,” he said. “You cannot believe how difficult it is.” Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner looks terrified before executives and television cameras alike. Five months after the election he has yet to deliver a plan for the banking system, much less restructure a single financial asset.
Even the sympathetic press is starting to speak of an “incompetence” crisis.

They don’t need wheels - they have a hovercraft.

getting elected showed competence. He was a nothing, yet got over half the country to believe otherwise.
Charm can do that, but that doesn't mean he knows how to handle the presidency.
My belief that Zero is incompetent does not mean he cannot do a considerable amount of damage. His being elected was like handing the keys to a band new Ferrari over to a 12-year old, only on a much bigger scale.
I don’t know about that. Charm is one thing, and I will give you that, but getting these folks out to knock on doors, break the law by filling out false registrations, and having the absolutely largest war chest ever is another.
I think he is using an operation chaos method to implementing his plan, so we don’t know which way to go. His methods so closely follow the communist manifesto that it is chilling indeed. That is by design, not incompetence. By the time we all wake up enough, it will all be done. Hitler wasn’t incompetent, nor any other dictator. They mean to look that way to those who would oppose them so they don’t, they look busy to those who elected them, and since most people don’t watch, the majority never notice til they wake up subjects.
I've never thought Obama eloquent or authoritative. He's always seemed like a bad actor reading from a script and that's exactly what he is.
So is Obama the incompetent Communist? Did we actually get lucky as far as not having a competent communist in the White House or is there something more to this story?
That is assuming the wheels were ever on in the first place.
(And the Red Queen -- there's a moniker for you -- does bear a certain resemblance to Mutt-Chelle, doesn't she?)
Count me among those few, I'm frankly suprised its late March and not late Feb that folks are finally coming around.
My money (among other things) is on a photo finish.
Nachum, care to post your list here?
Thanks so much for thinking of me!
It is a nice compilation, but I think I have posted most or all of the information in this piece already. I will read through it again to see if there were any items in it not previously posted to the list.
Good line.

Its given that name because legend says that the Devil never ever says NO to any of his followers and continues to make grand promises to them which he knows he'll never keep. So its always promises, promises, lies and more promises.
Kinda like the guy living in the White House now and given his current track record of falsehood and barefaced lying I'd say he's pretty much a keen disciple of the devil.
The perfect caption for this pic is:
"Gee, now that I beautifully engineered this AIG bailout and most of the money went to my silly Euro banking friends, I managed to create a popular anger against all the rich executive for the bogus bonus issue, I've got those clowns in Congress to pass an illegal retro-active back tax on anyone who makes more than 250K and now my final play is to get the powers to mirco-manage and take over any private company we want!!"
Shit man, Hugo Chavez eat your heart out!!"
Please. He can’t crash and burn soon enough.
Why is it that a Brit can capture in one sentence the entire problem with the rogue Obama regime? And America's combined masses of MSM can't seem to find their own butts with both hands and a flashlight?,/p>
