How Obama & His Chicago Gang Are Bringing Down His Presidency

You know it's getting bad when even those most afraid to criticize the messiah, are doing just that:

Financial Times Washington Bureau Chief Edward Luce has written a granularly informed insider account about those who hold the keys to the inner most sanctum of Obama Land -- Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod.

It's a vital article -- a brave one -- that includes "dozens of interviews with his closest allies and friends in Washington."

Most are unnamed because the consequences of retribution from this powerful foursome can be severe in an access-dependent town. John Podesta, president of the powerful, administration-tilting Center for American Progress, had the temerity and self-confidence to put his thoughts publicly on the record. But most others could not.

Mark Schmitt, executive editor of the liberal magazine the American Prospect, wrote that "Luce has written what seems to me the best and most succinct rundown of what's gone wrong in the White House, with particular attention to the role of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel."

I wish I could read the original Luce article without having inancial Times...

I see that I’ve used up my quota of one article per month at FT, and I’m not about to give them my email address. Oh, well. I’ll just have to take Curt’s word on the granular article.

Anyway, as Curt points out, it’s not primarily the Four Idiots of the Apocalypse who are at fault; it’s Idiot-in-Chief Obama. He has chosen a lot of people much like himself to serve him (NOT our country).

"If current trends continue, this once mesmerizing Camelot-ish operation will be be seen in the history books as the presidential administration that — to distort slightly and inversely paraphrase Churchill — never have so many talented people managed to achieve so little with so much."

Yes, but talented at what? Self aggrandizement, obfuscation (or just plain lying), propaganda, intimidation, self delusion. The whole magilla. Where is the talent at building up America? That's a rhetorical question, of course. Liberals don't do that.

I would like to paraphrase Churchill a bit differently: "Never has a man with so little talent been given credit for so much on the basis of absolutely nothing".
