Is he well connected to politicians who got him his position because he kissed the right a$$?
This is the usual result of putting incompetant boobs in positions of power
Like Obama, who is about to sink the US too.

When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely talking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat

I was thinking about the sorrowful tales of people who sacrificed themselves for others.
This dope runs the ship over some rocks, rips a hole in the bottom, and leaves everyone to fend for themselves.
He is outta here ASAP!
In the famous words of Meghan McCain “he should just slit his wrists” LOL

Good thing he doesn’t work for a Chinese Cruise Line, he would have been shot already.

This incident is such a metaphor for what is going on with this country right now. We have installed, as our president, a man who has absolutely no qualifications for the job, a man who has never held a real job in his life and is utterly unsuited and unprepared for the job he now holds. As a result, he is running our nation into the reef.
I can picture Obama getting into his limo on January 20, 2013 and telling the driver to "get me as far away from here as possible." Yes, that is something I can see Obama doing.

Ayn Rand would not have supported him sinking with the ship. Altruism was certainly not her thing. “The Virtue of Selfishness” explained that rather clearly.

Looks like we have Obama’s new Transportation Secretary. Maybe even a possible new head for the NTSB.

Good. Too bad the helmsman didn't choose to stay a little more off shore or slow way down.
(Was a local pilot on board? Should there have been one?)
