The Amateur’s Nominee

Brett McGurk is another example of just what an amateur Barack Obama is. Today comes news that the Commerce Secretary committed two hit and run crashes after suffering “seizures.” There is no word on what caused the seizures and Johnny Walker was unavailable for comment. (Initial reports were that drugs and alcohol were not involved)

Now, there is Brett McGurk. You should read this if you don’t know who he is. But the gist is this.

[UPDATED} Brett McGurk is Barack Obama’s nominee to be Ambassador to Iraq. His experience includes having an affair with a Wall Street Journal reporter and, around the same time, is rumored to be connected to reports of Marine security in Iraq observing someone getting a blow job on the roof of a building in Baghdad. Since this morning’s publication, we have discovered this rumor appears to have originated with Peter Van Buren, a foreign service officer who served in Iraq, though he did not name McGurk specifically in the rumor. Van Buren is now in a legal battle with the State Department over publication of his memoir. After searching, we are unable to find the video Van Buren referenced and therefore cannot corroborate the veracity of the story.

Obama wanted political hacks as he is the king of hacks and liars, and it was his right to have them. A decent person could do a fine job though he does not share party affiliation, but we are finding out that decent people are an inconvenience to democrats.

Ummm, we've always known the MSM was in bed with dems... but not THIS 'in bed'...

One of the failings of the liberal perception of leadership or expertise is that they have almost no respect for merit or talent. They tend to think that anyone can do any job.

The liberal voters proved it with Barack Obama who had not a single accomplishment on his resume besides being elected to stuff that didn't require hard work.

At the local and state level appointments an hires are more often based on political loyalty than talent and experience when democrats are in control.
