It was only a matter of time.
President Obama, a short-term college professor and failed community organizer who became a mostly absentee state senator and then an all-but-invisible U.S. senator, has Petered out. Per the Peter Principle, he has risen to his level of incompetence — some would argue far beyond it.
The president — and the president alone — let Ebola into America. He could have made one phone call (even on Saturday, when playing his 200th round of golf as president) and said one sentence to protect all Americans from the usually fatal disease: “No one from West Africa gets into the country.”
Done. That single sentence would have kept Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian who had carried an Ebola sufferer back into her home after she was turned away at a hospital, out of Dallas. While he lied on an airport questionnaire about whether he had had contact with anyone suffering the disease, and while hospital workers blundered badly even though they knew he has been in Liberia, the bottom line is Duncan would not have been in America had the president banned visitors from Ebola-stricken countries. Simple.
Many African countries have instituted such bans, and most Americans think such a ban would be a good idea, according to a recent survey. But Team Obama and his band of incompetent minions argue that shutting off flights from affected countries would “harm” the economy. Absurd.

It’s been said over and over, one day political correctness will get us killed. One day seems to be closer than we thought.
His pact to finish off America took place during this conference.
OBOLA: Proving incompetence can be fatal
60% of Americans want the ban. Is there some way we can force Obama’s hand on this?
A tax strike?
We should be doing something. Any ideas?
His leanings in philosophy and politics indicate he is thrilled with killing off America. Just what did people think he meant by fundamental change?
Per the Peter Principle, he has risen to his level of incompetence -- some would argue far beyond it.Well, if he was an incompetent community organizer, yeah, his current station is far beyond his competence.
But then, the same can be said for most of Congress. Competence is not a prerequisite for getting a plurailty or majority of votes. The keys are charisma, BS-artistry, appeal to laziness, and good looks.
Obama reminds me of that old Star trek episode where Kirk, McCoy, Spock and Scotty get this old age disease after beaming down to a planet and Kirk is relieved of command because the disease makes him senile. So this federation guy takes over command of the ship and almost gets all of them killed because he has no idea what the hell he is doing. That’s Obama. Then Kirk is cured and takes over command and saves everybody and the Fed guy realizes how important it is to “have the right man in command”. So freakin’ true. This Obama never ever ever should have been near anything even resembling a position of authority never mind President, he’s a freakin’ substitute teacher who made phone calls, that’s the guys resume!!
Obama would eff up a lemonade stand.
I am a lot concerned about his ideology than his competence level. Making it about competence paves the way for more competent leftists. Or leftist who are perceived as being more competent.
How would shutting off flights from a massively poor country harm our economy?
There. I fixed it....
Now denying incompetence and going on the offensive is going to be the Chicago Way. Now he's doubling down on how fast he can kill this land of white devils.
This guy's Ceausescu moment is coming. It's way too late to do any good however.
Folks, never, ever forget that as dangerous, devious and idiotic as he is, Barak Hussien Obama could have done NONE of his ‘change’ without the opposition party sitting silently and openly and repeatedly funding him, conducting stall tactic investigations and putting on pure theater.
Don’t look for the GOP to do anything now. They are fully complicit in all of it.
We are on our own.
