Not incompetent.
Not malevolent.
Snakebit!
It's more than a question of blind luck, Peggy.
"Love him or not he's what we've got, and he's what we have for the next two years.
Hopefully not, he doesn't pay much attention to the law and if a few Dems get fed up he may just be impeached.
Good point - some Presidents aren’t “lucky” they’re competent. Reagan had more snakes than Raiders of the Lost Ark - he fought them... successfully.
He is inept. Since he has never done anything, he cannot do anything well.
He is lazy - He considers himself a visionary, but is to lazy to take on the real difficult job a managing a great nation.
He is immature to nearly an adolescent level. He sees the world in the same melodramatic egocentric manner as a 16 years old. He truly believes the world revolves around him.
These sort of character defects generally result in bad luck.
58 days after 9/11, how were Bush’s poll numbers? Through the roof, no? Where’s 0bama, 58 days after his 9/11-WW2-Black Plague?
Morons make their own bad fortune,
Now that liberals are starting to question Dear Leader Noonan feels she can criticize him (just a little) and still get invited to the good parties.
Yup...cater’s fault totally...
Ignoring the revolution isnt what drove them to sieze the embassy...proping him up would have only delayed it..
Giving the shah sanctuary is what drove them to seize it...his advisors where screaming NO!..Dont do IT!
He blew them off..they took our peeps hostage...
Cause...effect.
Peggy has "issues". I barely ever read her anymore, decided to give her another chance with this article. I'll be going back to ignoring her again.
The luster of Hillary as of today.
Ohhkay, I understand now: Carter and Obama aren’t loosers,
they’re just .. unlucky. Thanks for that insight Peggy. Fail.
If you stand back and observe what has happened just in the past few days,the President’s broken promise to Arizona regarding National guard troops to help them with the border, and Hil’s news that the Fed is planning to sue Arizona for it’s illegal immigration bill just voted in, and is a near copy of Federal law; not to mention his photo op speech regarding the oil spill in the gulf, or his bully pitting through his Socialist heath
care bill against the will of the American people, one could surmise that the American people are being deliberately goaded to start some kind of aggressive action. A very sneaky method in which the Fed would invoke Martial Law in the land. Be careful! Let us keep our heads. Somehow we will take back our country in a sane and legal way through the ballot box. Unless some emergency erupts “unexpectedly” at just the right moment. Then, boys, wait until you see the whites of their eyes!
Yep.
Next up K. Parker. The kneepad queen.
No, she's not, and she apparently thinks that we all have very short memories...
Noonan is still smitten by the media lie that Obama is smart. The guy is dumber than a box of rocks. No one who is smart could make as many bad decisions as he does.
Unlucky? Give me a freakin' break, the press are lying again. still.
Carter stabbed the Shah in the back,leading to the Shah's downfall, the success of the initial Revolution and the hostage-taking.
Calling Carter "unlucky" for the hostage-taking is like calling a DUI driver "unlucky" for the others she killed.
Clearly the Belle of East Rutherford NJ is not a baseball fan. Else she would know the wisdom of Branch Rickey.”Luck, good or bad, is the residue of design. Or as Sophocles might intone,”Character is Fate.” And with credit to the Bard of Avon and Ed Murrow.”Cassius was right. ‘The fault dear Brutus lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.’”
Why did it take till the 15th post for someone to point out that the second line of Noonan's article was erroneous? Thank you for doing so.
Peggy, you get snakebit when you play with snakes.
Can you imagine what Obama had done with a REAL crisis? George W Bush and Reagan showed us how it’s supposed to be handled.
