Hire a rookie to do the job - what could possibly go wrong?
Hire an arrogant, air-headed rookie with a racist chip on his shoulder and a head full of simplistic socialist ideas and the odds get worse.
Never underestimate the GOP's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, however, because they don't offer an alternative.
This is a guy who had a eight-line resume. For the matter of US Senator? He basically walked in...did about twelve months of nothing (there’s no single legislation that you can attach to his name for the first year)....then shifted into campaign mode for year two as a Senator and barely appeared once a month...strictly for big-name voting situations in the Senate.
What great feats did he do as a state senator in Illinois? Well...nothing.
What big-name accomplishments did he have as a community organizer? To this date....no US media organization can indicate anything worthy of an award during this period.
So I go back to the Chauncey-character of the movie Being There...an empty suit guy with slogans that seem to work only when you don’t ask in depth questions. The nation was talked into bringing Chauncey onto the scene, and this is the reward for those voters.
Libs see their party taking a shellacking in 99 days.
Libs never accept personal responsibility for anything.
Hence Libs are going to blame Obama for the butt-whoopin’.
Given his stated purpose of “transforming” America, Clown Prince nobama is being very effective in implementation. Everything this criminal degenerate does is intentional. Most appear to have a difficult time accepting that this affirmative-action hire is a treasonous destroyer.
My Gawd if that doesn't reek of unicorns and fairy tales today! Of course most of us knew back in 2008 that it was a liberal fantasy.
He’s not as incompetent as he is malicious.
This was predicted by someone, can’t remember who. might be Rush. Since Obama is tanking in approval, the idea is to make it all appear to be incompetence instead of stinkin’ ideology in order to preserve progressivism AKA communism.
I wish people would quit the incompetence thing. The damage to home and abroad was a planned strategy and nobody can deny that they are successful in their plans.
WaPo is attempting to divert attention from deliberate sabotage to incompetence IMO. It’s called let’s take the focus off of the Democrat’s deliberate attempt to murder the Constitution (They say it’s a living document) of the U.S.A., and make it look like it’s all an incompetent Obama’s fault...Yeah that’s the ticket.
They know the party is in trouble, and it’s time to focus the blame. Shucks we were suckered JUST LIKE YOU.
He is enacting his second term agenda quite well, thank you.
Hard to understand how a community organizer turned president could fail.
Although many don’t think he has failed. Many think he is right on target achieving what he set out to do - undermine America.
To further demonstrate the bias of the enemedia, the editor chose the word “competence” to headline a story about the jug-eared moron’s incompetence.
The Clintons are relying heavily on "white privilege" to get back into office. The Clintons' have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of the "community of color" to whom they plan to appeal.
"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office. The gold-plated, endless perks of "white privilege" include:
<><> their personal massive wealth in the $2 billion range....
<><> ownership of multiple homes in posh enclaves....
<><> the chain of high public offices they've held....
<><> privileged friends in high places....
<><> global connections....
<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....
<><> greater social status...
<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...
<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.....
<><> their memoirs made millions....
<><> Dec 2000 book deal $8 million; 2014 book deal $14 mill....
<><> three tax-exempt Clinton family foundations worth hundreds of millions....
<><> Clinton foundation "endowment" skyrockets to $200 million overnight....
<><> Hillary's $200,000 speeches.......
<><> Bill's tax-paid cushy pensions/benefits....
<><> tax-paid Clinton Library (Hollywood honey Sultan of Brunei a donor).....
<><> Chelsea's paid-for $10 million uber-condo.
2016 Hillary was relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office......as good a definition of "white privilege" as any.
The Clintons strategy is to label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal." The Clinton "normal" is couple billion dollars laying around without having a real job.
The Never-Enough Clintons had planned to run a populist campaign, critical of the Wall Street types”....that's after the world was informed that speaker Hillary was pocketing $200,000 a throw from Goldman Sachs.....and other corporate giants.
Even though they were "dead broke" (snix), the greedy, mega-wealthy Clintons have money pouring in from everywhere without lifting a finger...said to be worth couple BILLION dollars.
Never-enough Bill/Hillary look to cash in w/ another go-round in the White House. The Clintons owe bigtime......money is pouring into their three tax-exempt foundations......and these donors expect payback.
The writer has a nine year long WaPo weblog so he is a left journalist insider. He is a frequent contributor to MSNBC and has done lead in hosting for Andrea Mitchell MSNBC.
He is 38 years old and in the prime of his career.
The rats are leaving the ship.
some of us did not fall for the B/S speeches or the living cult media.
Now we have ended up in a world which is a mess, illegals now coming here in an invasion, and all this idiot who has never had a real job in his life is doing is fund raising, golfing and vacationing while giving snide remarks like a little child at school who is running for class leader
As soon as he does something that pleases the Washington Post/New York Times, it will be Comeback Kid 2 time
OK, skip my opinions about Chris Cillizza specifically and WaPo in general, and go right to the big issue: What is wrong with people, people in general (including us, BTW) who believe that "no prior executive experience" is not a disqualifier for the Presidency?
In the past, a track record of executive accomplishment was a big plus. Now, not only is it not necessary, it is somewhat of a negative.
When "Obama" came into office, the Europeans and the American intelligensia were absolutely PEEING THEIR PANTS with excitement about how well he would manage the Executive Branch.
Forget that he's a Kenyan. Forget that he's a commie. Forget that he's a muslim (or, more likely, an atheist).
THERE WAS NO REASON TO BELIEVE HE COULD MANAGE HIS WAY OUT OF A WET PAPER BAG.
Why did such a large number of otherwise clever people ever believe otherwise?
