Obama’s spectacular incompetence turns deadly
Washington Times ^ | 16 Oct 2014 | Jospeh Curl

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.

He’s done it a few times. Having been around people on some strong ones I know the look. IMO, he has it. When dosages aren’t right they get either manic or catatonic beyond their normal levels. And when the dose is specifically too high they look quite stoned.

The smirk and the glassy eyed stare reminds me of a heroin user I once worked with.
Weird.

I;m guessing varying doses of heavy psychotropics, which is why he spans the emotional range and often says bizzarre things. They can’t seem to fully stabilize him under the pressure of office.

So one day he’s up, the next he’s golfing after murders, the next he’s offline entirely. Which is why no one will admit where he has been at times of great stress/Bhenghazi.

Was he? Or was he balled up in a corner shaking in a full breakdown?

More than likely he was sleeping off a buzz and they didn’t want to disturb him.

Not outside the possible, that’s for sure.

It was such a simple solution. Simply route any people coming back from Africa, sick or no sick, onto a single airline and through quarantine in the US at a single designated location. Done.

Under the Peter Principle, Obama should have leveled out as a welfare bum. Even that would be taxing for his abilities.

Look at the global picture.None of our allies trust us. They no longer respect us at all. None of our enemies fear us.
No POTUS in history could claim this disaster. Only Obama can.
