Is There An Imposter In The White House? (Book Review)

Forbes ^ | 3/24/2012 | John Mariotti

…”Obama’s perceived preparedness for the presidency is a terrible delusion, from which it is difficult to escape. Mistakes build upon each other and result in even more complex problems. Difficult problems that are mishandled become even more difficult to fix. When you have too little experience, lack substance (other than the words of your latest speech), then leading, managing and problem solving simply don’t happen. And that is what has occurred. When you compound the problem by surrounding your self with like-minded theorists, lacking in real-world experience, things become worse yet. The theoretical solutions to problems often don’t work due to the messiness of the real world—and the reasons are almost unfathomable to these rookie executive/politicians. …”

I want to read this book. However it will only reinforce what I already know.

[esquirette]

This is what we finally get for exalting youth over everything. No adults.

“Is There An Imposter In The White House?”

YES!

Hasn't it been said that the Kenyan us just too smart for the masses to comphrehend?

It's our own fault that Dear Leader is stymied in His pursuit of The Glorious Cause.

[BigCinBigD]

Yes. I have read that Michelle is really Andre the Giant.

With each passing day, it is looking more and more that Obama, his staff, and his advisers are way in over their heads when it comes to running the federal government.

So let's give someone else a chance to be President come election day Nov. 2012.

Really, could a new President do any worse?

It is time to let this I'm-learning-on-the-job Obama go on his way come election day Nov. 2012, because, in my opinion, a new president could not do any worse.

Myself, I'm tired of President Obama's continuous excuse after excuse and playing the blame game when he faces.

Can the United States survive another 4 years of President Obama making excuse after excuse and playing the blame game when it comes to issues like the high, and still growing, gas prices? Yes it can, but it won't be pretty.

Again, let's give someone else a chance to be President. I don't think he can do any worse.

Obama is dumber than donuts, but I don’t fault the guy for wanting the best job he could find. It is the duty and responsibility of the people tasked to hire for a position to select the best person for the job. The majority of American voters have crap for brains. He’s not the first unqualified dipstick I’ve seen hired for an important job. It’s just that we have millions of people in this country who are too stupid ro realize that politics is about selecting the best person for a job and not some kind of crosstown high school football match.

It works well for the commies in Africa doesn't it? ;-)

[BobP]

Did he really think he could talk his way through four years of the American presidency?

[Essie]

I totally agree that the president and his advisers are in way over their heads. The real tragedy is that they don’t realize it. They think they are the smart ones who should make decisions for us lesser beings. And they are so arrogant that it is impossible to show them that they are causing enormous damage to the country.

Unfortunately too many ignorant Americans thinks the “messiah” walks on water and fully support the Marxist/socialist takeover of the nation.

[opentalk]

If you want the leadership job, you must step up and take full ownership of it. A “pretender” or “poser” is like an actor who has learned all the right lines, but has no idea what they mean. Once the script has been followed (or deviated from), the actor is clueless about what to do next....

This fits with his reliance on the teleprompter, and how unprofessional he seems without it. The WH insider articles...say the same. He loves campaigning and is why he is out jetting around, but he doesn't seem to like the job. He hates America

[The Great RJ]

Hillary Clinton even said that Obama was not the one you wanted answering that 2am crisis phone call to the White House. Anyone who listened to Rush or Hannity in 2008 knew that Obama was a political lightweight with a murky and somewhat sinister past. It was painfully obvious Obama had no relevant experience in business or government, knew nothing of foreign affairs and was a leftist ideologue. However,a feckless and sycophant media made him President. and now refuses to see his obvious failures.

[Walmartian]

Obama is in over his ears.

Yep. This is what happens when voters treat a presidential election as though it were a season of American Idol. We get a junior senator with no executive experience whatsoever running the country. The guy has never held a leadership position at all and it is clear that these first three years of on the job training have been a disaster.

And on this note, I'm sick of these senators and representatives thinking they've got what it takes to be president. If you haven't governed a state, you are not qualified for the job. Plain and simple. Unfortunately, the only former governor we have left is Romney. God, I hope we get a brokered convention.

[opentalk]

I remember Sarah Palin warning —he is not like us, McCain would not let her talk about his past. From what we are allowed to know, seems the first time he was on mainland US, were his college years.

I wonder if they give any credit to General Sullivan and Colonel Harper, who authored “Hope is Not a Method” in 1997.
