Eleanor Clift Losing Faith in Obama

"President Obama likes to remind voters that he inherited a mess, and that's true, but this one is of his own making. And until he comes up with a satisfactory explanation of who did what when, and why, his credibility will suffer. Forty-eight hours ago, I didn't think Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was in trouble, but if the transaction with Dodd turns out to have Geithner's fingerprints on it, his job could be in jeopardy. The deadly chain of events may have started innocently enough, with Treasury Department lawyers raising questions about the government retroactively curtailing private-sector contracts, but did Dodd, who authored the restrictive language, capitulate to some Treasury flunky, or did someone more senior lean on him?"

incompetence thy name is obama

"and what about The One’s broken promises to his own base about rendition, iraq, afghanistan, his dog? nope, not a peep from the moonbats.

"marinated in left wing politics all his adult life, there is nothing about obama’s background to qualify him to be potus and now we are seeing the results coming at a fast pace. he’s not just a socialist, he’s an incompetent socialist!

"obama isn’t a cool president. there is nothing cool about incompetence. and faux news alert: he isn’t the messiah!

"sadly these few months has shown that barack obama likes playing the president — remember the near daily press conferences in front of his silly little ‘office of the president-elect’ sign? however, now that inauguration has come and gone, and the business of governance is before him, he just really doesn’t know how to be a president."

He should auditioned for The West Wing and beat out Martin Sheen.

Obama's star begins to fade: The Times of India

"Stung by popular anger over the AIG saga, several Democratic senators have been quietly distancing themselves from the Obama team, suggesting it may have bitten off more than it can chew. There are also rumblings of discontent from a wide range of disillusioned Obama supporters complaining about everything from his lack of support for gays to his plans for a new military 'surge' in Afghanistan."

WHAT THE WORST WEEK OF HIS YOUNG ADMINISTRATION SAYS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT

"This past week with its fumbles, missteps, and evasions sparking new resentments and distrust show the pillars of Obama's politics can't withstand the weight of the real world."

Obama Continues To Set Records For Incompetence

"But the most important recent development involves President Obama’s proposal to have veterans wounded in combat pay with their own health insurance for their own medical care received at VA facilities. Anyone with even one-half of a non-functioning brain would know this proposal would never fly and it would be rejected almost universally by Congress, veterans’ groups and the public. When a president even proposes this kind of a dagger-in-the-back of battle-wounded veterans, the proposal should have a P.S. reading 'I’m incompetent as demonstrated by this asinine proposal.'

"Yet, Mr. Obama and his people were so incompetent as to propose this betrayal of our veterans. He not only proposed it, but also kept pushing it. For example, he had a meeting last Monday, with the national commander of the American Legion, who said, after the meeting, the President 'intended to move forward' with the proposal. Finally, on Wednesday, his press secretary announced, 'The president has instructed that its consideration be dropped.'

"The outrage at the proposal should have been easily predicted. For example, here are some of the comments found in published reports:

• Eleven veterans’ organizations, in a letter to the president, wrote the proposal is 'a total abrogation of our government’s moral and legal responsibility' to treat service-connected medical problems.

• An Amvets spokesman said the proposal 'flew in the face of the government’s covenant to care for all service-connected needs of our veterans.'

• A Congressman said, 'Our budget cannot be balanced on the backs of our nation’s combat-wounded heroes.'

"As far as I’m concerned, this proposal, backed personally and advocated personally by Mr. Obama, shows the incompetence of the White House from Mr. Obama on down."
