Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?

1. Great wrap up for the week. All 3 articles are right on the money and nothing new to most bloggers here. I have maintained from day one that if Obama was white he would have never been elected with his vague background. I was also sure he would never be elected to a second term due to the incompetence in everything he involved himself in. Never underestimate the stupidity of the average voter. It had nothing to do with racism. I saw Herman Cain as a far better potential leader. Obama has never worked a day in his life and the revelation that only about 10% of his inner circle has come from a private enterprise back ground shows in every decision he has made. Black, brown, white or yellow wouldn’t deter me from voting, but sheer incompetence certainly would. He has been and still is, a disaster for the country. A politically correct disaster.

2. Thanks, Mark. Three great essays, all of a piece. Steyn’s in particular is superb.
   Hope everyone reads them all.

3. My question is this: why are people now just noticing? Obama has always been a petty, little man whose penchant for self-absorption is matched only by need to control or go on holidays at someone else’s expense. While it’s great to read these columns, it’s also like throwing stones at someone and missing. Obama must be removed from office and be made to answer for his crimes (yes, crimes).

4. Obama: old Shawnee word meaning ‘jughead’.

5. Kate posted Jeff goldstein’s rebuttal to noonan’s column earlier in the week:
   “Or, to put it another way, one of the women who helped guilt the American people into electing a transformative Marxist with a dubious background and no governing experience, a man who hang out with domestic terrorists, academic (and activist) anti-Semites, and got his religious counsel from a man steeped in hatred of Whites and Jews, as head of the free world — while simultaneously turning down her nose at figures like Sarah Palin, who has proven over the course of time to be every bit as prescient as Ms Noonan was bamboozed, hoodwinked, and gloriously conned — is now writing to tell us the President is not who he promised he’d be.”

6. I see this as a good thing. If Noonan is coming out of her brainwashed stupor perhaps more in the media are waking up too. I respect her for having the guts to admit she was wrong. Hopefully it will be a trend for other journalists.

7. “Low information leadership” – Well that alone describes Obamba and Justin Turdeu perfectly, including “Those who can’t govern” & “{self conception verses reality}”.
   Obamba may have the upper hand with Liberals covering up failures over Turdeu in that he has the benefit of Affirmative Action, whereas Turdue only relies on political cronyism and a French Canadian victimization scam.

8. The articles above demonstrate that the Obozo WH is a cargo cult government. For those who aren’t familiar with cargo cults, the S. sea islanders during WWII noticed that when the Americans can to the islands, they built airports and control towers to attract airplanes which, when they landed, disgorged all manner of goods that the S. sea islanders had never seen before. When the US military abandoned the islands at the end of WWII, the inhabitants were distraught as there were no more gift bearing airplanes coming to the islands.
   Some brilliant individuals whose IQ was probably as high as Obozo’s made the connection between the airports and manned control towers as the secret to attracting gift bearing airplanes. Thus, the natives expended great effort to construct a simulacrum of a runway as well as control towers and had individuals with simulacra of radio headphones manning those control towers as this would be sure to bring back the gift bearing US aircraft. Right now, the Obozo WH is at the point where it has constructed an elaborate simulacrum of a government which is supposed to bring unlimited riches to the LIV’s and they are finding out that the gift bearing aircraft have no intention of landing. These modern cargo cultists have noticed that previous politicians well regarded by the population make stirring speeches and thus they write similar speeches. They have also noticed that previous politicians created grandiose plans and executed them and hence grandiose plans have been made although the members of Obozo’s circle in the WH are a bit fuzzy about the execution bit but there are companies out there who, for a mere $600 million with expected kickbacks, are quite happy to promise the cargo cultists in the WH that they can create a simulacrum of an enrollment system for the planned medical care system. The same cargo cult politicians noted that the larger the number of pages in a bill, the more important it was perceived to be and hence they strove to outdo their predecessors by making a bill so massive it would be seen as very important. Knowing what was in it was a task for underlings, not the people at the top who merely ensured there were enough pages there to exceed the size of previous politicians bills.
   Obozo is a classic example of an individual who has absolutely no grasp of the fundamentals of a process but, rather in the manner of a chimpanzee, assumes that if he apes the activities of successful politicians, he will be performing the same function that they did. The fact that he is surrounded by similarly deluded individuals who might have a role imitating the actions of onlookers were they caged in a zoo, the only positive thing one can say about their neurologic development is that their mirror neuron structure is functioning correctly.
   The fact that such an absolute moron could be elected to the position of POTUS is an extreme indictment of the US educational system. At some point during the last 40 years, the system of education went from requiring the understanding of how things work as the criterion to pass on to the next level in the system to being able to regurgitate whatever deluded ideas the teacher of a course taught. One is not dealing with individuals who are proficient in a given area, one is dealing with actors who play the role of someone who is proficient without the slightest idea that they are absolutely incompetent at their role. It’s going to be a very painful lesson for the US as the countries in which understanding of a subject still is a prerequisite for advancement destroy the paper tiger of the cargo cultist governed US.
   It will be a radical adjustment for the US to make and hopefully a lesson that the US will learn. The worst case scenario is one in which US citizens don’t rise up and deal with the cargo cultists that govern them in a decisive manner.
