    Default An odor of incompetence pervading and spreading through every Obama admin project

    Has this administration done ANYTHING well yet?

    "Fast & Furious" was supposed to let criminals try to buy guns illegally, keep a close eye on them, and bust them along with their colleagues. But something went wrong, the criminals walked out the door and across the border will all the guns they could ever want, and the Obama administration lost track of the guns, until some of them were used to kill hundreds of Mexican civilians and at least one U.S. Border Patrol agent.

    The govt was supposed to keep our embassies and consulates safe, but the Obama admin started stripping away American security forces - even as more and more terrorist attacks came against them - until a devastating attack against our consulate in Banghazi killed four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador.

    The nation's economy continues to languish with high unemployment and uncertainty as the Obama administration tries theory after theory, trying to boost it, instead of letting it boost itself.

    The various "Green" companies that the Obama admin decided to boost with loans of taxpayer money (Solyndra, etc.), have gone belly-up one after another, resulting in the loss of the funds and loss of thousands of jobs.

    The website for Obamacare, after having half a billion dollars spent on it and three years of effort and work, still crashes regularly, blocks users from getting policies, and generally works poorly when it works at all.

    And the Obamacare website's poor performance actually serves to mask the fact that the insurance it's selling is far more expensive for most people, with far fewer services available, that the insurance policies they used to have. The insurance that Obama assured us would cost less and cover more, does neither.

    These things are all well known. But why does this administration continue to rack up failure after failure? It seems that everything it touches, it screws up.

    There is an unpleasant smell of bumbling and incompetence spreading through every part of this administration. And no one has ever been held accountable for even one of these failures.

    Why are these people's performances so consistently bad, project after project, year after year?

    The Founding Fathers designed a government that would do as little as possible, leaving most things to lower governments more directly accountable to the people; or to the people themselves.

    If we ever needed a reason WHY they did so, we could not have a better one than the continual bumbling, screw-ups, and general incompetence of the Obama administration.

    They are the best argument yet, for smaller, limited government. Yet they still want to take on more, and do more. God help us.

    Back to the subject:
    No one from the Obama administration has ever been held accountable for any of the problems it has caused. Could this have to do with their apparent lackadaisical attitude and halfhearted attempts to make things work, that results in their continuous failures?

    That's a fuster cluck that pales in comparison to Obama's entire time in office. Obama should write a book titled --How to destroy a nation in 8 years! A second one titled- How to bankrupt a nation in less than 8 years! --Tyr

    Back in the dark days of the Dubya administration, I used to complain about the incompetent and inept White House bunch on a daily basis. I was chastised for being hateful and single-minded. And how it was unpatriotic to bag on the Commander in Chief, since it portrayed the U.S. as a weak, divided nation.
    Now DP has a half-dozen or so Obama hate threads every day, often regurgitating the same horseshit. But it is cool, since apparently liberal black guys can't get away with the same crap that conservative white guys can.
    Feel free the continue with the hypocrisy, though. I find it extremely humorous.

    Obama ran up more debt in just over 3 years than Bush did in 8 !! Nothing humorous about it and I criticized Bush when he did it so will criticize bamboy even more because he doubled down on it! I called Bush on his refusal to secure our Southern border with Mexico and I do the same with Obama. No hypocrisy coming from me at all. --Tyr

    Do you honestly think they are lackadaisical and halfhearted in their attempts? I think they are making every effort to make things work which of course speaks volumes to their continuous failures.

    I've been calling Obama out for refusing to fulfill his promise to withdraw American troops from the Middle East. But if you read up on the debt ceiling, you see how much of it has snowballed from war debts and continued payouts to prop up the banking industry, which was near collapse from mismanagement and lack of oversight during the Dubya years. It's not just numbers.

    Link to continued payouts to prop up the banking industry? And trillion dollar deficits do not add up to your snowballing of "war debts." The deficit is high for two reasons, Federal spending beyond historical averages to GDP and revenues that, last I checked, had not yet reached the level of the '07? peak. The response from the current administration is an abject failure when compared to other recoveries. Also, link to mismanagement and lack of oversight? Bush had attempted to regulate F&F but was rebuffed. Would you contend that Sarbanes-Oxley was an example of a lack of oversight?
