President Obama’s arrogant demeanor and tendency to talk down to people has made him an easy man to dislike and, some would say, even hate.
However, a new dynamic is at play here: Obama has shown raw incompetence on a scale never witnessed before in an American president, including the much-maligned George W. Bush.
Although Bush was adept at butchering the English language to the point of being nearly undecipherable, he was never guilty of down right stupidity.
Think about it.
W. never:
Signed a trillion-dollar “stimulus” without reading or understanding the bill. Nor did W. compound the foolishness by promising that the unread bill would create 3-4 million jobs
Accepted a Nobel Peace prize right after announcing a major deployment of American troops on foreign soil
Announced closure of a terrorist holding camp (GITMO) without the slightest idea about where to send hundreds of deadly killers
Appointed a tax cheat to head the U.S. Treasury, a post that oversees the IRS
Accused a police officer who was simply doing his job of “acting stupidly” without knowing the circumstances involved
Allowed the U.S. Attorney General to drop very serious Vote intimidation charges against the New Black Panther Party
Lied about jobs created in order to make his stimulus mistake look less serious
Ridiculed Special Olympics children on national television
Made a fool of himself on two separate occasions in Copenhagen
Bowed before the King of Saudi Arabia and Emperor of Japan
It is no longer possible to respect President Barack Obama enough to scorn him. Alas, his incompetence cries out for pity!
