Obama’s list of shortcomings just
gets longer and longer and more serious. The rash of scandals in the last few days highlights the
seriousness of his gaps in presidential skills. Apparently Obama believes he has simplified
the presidential duties down to only one item; give at least one speech every day. Managing the responsibilities of the various
Cabinet members is not in his definition of responsibilities. Besides, his speech making schedule doesn’t leave
any time for that.
Barack’s reaction to the scandals is
amazing, even for him. “Who me? I don’t know a thing about any of that. Jay Carney will tell you the same thing.” Barack is astonished that we hold him responsible
for what some lowly employees down the chain may be doing. Not his problem. Of course, the cynics among us want to be
assured that the lowly guy isn’t simply responding to pressure from the top.
All of this would be a big hoot if
it weren’t for the importance of a vacated U.S. Presidency.
