Peggy Noonan Writes Obama Is Incompetent

[Danube]

"He Was Supposed to Be Competent"

"The spill is a disaster for the president and his political philosophy.

I don't see how the president's position and popularity can survive the oil spill. This is his third political disaster in his first 18 months in office. And they were all, as they say, unforced errors, meaning they were shaped by the president's political judgment and instincts...

The president, in my view, continues to govern in a way that suggests he is chronically detached from the central and immediate concerns of his countrymen. This is a terrible thing to see in a political figure, and a startling thing in one who won so handily and shrewdly in 2008. But he has not, almost from the day he was inaugurated, been in sync with the center. The heart of the country is thinking each day about A, B and C, and he is thinking about X, Y and Z. They're in one reality, he's in another."

The reason Obama is divorced from good decisions and the majority of American people is that he functions from anti-American indoctrination. Obama sees America as the problem in the world. He thinks if he can take it down enough notches the world will be a better place. Of course this is typical of people inclines to Marxism/neo-Marxism

This is common amongst all liberal fools. Many people, including myself, had high hopes for Obama. He has failed us on every level imaginable. Everyone knows this.

No shame in being fooled once. I went through it with Carter.

So you're arguing that the oil spill is an example of Marxism/neo-Marxism? :\

I believe you need to take a step back into reality. Only then may you be able to contribute to debate.

I didn't say "the spill" was an example of M/n-M. I said Obama's attitude toward it (and the US) is. Obama resents America - like all his many and documented radical friends and sponsors.

Oh yeah sure, we'd be better off with Bush and his kind of Republicans still running things

Ducking "The spill is a disaster for the president and his political philosophy."?

Anyone who paints the oil spill as a political disaster for Obama can be summarily dismissed as being totally blinded by their own bullshit.

Utterly transparent desperation on the Right, with Noonan's hatchet job being just another example. They act as if there are no consequences to their own policy of "Drill, baby, Drill!" And if there are, then those consequences must, obviously, be blamed on somebody else.

What is it that Obama's critics suggest his admin actually *do* wrt the oil spill?

Speak up- inquiring minds want to know.

 

[13Gigatons]

Obama didn't allow the 3500 oil rigs to operate in the gulf of mexico.

Obama didn't run the MMS.

Obama can't stop the leak even if he wanted too.

I thought government wasn't suppose to intervene?

I thought the private sector had all the answers?

Sure Mr Obama is going to take a hit with this. He is POTUS. I am not sure how BP fucking up like this a reflection of Mr Obama.

The reasonable question should be: Is his government doing everything possible about this mess?

What I want to to know is what the GOP has to offer except more Reaganomics: Tax cuts for the wealthiest and less government regulation? That is what I am going to be asking, when I vote in the next two federal elections.

 

[waggy]

i don't see how the spill can be considered Obama's fault. he didnt cause it to blow. his administration didn't' tell BP to do it.


sure he acted slower then i like. he should have had the government take control earlier. There is enough to rag Oama on no need to nit pick

Its the slow reaction time and lack of coordination on cleanup that has people pissed off. Nobody actually thinks he caused the well to blow up

The problem you guys have is you go to hyperbole too often. Any sane person can see that Mr Obama is not a Marxist. It is impossible to give credibility to pretty much anything you write. You really should tone down the craziness and talk about the issues.

To address the OP, this is another example of Mr Obama's political opponents saying and writing anything, no matter how fictitious, to attack him.

 

[ChunkiMunki]

yes, the federal government should have warehouses full of state of the art oil cleanup equipment and a staff of thousands of federal employees standing ready to address any disaster created by private companies....also we should have a small government and low taxes. Maybe the private sector can do this cheaper and more efficiently.

 

[senseamp]

OK, so a Reagan speech writer doesn't like Obama. I think he can live with that.
