Falling from the Ivory Tower…
in the early evening on Wednesday, the 4th of February 2009 by Gypsy
I honestly can not recall in my life time any president having this many cabinet fumbles as they entered office.
He was touted as being such a “high-tech” presidential candidate. So why did he not use technology to actually research his cabinet choices? Presidents prior to this yahoo did not have such technology at their fingertips and yet somehow managed to make by far better choices for their cabinets.
Has he made a good choice yet? One decent decision? Anything?
He chose Biden has his vice president. He is urging the closing of Gitmo. He backs live birth abortions, and to eliminate any abortion bans. His inauguration had a speech by a militant white-hating black reverend. And he obviously favors tax-cheats.
I think I will be floored if he makes one wise or heck 1/2 way intelligent decision in the next 4 years of hell that we face!
During Tuesday’s press briefing, glib White House spokesman Robert Gibbs did his best to bat down a rising chorus of questions about his boss’s judgment – not only on the nomination “glitches,” but also on an ever-growing list of exemptions to Obama’s no-lobbyists pledge. Echoing Bill Clinton’s “most ethical administration ever” and Nancy Pelosi’s “most ethical House ever” mantras, Gibbs defensively asserted: “The bar that we set is the highest that any administration in the country has ever set.”
Fine they set a “high bar”.. and it might be hard to pole vault over, but how about perhaps crawling under it? If they are trying that is embarrassing, and if they are not trying.. well that is just a whole ‘nother issue!
I do not expect the government to be ethical or honest.. but the decisions Obama has already made seem to be chosen from the complete opposite of trying to achieve ethical & honest!
So either Obama is a complete moron or he will win the prize for the most dishonest president on record.. he already has one heck of a head start!
Then how, pray tell, did all the president’s tax cheats make it past the front door? And where’s Vice President Joe Biden to wag his finger at their lack of patriotism? Team Obama embraced these damaged candidates despite advanced knowledge of their lapses. Killifer’s tax lien was four years old. Questions about Daschle’s judgment have lingered for years. Ask GOP Sen. John Thune, who defeated Daschle the Dodger in 2004 after news broke of his bogus property-tax homestead exemption claim on his $1.9 million D.C. mansion – which he listed as his primary residence despite voting in South Dakota and claiming it as his primary residence in order to run for re-election.
The buck stops at the desk of Barack Obama. A little more of that humility and personal responsibility he spoke so much about during his inaugural address are now in order.
