The truth about President Obama is finally coming out. It turns out that very little of this is consistent with either the narrative of his fawning supporters or his worst opponents. His supporters thought he was a brilliant and gifted executive that would change the world. His opponents thought he was an evil genius who would destroy the country. Neither is true.
Obama is not brilliant and he is not a gifted leader. They should have known that, because the only shred of evidence supporting the brilliant theory was his two books, which were probably written by William Ayers. He is gifted, only at reading a teleprompter and he has a wonderful smile. He has never demonstrated leadership in the past, in any position, and he isn’t demonstrating leadership now.
He also isn’t an evil genius capable of destroying the country. Oh, he may be radical enough, but he’s not skilled enough. The number one characteristic of Obama is that he is lazy. He wants to play the role of President, but he doesn’t want to “be” the President. He always shoves the heavy lifting off to someone else. He is also naïve. Obama expects people to adore him, regardless of what he does. He thinks that anyone who criticizes him is just too blinded by bias to see his brilliance. Obama believes he is brilliant and will always believe he is brilliant and he ignores any evidence to the contrary. Harvard did a detailed study and they determined that the number one characteristic of incompetent people is that they do not know they are incompetent. Incompetent people are incapable of recognizing areas where they need to improve.
Obama has certainly delivered a mess. That is now obvious to both Democrats and Republicans. Our economy stinks. Our foreign relations stink. And now the government is paralyzed by some incredibly stupid scandals. The actions by the IRS are not nearly as frightening as they are plain stupid. It is not that they targeted the Tea Party this way that matters, it is that they were so dumb about it. It is even dumber to pretend that this was all the result of two rogue agents in Cincinnati. Fast & Furious is about an insane plan to help ship guns to Mexico so we could complain about guns being shipped to Mexico. The decision to wiretap the Associated Press was another really dumb idea. The Press was already acting like Obama’s campaign staff. Why on earth would he risk antagonizing them? But the dumbest idea was to think they could spin the Benghazi attack as just some over enthusiastic response to a lousy video. Granted they did manage to kick the can down the road past the election, but the truth was bound to come out sooner or later. There were just too many witnesses. Now they are being hammered for a lie that wasn’t even necessary.
If you want a visual description of Obama and this administration, just check out the spy we sent to Russia to try and recruit an informant:
Some are speculating that our guy was set up. If so, that just makes us even more stupid. Has the CIA deteriorated this much? We like to think of CIA operatives as Matt Damon in the Bourne Legacy. These are horribly flawed moral characters, but at least they are highly skilled. Instead we get some guy wearing a cheap wig with a fist full of dollars carrying a written idiotic proposal. This is so incredibly bad that one has to suspect it is mostly true. Putin is probably having trouble holding back the giggles.
Ultimately, I think this is where we are headed. We may not find a direct connection to Obama on any of this. He may not be impeached because you can’t get impeached for being lazy, indifferent and incompetent. He has clearly lied on several occasions, but that may not qualify as a high crime and misdemeanor. As President, he is obviously responsible, but as Barack Obama he probably wasn’t even involved. Instead of an evil empire, think more about a pompous arrogant ass given the responsibility to run an insane asylum. He quickly turns over the day to day management to the inmates and spends his time traveling the globe accepting awards for running the best insane asylum in the world. Eventually everyone realizes that the management of the insane asylum is insane. Perhaps the real epitaph for this administration will be “Dumb and Dumber.”
