What’s tougher for an American president:
- Determining the status of highly-secret operations in an enemy state that is one of the world’s most closed societies; or
- Checking someone’s tax returns submitted to an IRS that reports to him?
The answer speaks for itself. But that answer has profound implications. Barack Obama is a president who rode to power in part on excoriating Pres. Bush for getting it wrong on WMD in Iraq. And yet . . .
Pres. Obama and his administration failed to figure out, before they nominated Tim Geithner, Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer, that they had fudged their taxes. This was not simply a slip by the Obama administration: it was a failure of intelligence-gathering. Given such serial bloopers, shouldn’t they—not to mention the Bush Lied People Died crowd—be retrospectively humbled in their condemnation of the Bush administration’s failure to have gathered accurate intelligence about Iraq in far more difficult circumstances?

Excellent observation! There *has* to be something we can do to expose this guy fully, and I do mean *fully* — I hope the reflections from my hat don’t daze you too much.
As far as humbling the BSD crowd goes that would, in my opinion, be appropriate. But good luck shaming a liberal. They have no shame. If they did they would be conservatives.
I think I have Obama’s vetting operation figured out. They had a monkey in a room, and pictures of prominent dems and Clinton retreads covering a wall.
The monkey was then given the exact number of darts as there were available cabinet positions.
They left the monkey alone for a while, and when they returned, they selected whichever pics had a dart in it.
Their so-called “vetting” operation is about incompetent.
The Obama administration is turning out to be an unfunny joke.
God help the United States of America.

About that pic of Obama.
Am I the only one who has noticed it bears a striking resemblance to Benito Mussolini?
