Carter administration all over again: The competence of President Obama questioned

Who will the president blame for this? Assuming his protective press cares enough to cover this subject, that is.

UK Guardian:  White House staff tried to 'un-ring the bell' after revealing CIA chief's identity

which led to the CIA's station chief's identification.
 
"The White House blew the cover of the top CIA agent in Afghanistan on Sunday, when the person’s name was included on a list given to reporters during a visit to the country by President Barack Obama.

"The name was then emailed by the White House press office to a distribution list of more than 6,000 recipients, mostly members of the US media.

"The agent in question, listed as chief of station, would be a top manager of CIA activity in Afghanistan, including intelligence collection and a drone-warfare programme under which unmanned aerial vehicles mount cross-border attacks into Pakistan."
Get this man out of that country NOW

With new troubles, questions mount about Obama's competence    " 'You've been a United States senator less than two years, you don't have any executive experience. Are you ready to be president?" the late Tim Russert asked Obama on NBC."
In response, candidate Barack Obama did not address this question.
Obama Detached
 
Why is Team Obama unable to bring home Marine held in Mexico?   "After he was treated, officials chained all four of his limbs to his hospital bed. Now back in jail, he remains chained to his bed by one leg.
"Equally egregious is our own government’s lack of desire and priority to negotiate Tahmooressi’s release."  Lucianne.

BBC: Is US foreign policy 'vacuous, vapid and weak'?    "The most senior Republican on the Senate Foreign affairs committee, Bob Corker, tells me there are "questions about the United States that haven't been there in time in the past".

" 'And I think that creates a vacuum and in that vacuum other people step in," he said.

" 'I am very concerned about the lack of a clear-sighted foreign policy in our country." Lucianne.
We don't want conflict but the best way of preventing conflict in the world is retaining American power in the world”   Professor Nick Burns Harvard professor of international relations
Fear and anger among allies

Letterman writer Bill Scheft: "It's not because he's black and it's not because we're afraid. It's just that he's, just so far, just a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that. [multiple panelists say "yeah."] "

Democrats Privately Calling Obama 'Detached,' 'Flat Footed,' 'Incompetent'   ... "Haberman of Politico agreed, cited more examples, and added: "All of this adds up to somebody who just doesn't seem at all involved.' "
 


The 44th president – who once said that his accomplishments could compare favorably with those of any of his predecessors with the “possible exceptions” of Lyndon Johnson, FDR, and Abraham Lincoln – has always had a huge opinion of his executive gifts. The American people no longer share it. As a political creature, Obama’s talents are undeniable. When it comes to competent governance, they turned out to be anything but.
