Worries grow that Barack Obama & Co. have a competence problem
It was during George W. Bush's second term that the I-word - incompetence - became a routine broadside against him. The Democratic frenzy of Bush-bashing had not spent itself when a larger critique emerged, one not confined by partisan boundaries.
And others are chiming in via Memeorandum.
Money - soon we will be reading and hearing of how only racism can be the rationale for even ...

Confusion
Blue Crab Boulevard —
... Michael Goodwin has a devastating column out today. Devastating for the Obama administration, that is. Not long ago, after a string of especially bad days for the Obama administration, a veteran Democratic pol approached me with a pained look on his face and asked, “Do you think they know what they’re doing?” The question caught me off guard because the man is a well-known Obama supporter. As we talked, I quickly realized his asking suggested his own considerable doubts. Yes, it’s early, but an eerily familiar feeling is spreading across party lines and seeping into the ...

... “Yes, it’s early, but an eerily familiar feeling is spreading across party lines and seeping into the national conversation. It’s a nagging doubt about the competency of the White House … The tag of incompetence is powerful precisely because it is a nondenominational rebuke, even when it yields a partisan result. It became the strongest argument against the GOP hammerlock on Washington and, over two elections, gave Democrats their turn at total control… Which brings us to the heart of the matter: the doubts about Obama himself. His famous eloquence is wearing thin through ...
Obama's Competence Problem
The Corner on National Review Online —
... ] From Michael Goodwin of the Daily News: Which brings us to the heart of the matter: the doubts about Obama himself. His famous eloquence is wearing thin through daily exposure and because his actions are often disconnected from his words. His lack of administrative experience is showing. His promises and policies contradict each other often enough that evidence of hypocrisy is ceasing to be news. Remember the pledges about bipartisanship and high ethics? They're so last year. The beat goes on. Last week, Obama brazenly gave a speech about earmark reform just after he quietly ...

Speak for yourself MSM, we weren’t fooled
Pundit Review —
... Sunday night I wondered aloud why Barack Obama has such a great reputation as an orator. I’ll agree that he gives a good speech. He can read a telepromptor. McCain can’t, he’s terrible at it and the comparison between the two is striking. However, speaking off the cuff or in an interview or debate setting, I find Omaba ponderous and indecisive. He’s not a great public speaker, he’s a great speech reader.
