A Dangerous Incompetent

Bush Forty-three was cast as a dangerous incompetent by much of the media because he was afflicted with occasional bouts of verbal dyslexia. Obama may be a genuinely dangerously incompetent as was manifested in his having to ask White House Counsel Greg Craig the meaning of two executive orders the President himself had just issued and signed on matters of the gravest national import-that of our security. It did not appear that the President was trying to share the spotlight and give Craig his moment in the sun, but that Obama did not know the detail or significance of what he had created. I would rather have a less than loquacious leader possessed occasionally by an appearance of buffoonery but who always had his eye on the ball of national security than a figurehead who is letting others sweat the details or a darned fool who earnestly doesn't understand the stakes. America, we have bet our lives on this novice.
