Even Obama supporters worried about White House incompetence
posted at 9:37 am on March 16, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
I guess we can officially say that the honeymoon’s over. The New York Daily News, not exactly a pillar of conservative thought, finds itself wondering aloud about whether Barack Obama and his team have the competence to lead the nation. The whispers have grown into a chorus:
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 national conversation. It’s a nagging doubt about the competency of the White House.
Well, what did people expect? For the first time in decades and perhaps ever, America chose a President without executive experience in the public or private sectors, and without military command experience. If people expected smooth performance and cool competence from that kind of resume, then the best that can be said about them is that they indulged in self-delusion on a massive scale.
For the rest of us, this comes as no surprise at all. The failed appointments have managed to be less embarrassing than the ones that “succeeded”, such as Tim Geithner and Vivek Kundra. The administration keeps promising plans that never get delivered, and Obama all but abdicated to Nancy Pelosi during the Porkulus debacle. And that doesn’t even begin to cover Obama’s embarrassing performance during Gordon Brown’s visit, and Hillary Clinton’s shameful “I don’t understand multiparty democracy” tour at the EU.
Obama is in over his head, and so are his closest aides, such as Geithner, Hillary, and the entire team. The best we can hope is that on-the-job training can work quickly.
Update: Worse than Bush? Kevin McCullough makes that argument in his weekly column.

You mean like the regulations that Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Maxine Waters wouldn’t allow President Bush to enforce?
The ones the fecal matter encrusted, worthless gnome pervert Barney Frank broke when he was bedding down with the overseer at Fannie Mae?
If Bammy wants to enforce “regulations” he can order that dope Holder to walk his dumb ass over to the Capitol, read Barney Frank his rights and frog march him into Leavenworth.

Because they didnt ever have rubber stamp power.

Pass the popcorn is right.
Obama can not possibly keep this many balls in the air, even with all the clowns he has helping him.

Getting back to the thread… does anyone have any historical precedent to a new president botching appointments as bad as Obama?
Ive heard only president Tyler was worse. And we all know how successful a presidency that was.

BTW last week I mentioned that when I Googled “Bush Not My President” I got over 28 million results.
I just did the same thing with O’bama.

I will argue unfettered capitalism without regulation gave us the bush depression.
I will argue returning back to that form of economic policy is not an option unless you want it to happen again.
The cons use the talking point of blaming the dems for the housing crisis but do not want to regulate it.
That logic does not make sense.

Bill Clinton had his problems. His first two picks for Attorney General blew up in his face, and it was reported at the time that he actually wanted to name Hillary to the post. Unfortunately for them, an anti-nepotism law had been put into place to avoid abuse like when John F. Kennedy appointed his kid brother to be AG.

I recall seeing a report about 2 days after ObamACORN’s innauguration comparing his cabinet picks versus those of former presidents.
Bush 43 had all but one cabinet member in place on Day #2 and Clinton had all but 5 cabinet picks. Obama’s got 50something days on the job & the holes in his cabinet (pun INTENDED) are legion…

getalife on March 16, 2009 at 2:15 PM
You are truly a buffoon. The Dems were responsible for the housing crisis BECAUSE of their regulations put on banks to give mortgages to individuals who, before the Dems modified the regulations, could never qualify for a mortgage.
Of course the republicans don’t want to regulate, they are well aware of the destructive outcome one can expect from social engineering (meddling with the primal forces of nature).
Man, this is just way too easy.
fogw on March 16, 2009 at 2:16 PM

ladyingray on March 16, 2009 at 2:18 PM
On second thought, lets just call them beckers.
getalife on March 16, 2009 at 2:18 PM
You don’t know what you’re talking about, do you?
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) mean anything to you? Only the single most regulation ever put into place in our history. Every entity except congress had to face SOX compliance and it kept the Big 4 accounting firms (and my wife) doing quite well. Your liberal talking points about regulation don’t hold water, because they are nonsense based upon the assumption that the recipients of the information would be unable to question their validity.
The problems that we are experiencing *now* are due to government interference in providing loans to risky loan applicants. Namely, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) which strong-armed banks into giving loans they would have never considered before because the government would back them. Then look at how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were run (fraud and corruption by Democratic cronies) buying up bad paper and….well, my writing is surely wasted on you because if I have to explain it all, you’ve already turned off and gone, “nah nah nah nah nah can’t HEAR you!”

DarkCurrent on March 16, 2009 at 2:31 PM
Agreed, repubs originally wanted to keep gov’t hands off, but once they saw the report from OFEO detailing the abuses of Fannie/Freddie they wanted to put some stop-gap measures in place and were thwarted by the crooked Dems at every turn- see video report to WITNESS THIS FIRST HAND- FROM THEIR LIPS…
FACT: 2/06 GREENSPAN WARNED the House Financial Services Committee “Enabling these institutions to increase in size… we are placing the TOTAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM OF THE FUTURE at a SUBSTANTIAL RISK…” and “If we FAIL TO PASS these REGULATIONS we INCREASE the possiblility of INSOLVENCY IN CRISIS…” (But, Greenspan had NOTHING to do with the LEGISLATION that ALLOWED THE ABUSE TO OCCUR AND FLOURISH UNABATED- for that we can thank Dems Frank, Watson, Clay, Dodd, etc etc)
FACT: Days later (May 2006) McCain WARNED the Senate, “For years I have been concerned … Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac… need to be REFORMED WITHOUT DELAY…”
FACT: McCain then introduced his own LEGISLATION TO REGULATE Fannie/Freddie WHICH THE MAJORITY CONTROLLED DEMOCRATS UNANIMOUSLY VOTED AGAINST.
FACT: Obama missed the vote (as he did 97% of the time) … and went on to prove that even as President, THE ONLY THING HE CAN RUN is HIS MOUTH…

The government is to blame for our current situation, not “greedy” corporations or CEOs. That meme is simply a diversionary tactic by the government to set up class warfare and ignore the fact that the government is the one in most need of regulation and oversight. And, I’m not just talking about liberals/Democrats, its on both sides of the aisle that are all to blame.

According to MSNBC (the Rachael Maddow Show in particular), there is only one party — the Democrats. Maddow and Frank Rich from the NYT were seriously having a discussion that the Republicans at this stage of the game are completely irrelevant and that this country has a one-party system. I was sitting there thinking is this what a lib feels like when he/she/it watches Hannity on FOX or listens to Limbaugh??

apco on March 16, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Correct, you got something right, on both accounts:
– 1. Conservatives blame Liberals for the housing crisis because CRA (which is a regulation “encouraging” the banks to lend to risky persons) made our current crisis with “toxic assets” and foreclosures/shortsales. The CRA and the motivations behind was a liberal agenda.
– 2. Conservatives don’t want to regulate something that isn’t broken, regardless of the perceived social “benefit” of putting every American into a home (which was the mantra passed around).
Ignorance in its finest form:
– 1. Liberal Illogic = There was greater regulation than ever before, therefore there was no regulation at all. Bush is to blame.
Keep drinking the koolaid getalife, I enjoy this, it prepares me for countering the nonsense my 11 year old brings home from school.
See how fun this is? You say you want regulations, but only on the evil businesses I suppose. The conservatives wanted regulations on the *proven* corrupt (Fannie Mae was audited by KPMG and found to have committed “extensive financial fraud”, doctoring their books for 6 years running so that Johnson could make his bonuses and walk away with more than $80M dollars in that time period and paid $400M in penalties for it) congressionally chartered enterprise, but you roll your eyes at that. You think Enron, MCI/Worldcom and Global Crossings have adversely affected more peoples lives than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac…hmm?
Heehee, one last one;
Socialism cannot sustain itself, it depends either upon appropriating natural resources (which they will process and sell inefficiently, see Venezuela) or appropriating the income and assets of the most productive of the society. On the contrary, capitalism will lead to the eventual recovery of the economy *despite* socialism. Dreaming does not a reality make…socialism is a doomed economic strategy.

DarkCurrent on March 16, 2009 at 3:27 PM
Your statement implies a current “regulation-free” environment. Please reconcile your implication with the passage of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 enacted under Bush’s term and before Donkey control of the Congress in 2006. It appears when Elephants saw a need to enact regulation, it was. Compare this to the numerous examples of Donkey’s refusal to acknowledge the significant ongoing issues/concerns with Fannie and Freddy despite warnings from the Elehpant side of the aisle.

I did so in 2001. It’s almost a half a century since they tried it, and they still haven’t recovered. They were a 3rd world country when they decided to try Socialism, and they’re even more of a 3rd world country than before they tried it.
To expand on this, have you ever spent any reasonable amount of time in any major American city that has been controlled exclusively by Democrats for many decades? Many of them resemble 3rd world countries as well.

Funny how the Democrat Party never seems to be held responsible at all for debacles like Detroit.
If Detroit had been run by Republicans for decades, I think the issue would have been raised a time or two by our media.
But if the Democrats run a city into the ground?
Move along, nothing to see here.
NoDonkey on March 16, 2009 at 3:45 PM
“Print a lot of money, provide ‘free’ condoms, and then print more money” does not qualify as a plan.
People wowed by BHO’s supposed genius during the campaign can’t possibly argue now that his daring plan for the economy (see above) is something that only a seasoned leader could contrive.
Some are embarrassed that they actually believed he had some inside revelation as to how to the save the world… and all thet got was a lousy government-provided T-shirt that their kids will have to pay for.
mankai on March 16, 2009 at 3:47 PM
Yeah, Detroit is a good example. I’m happy to say that I have never been there, not even to change planes.
My favorite example though is New Orleans, pre-Katrina. I had an extended stay there in the late 1980s and even then it was a joke. One has to have actually experienced that place from the trenches to appreciate how the Democrats ran a once-prosperous city into the ground with their social engineering.
Del Dolemonte on March 16, 2009 at 3:51 PM
I have a cowoker here in China who grew up in Detroit yet voted for Obama. I guess because Detroit looks worse than Shanghai. He’s otherwise a smart guy. Is it some vitamin deficiency??
DarkCurrent on March 16, 2009 at 3:56 PM
My wife’s from New Orleans, the schools there are so atrocious (like they are everywhere Democrats run things), that sending you kids to one of them should qualify as child abuse.
Louisiana Democrats have been looting that state for decades.
Then Katrina comes along, you have the idiot Nagin who didn’t follow a word of his own emergency plan and the weepy, inbred moron Blanco as Governor and who gets the blame?
Bush. Unbelievable. Democrats have been screwing that state to the wall for 100 years. They completely f up everything during a disaster and the MSM lets them blame it on Bush.
NoDonkey on March 16, 2009 at 3:58 PM
Don’t look now… Obama spoke in public, so that +120 is gone.
But don’t worry; I saw a comment from during the campaign promising that Obama would end deficit spending and bring back surpluses. If people will believe that, they’ll believe anything.
Just pretend that all spending from the Government promotes strong growth and there’s no such thing as wasteful spending. People are sure to buy that.
gekkobear on March 16, 2009 at 4:03 PM
I don’t know why Obama supporters are worried about White House incompetence. They are demonstrating it every hour of every day, just like every rational thinking adult predicted.
phreshone on March 16, 2009 at 4:03 PM
If the media actually cared about poor people and minorities, they would expose inner city Democrats for what they are – incompetent and corrupt people who have no business having access to public money.
Instead, they let these loudmouthed, worthless, uneducated, race baiting poverty pimps run inner cities as if they were back in Zimbabwe.
Super. So because some idiot Mayor shares an approximate skin color of someone who was held in slavery 200 years ago, some other little kid has to sit in a craphole of a school and receive no education.
Good job, liberals. You’ve really evened things up.
