This thinking is so eerily reminiscent of the USSR and any other Commie country you can think of…political reliability/ideology far outweighs actual competence and expertise.

Sometimes liberals remind me of used car salesmen.

Instead of no credit, no money, no problem, here’s a car you can’t afford it’s no experience, no qualifications, no problem, here’s the power to influence and control something entirely beyond your capacity to handle efficiently and effectively.

At least Monica knew what to do with a tailpipe and crank shaft. Deese guy isn’t even a third tier advisor. If you had willfully planned to destroy the US Auto industry this is how you’d do it with a mindless bureaucrat with no common sense or experience.

I can picture Bob Newhart trying to explain this to Darryl, Darryl, and Darryl:

“Uh, Deese, uh, uh, Brian Deese. Uh, he’s going to complete the dismantling of GM. Or something like that.”

DD&D: “Say what?”

“Uh, yea, President, uh, Obama, uh has picked him to, uh, take over, the uh, well, hell, the final destruction of the auto industry. But, uh, there’s nothing to, uh, really, uh, be concerned about.”

DD&D: “Cool.”

Lets see, 15 years programing computers, 5 years active military,….. Hmmmm

Under this logic, I am well qualified to to run NASA I think.

I’m sorry, but with your experience we’d have to pay you too much; you are over qualified.

It just doesn’t end.

It is really scary that more people aren’t catching on to Obama. What does he have to do before there is a public backlash?

The breadth and depth of incompetence of this administration is breathtaking. How is anyone supposed to have confidence in what this government does when it’s being run by a bunch of inexperienced children?

redfoxbluestate on June 1, 2009 at 7:17 PM

I’m tellin’ ya….its intentional. Incompetence and inexperience have nothing to do with it imo. There will be no serious resistance to this train wreck of an administration until this is understood.

Let’s see, GM execs sold off their stock this month. The UAW doesn’t want Chrysler stock, it plans to sell it all off and presumably will do the same with GM stock. So, stakeholders don’t think enough of the companies to hold stakes.

Now O appoints some kid who recently ~~graduated from~~ dropped out of law school to handle the GM bankruptcy.

Sure looks like no one is serious about GM’s or Chrysler’s prospects. Why in the world would anyone consider buying their stocks or products?

Can we replace “Hail to the Chief” with “yakkity Sax”
