Is Obama Incomptetent?
My political theory is that Bush got the incomptetent tag because he was incompetent, just as Obama gets the tag.The problem is that the federal governmnt is so large and growing that the most competent people on the planet will have their competence tested under such a large, ponderous system. In other words, the federal government is far, far too large in terms of employment, power and sheer size to run effectively. As I wrote, Bush was incompetent, just as so as Obama, only Obama is much, much worse. 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.
