| Obama's Inability to Hire Good Help Rears Its Head Â… Again |
| 2008-05-12 |
| Jake Tapper, ABC's "Political Punch" Blog We started covering Sen. Barack Obama's inability to hire good staffers in June 2007, when he blamed staffers for some opposition research trying to link Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, to outsourcing in India; for injecting some venom in the David Geffen/Hillary Clinton fight; and for missing an event with firefighters in New Hampshire. In December, we noted again that Obama was blaming the answers on a 1996 questionnaire on a staffer; and was blaming his touring with "cured" ex-gay gospel singer Donnie McClurkin (which antagonized gays and lesbians) on bad vetting by his staff. Those five buck-passing incidents were apparently not enough. . . . There follows a litany of staff errors--or rather, of errors blamed on staff. Before we even get to ideology . . . do you want this guy hiring the next Secretary of Defense? |

| #1 What ever happened to the Global Poverty Act sponsored by Barack Obama that would give away a big chunk of our wealth and result in a hugh welfare program for third world countries? Guess where the money would come from? You guessed it, the American taxpayers. |
