The Peter Principle Presidency

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Are y’all getting the sense the Dipshit is totally out of his league? Personally, I think he knows it. In any case, I think the “peter principle” is a genuinely interesting and relevant business concept because it comes into play so naturally in the real world, and now we have Exhibit A at the top of our very own federal government.

Of course, Obama-to-president is much more like the Hudsucker Proxy than the typical corporate middle manager-to-VP scenario. He is the mailroom guy bumped up to CEO.

And as we are seeing more and more each day, Barack Obama has been promoted to his level of incompetency. And then some.

Obama has no idea what to do about Iran, and he knows it. Our President has always resembled Chance the gardener in Being There. It is easy to imagine that he is acutely aware that a few short years ago he was a State Senator in Illinois and that he is utterly unqualified to deal with matters as weighty as what is now transpiring in Iran.

It is a theme well worth pursuing going forward, and we should continue to pursue the question: In what sense is Obama not a lightweight?

“Absurdly Lightweight”

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Yes, world leaders have gotten Obama’s number, and pretty much all the “journalists” who are not up his hindquarters have gotten his number. Now’s the time to get the word out to the American people just exactly what The Lightweight is up to.

Here is a valuable column in the Canada Free Press by Daniel Greenfield:

His Czars are meant to function as the bones in an executive infrastructure accountable to no one, but a lack of accountability isn’t just another word for tyranny, but for incompetence. A functional chain of command is accountable at multiple levels if it is to function effectively. Obama’s White House by contrast is in a state of over-organized chaos, the sort of organized disorganization that undisciplined egotistical leftists naturally create for themselves, complete with multiple overlapping levels of authority and no one in charge but the man at the top, who’s too busy doing other things to actually be in charge.
