Barack Obama: CEO?

Americans from loudmouth James Carville, the Clinton hatchet-man, to the man-in-the-street now see a major presidential problem on display. Barack Obama has no clue about how to go about managing the Gulf oil spill. Not a bloody clue and it's obvious to all. Sans teleprompter, he is naked before us, wholly without executive experience and incompetent thereby.

An executive would have organized an ad hoc team of experts with spill clean-up experience, local Louisiana officials who live with the spill minute-by-minute, Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineer and other federal resources, all under the helm of one senior person who has Presidential authority to get stuff done. Instead, we are treated to the emptiest of sound bite rhetoric: "Just plug the damn hole!" Why didn't someone else think of that? Surely Obama is The One.

One almost wants this farce to continue so that voters see what it means to employ a community organizer to lead 300 million Americans, to manage a $13 trillion economy and to deal with world leaders who do have the experience of running something other than their mouth.

Barack Obama is a fraud; a feckless, bewildered fraud: he simply does not know what to do or how to organize the resources available to do the job before him.

We told you so.
