When the venerable Casey Stengel managed the hapless 1962 New York Mets he asked in disgust, “Does anybody know how to play this game?”Well, I keep hearing Casey’s lament in my head, but not when it comes to playing baseball.
The Democrat Party put up two of the least qualified candidates ever to run for president. One was a former community organizer from the Southside of Chicago and other was a former First Lady form Arkansas.
Neither of them ever held public office as a chief executive be it as a mayor or governor of a state.
Neither one of them ran a business as complex as a lemonade stand.
But, these were the choices the Democrat Party gave to the nation. And with the help of a whorish media that sold out their professional integrity in favor of ideological titillation, both of these neophytes finished at the top of the heap.
So it’s no mystery to me that Barack Obama has been stumbling as president ever since as he seeks to remake America into a socialist’s paradise.
But, the events in Egypt and how the state department was caught of guard have exposed the ineptitude that always existed between Hillary Clinton’s ears.
Just One Minute reports that Team Obama delivers another 'WTF' moment in Egypt, with Hillary Clinton saying Mubarak needs to go and the US special envoy saying his "continued leadership is critical". The Times papers this over as best they can:
The latest challenge came Saturday afternoon when the man sent last weekend by President Obama to persuade the 82-year-old leader to step out of the way, Frank G. Wisner, told a group of diplomats and security experts that “President Mubarak’s continued leadership is critical — it’s his opportunity to write his own legacy.”
But just before his remarks, Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton gave a strategy overview that stood at odds with that assessment. At a minimum, she said, Mr. Mubarak must move out of the way so that his vice president, Omar Suleiman, can engage in talks with protest leaders over everything from constitutional changes to free and fair elections.
It is hardly the first time the Obama administration has seemed uncertain on its feet during the Egyptian crisis, as it struggles to stay on the right side of history and to avoid accelerating a revolution that could spin out of control.
