| Soul Train Administration is Running Off the Rails |
| 2014-10-01 |
| We've all gotten used to the idea that Washington isn't working well because of partisan clashes that have brought relations between the White House and Congress to a standstill. Congress deserves the scorn it receives from the public; its approval rating is somewhere around 15 percent. But incompetence isn't the cause of gridlock; rather, gridlock is the result of passionate and profound disagreements. Nor is gridlock caused by confusion; everybody knows perfectly well what is going on. The same can't be said of the administration, which is awash in incompetence and confusion, much of it deliberate. Consider: In the past week, the question has arisen whether the president refused to acknowledge the rise of ISIS over the past year or whether the intelligence community underestimated the threat. Either the president is right and the intelligence community has presided over its worst failure since the Iraq war, or he's wrong (or lying) and simply closed his eyes to a situation he did not wish to see. No matter which is true, it's a disaster. |

| #1 "...agency, policy by policy, President Obama and his administration are running off the rails." Soul train administration? Seems more like the jive a$$ administration. He never really got on the rails. He is totally out of his depth. He never had a real job prior to the President. Many of the people around him are the of the same ilk. For example, Boeseker said yesterday, that Maria Harf or was it Josh Ernest or was it Jen Psak should have returned to the sorority to do whatever they do in sororities. |
