#1 How about a very competent con man?

#2 His friends seem to have prospered.

#3 It's not about success. It's about power. Just review all the expansion of Executive dictate that has evolved in face of an ineffectual legislative body and reluctance (cowardliness) to invoke the checks of the Constitution.

#4 Calling him incompetent gives him too much credit. Obamacare, Solyndra, the banks, GM, the "stimuli", the speech in Cairo and Honduras all point to a dangerous leftist radical. Newt is right. Romney is trying to be a gentleman which was the same approach that McCain took. It doesn't work when you're up against a street fighter.

#5 ... including many people who voted for Obama in 2008 and still like him personally.

That's the part I don't get. I see precious little likeable about him and much on the other side of the ledger. As much as I disliked Slick Willy Clinton, I could understand his likeability. Maybe I'm just racist...

#6 Ineptocracy. I can't take credit for it, but I like it.

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

#7 Ineptocracy is related to kleptocracy and idiocracy.
