It's a simple question which has been coming up more and more....

Is Obama competent?

Obama has failed at every policy endeavor so far.

Health care is sinking his Presidency
Obama tax schemes are causing a meltdown of confidence in business and the hope of the nation
Russia has played Obama like a fiddle
Two wars fester without a commander in chief at the helm. (troops, what troops?)


Here's just a small example of the latest blunder.... one of biblical proportions. Iran is basically GIVEN the bomb under the tacit permission of Obama, who just two weeks ago at the UN declared he was going to rid the world of nukes (who's he kidding...other then himself?_

Russia "Dupes" United Nations and President Obama on Iranian Scheme

Iran wins six-power legitimacy for uranium enrichment - contrary to UN resolutions

DEBKAfile Special Report

If Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov is to be believed, Iran came out of its first diplomatic engagement with the big powers flushed with success. Not only has Tehran gained international legitimacy for its enriched uranium program - contrary to UN Security Council resolutions - but third-nation help is on tap for reaching a higher grade of enrichment.

Monday, Oct. 5, Lavrov let the cat out of the bag when he said in Vienna that an agreement reached between Tehran and six world powers last week for Russia to help enrich uranium for an Iranian reactor had yet to be finalized.

He said experts would meet soon to implement the plan, after the IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei stated in Tehran Sunday that the experts would meet in Vienna Oct. 19 to discuss the deal for Russia to take some of Iran's processed uranium and enrich it further.

The Russian minister referred to "an Iranian reactor," whereas the IAEA chief spoke of enriched uranium to be reprocessed abroad "for use as medical isotopes." Visitors are shown around a small medical reactor in Tehran to demonstrate that its nuclear program is innocuous although Western intelligence believes it to be a link in Iran's covert plutonium bomb project.

The plan to be cleared in Vienna is for the transfer of Iran's stock of uranium enriched to 3-5 percent to Russia where it would be further reprocessed to 19.75 percent. Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton explained Monday that this level "is barely under the 20 percent definition of weapons-grade" uranium.

None of the representatives of the big powers attending last Thursday's meeting with the Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili last Thursday, Oct. 1, revealed that Russia's helping hand would effectively jump-start Iran to cover the distance to 90 percent enrichment in no more than a week or two.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi was perfectly correct when he said there has been no change in his government's "nuclear stance" as a result of the Geneva conference. Not only has Iran not given an inch, but it is presenting the conference and the IAEA chief's visit as "Western acknowledgement of its right to pursue civil nuclear technology including enrichment."

The harsh sanctions hanging over Iran's head have melted away. Indeed, Tehran is effectively off the hook of past sanctions which punished it for pursuing a banned enrichment program.

Furthermore, Moscow will boost enriched uranium stocks four to fivefold.

If the Vienna meeting on Oct. 19 approves this arrangement, it will cut the ground from under any US or Israeli demands for further UN sanctions. It is therefore hard to understand why the Israeli government headed by Binyamin Netanyahu has not spoken up in protest against a deal which shortens Iran's road to a nuclear weapon.

I think that after nine months of this POTUS, the more pointed question is just how incompetent is he???

Only time will tell.
Fascinating.
And sad.

doesn't it depend on what his agenda really is? if his goal is to turn the country into another version of the foundering european model, he might be considered extremely successful. if his goal is to show the world that america no longer wishes to lead the way, but to meekly follow the commands of the rest of the world, he's a real winner. if his goal is to humble this country in the eyes of the world, apologizing for every real or imagined slight and holding the u.s. up as the scapegoat for every country with a grudge, there is none better for the job. if his goal is the destruction of any semblance of a free market and the ruin of long standing industries in favor of the false egalitarianism of socialist philosophy, he's certainly getting it done. if his goal is to make the people pay for the excesses of the bureaucrats in charge of building the welfare state, he's got to be one of the most competent mother fuckers alive. if his goal is to abolish individual liberties and replace them with hive mentality and group-think, he's got a way to go, but he's doing the best he can.

If his goal is to bring us in line with EU mentality.... he is failing at that too. This all should have been a slam dunk with the Dem majority in Congress (health care/stimulus 1,2&3/eject both wars/close gitmo). Nope.... he's on a big slide downward.

Now he may have tried to achieve it..... but he hasn't really achieved anything of permanence. His economic policies will be reined in as soon as he leaves the White House...maybe even before.

I just don't see any competency, other than his campaigning.

Yup, you guys are right.





Obama is most confounding.
He has the backbone to stand up to the big meanies at Fox.
He acts tough with the Chamber of Commerce.
He likes to push around his fellow countrymen who have the temerity to disagree with his agenda...

And yet he is a pantywaist when it comes to dealing with Putin, North Korea, Iran, and other Dictators and Despots.

This is not helpful to the future of our nation.

look around at the number of people that are willing to give up the traditions of individualism and self-reliance for the nebulous concepts of hope and change. there are far too many blind followers, waiting none too patiently for their fair share of the american dream, for the rhetoric of the liberal establishment to not have a lasting effect on this country. the promises have been made and that is all that will be remembered. the unwashed masses have been properly indoctrinated with the notion that the wealthy have made their fortunes on the backs of the poor, through avarice and deceit, and, having seen steps taken by the government to punish the successful, they can only believe it is time for their own greed to be slaked. we have become a nation of self-described victims, waiting for the messiah to carry us home. shown the folly of a socialized system, we are told "but this is america and we can do it better", even as that nationalistic arrogance is demonized by the very political animals that use it to justify their endeavors.

Exactly..... how embarrassed is Hillary Clinton now? They practically bitch slapped her in Moscow this week. She could probably hear the laughter as she left the room. She must realize she is in a slow hell.

I wonder what the hell people expect from this guy. This is nothing more than the same cult of personality we see in Tiger Woods. The difference is that Tiger really has skills.

Harvard is notoriously aggressive in enrolling and promoting under-qualified black students. Not saying that Barrack didn't have the grades, but I'm sure his being black helped. Obama was a two term Senator and he actually won his seat by having his opponent disqualified by digging up dirt about his nasty divorce. The man has accomplished nothing save for knowing how to capitalize on the public desire to see a light skinned, articulate black man succeed.

For crying out loud the man thinks that the way to economic security is to pass out checks in Detroit. I wonder how much crack our tax dollars paid for in that single act.

He's exactly what the detractors during the election said he was.... inexperienced... at everything.

Of course we were all told we were nuts.... but how else do you explain the absolutely abysmal foreign policy gaffs?

He's either incompetent.... or he hates us all.

Well, he was able to be elected president of the USA, despite his affiliations which would derail other peoples attempts at such a job.
