Cosmic Affirmative Action has a Price! Team Obama’s Odd Ineptness

Obama (and his wife) have made a deal with the Devil. Unlike old Scratch in "The Devil and Daniel Webster," Obama is not limited to seven years of fortune. His time frame seems to be open ended. I lieu of Daniel Webster, Obama has the majority of the National and International press corp not merely defending him, but openly and uncritically shilling on his behave. He has been handed most things without working for them. Entry into top schools, local political office, a mansion, adulation, a Senate seat, the Presidency, Obamacare, the Nobel Peace Prize (which he not too convincingly noted as undeserving in his acceptance). In the passage of his social engineering Obamacare that makes his government micromanage every citizen's life and mostly their money, Obama hoped to insure his re-election in the expectation that adoration would cool and it would be replaced by dependence.

But now he also has the killing of bin Laden. Obama has had a few setbacks, like not getting the Olympics for his corrupt pals from Chicago and the loss of the Democrat majority in the House of Representative, but Cosmic Affirmative Action can't overcome all forms of ineptitude.

At this point all we can do is hope the Devil will call in his chips and the Republicans will overcome their own, and deceivingly unrewarded ineptness. ♘

The Administration of George W. Bush made us used to a federal government that messed up frequently in the real world, but showed impressive marketing skills and message discipline in the world of spin. This past week has shown us, strangely, an Obama Administration succeeding very nicely in the real world, but then delivering a long series of disabling shots to its own collective foot.

While the military execution was pretty damn good — kill bin Laden, spare most of the women and all of the children, grab records, evade the Pakistani Air Force — it’s pretty clear that the politicians didn’t think through what their responsibilities would be afterwards.

At least the politicians didn’t impose a bunch of regulations on the SEALs — say, first ask bin Laden to surrender in Arabic, Pashto, English, and International Sign Language — that might have endangered the mission. But they didn’t seem to ask themselves what kind of questions they were inevitably going to get asked afterwards, so they ended up improvising contradictorily with lots of now obviously risible inventions.

A reader writes:

McCain painted Obama as a celebrity, happy to hear applause. He did little in his first 2 years to change that opinion.

Ideally, Obama would have said little about bin Laden, leaving us with the impression he gives orders like this all day long. That would make him look really powerful. That would earn back a lot of the voters he had in 2008, but lost in the interim.

Instead his aides said too much about the raid, much of which they are revising. He’s waffling on providing a picture of a dead Osama, leading some 9/11 families to demand a photo. In contrast to the strong confident president we saw Sunday night, we are learning he kept his generals waiting.

The contrast between Obama, and the victorious Seal Team is striking. We know a lot about what Obama did, but we may never learn about the Seal Team members until too it’s late.

The American people gave him a great chance to reinvent himself, and what did he do? He reinstalled the fake greek columns.

The strong, silent approach would have been the best choice: Osama bin Laden, the man behind 9/11, is dead. Last night, American forces raided his compound deep inside Pakistan and killed him. Vengeance is ours.

But, Team Obama couldn’t resist chatting up a storm.
