Utter Incompetence and No Confidence

For once in my life I wish we had a Parliamentary form of government. Then a motion of no confidence would be called, the government dissolved and immediately we could have Ted Cruz as our new Prime Minister.
Good Bye Obama!
So long to Obamacare!
Farewell to his Terrible Departments, Advisers and Czars!
Good Riddance to bad trash and Utter Incompetence!
So much for fantasy. We are stuck with this mess for three more years. We can only hope for more Constitutionalists in the Republican House and a Big New Republican Majority in the Senate!
What Senators Cruz and Lee spoke of has come to pass. m/r

The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Utter Incompetence

By  on 10.23.13
The analogy will be obvious, but bear with me:
Imagine an enormous corporation with several large divisions. The corporation has a CEO and each division has a president or senior vice-president.
(Example: At WalMart, Mike Duke is the CEO, Rosalind Brewer is President and CEO of the company’s Sam’s Club division, and Jack Sinclair is the Executive Vice President of the company’s grocery operations.)
In these situations, the division heads report to the CEO, particularly on initiatives which are expected to have substantial impact on the company, whether on its revenue or earnings, or on intangibles like the company’s brand.
It is not just the division heads who should want to be in close contact with the CEO on major company projects, but also the CEO himself. After all, the buck stops with him.
Yet when it comes to the organization with the largest budget, the greatest revenue and spending, in the solar system, the federal government of the United States of America, the CEO is AWOL.
