President Barack Obama's administration is stressing out knowledgeable Americans when you consider the clumsiness of his operational skills. It's like putting him in the cockpit of a sophisticated fighter jet when all the previous experiences he had was no more complicated than running a lawn mower.
I don't know where to begin, because he and his chosen cabinet and staff have made too many gaffes to list or remember:
Backing green energy financial failures like bankrupt Solyndra.
The blunder of arms deals known as "Fast and Furious."
Untethered NSA (National Security Agency).
Illegal targeting conservative organizations and companies to deny them tax exemptions.
Stonewalling the attempt to get answers about mishandling the Benghazi tragedy, or the whereabouts of the lead principals of responsibility...the President and Secretary of State.
A six-year pending promise to fix the problems with the Veterans Administration.
The legal prison break of 36,000 illegal criminal immigrants by Obama's Department of Homeland Security, to direct Immigration and Customs Enforcement to open the gates.
Obama's benevolence toward the Muslim Brotherhood.
Negotiating a flawed nuclear agreement with Iran to create a legacy.
Resuming diplomatic relations with Cuba and taking them off the terrorist nation list.
Carelessly leaking the names of the CIA station chief in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Bypassing Congress and the required 30-day notification law by releasing five of the most notorious terrorists from Guantanamo, in swap to free alleged deserter, Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, and
Playing second banana to Vladimir Putin on the world stage.
Some of the above might not have happened, or would be occurring to a lesser degree if the President wasn't so detached, and exert so much effort and resources on his "Affordable Care Act." It was put together by politicos who dismantled the medical profession in order to overhaul it; but it turns out they knew little about how to put it back into working order. Millions added to our over eighteen-trillion-dollar debt have been wasted with cost over-runs by engaging foreign technologists in its chaotic implementation.
There are skunks in the room emitting those repugnant odors by the Obama administration and nobody has done or is doing anything about it. It remains to be seen if the new AG, Loretta Lynch, has the independent integrity to begin clearing out the stench or will she interpret and prosecute the law as seen by her personal beliefs. The caution flag went up during her confirmation hearing when she espoused, "illegal residents have all the rights afforded to legal American citizens."
