Hey Americans, we just witnessed the miracle of the decade: On Monday, Jan. 05, 2008, Senator Feinstein, Chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee said that Leon Panetta didn’t have the experience to the Director of the CIA where President-Elect Obama wants to place him. And she made it loudly and plainly public.
Following which, Panetta must have spent that night in the library studying up and doing a lot of research because on Tuesday, lo and behold, Feinstein said that he was now acceptable. And all she had to hear was an apology from Mr. Obama. All that positiveness that Panetta was unqualified was changed to positiveness that he is suddenly the perfect man for the job
Joe Biden says that Panetta will take the CIA “on a new path.” It makes one wonder if that is the path of destroying our abilities to surveil our enemies and wiretap suspected terrorists that this country’s worst enemies, the liberals, have been trying to accomplish.
See how our government is run Virginia? There are Santa Clauses hiding everywhere and if someone needs instant qualifications to be something important, say he is a totally untrained individual that has been a ‘paper-wonk’ all his life and he decides that he would like cloak and dagger work; bingo!, overnight Santa Claus will deem him qualified.
He can take a totally unqualified administrative man and make him a modern day James Bond, complete with racy sports car and luscious models hanging around, overnight. Bill Donovan, FDR’s Director of OSS the predecessor to the CIA, must be turning over in his grave right now. He was a Democrat and he didn’t have a sports car or lots of models.
Well after all, didn’t Santa do the same thing with a totally unqualified minor state senator in Illinois, by suddenly making him qualified to be a full time United States Senator in Washington, DC by eliminating his competition? And while Santa was at it, he decided, what the heck, let’s go for broke; let’s make this young senator, after a handful of US Senate meetings, to be qualified to be our president.
And so Santa worked his magic once again and overnight a poor young boy of mixed blood and religions, so confused that though he has only a small percentage of black African blood in him, but a full 50 percent of white blood, he calls himself an African-American. And Santa deemed him qualified to be our next President.
But the greatest miracle that Santa accomplished was to convince 70 million people to vote for him in spite of his lack of qualifications and his still confused thoughts on his heritage. As Jacob Smirnoff, the Russian immigrant comedian would say, “My God, what a country.”
But ladies and gentlemen, that is the modus operandi of the American Democrat Party; confuse, obfuscate, divide, overwhelm, and conquer and most of all, hire people from ACORN to count ballots.
