Is the Obama Administration becoming the gang that can't shoot straight?

The Obama Administration may be so mired in its own arrogance that it doesn't understand how to cope with opposition to its policies and, possible, incompetent staff.

Neither the Administration nor Congress has listened to the American people in the healthcare debate.  Debate is a polite word.  Opponents of the healthcare debacle have been called un-American, potential killers, and just about every standard line from the "left wing" playbook.  Looking closely at the bill, you may relaize that the comment "You lie" during the President's speech was pretty close to being on target. 

Now, there is a potential terror attack on an inbound flight to Detroit,  the Administration has said "everything worked" to "nothing works."  Well, which is it?  Obviously, somewhere along the line someone didn't talk to someone.  Or, the Administratyion is so concerned about giving Constitutional rights to terrorists that it doesn't want to believe they really want to kill us.  Well, Secretary Napolitano, thewy do and as the head of Homeland Security you should know that the system doesn't work and you are part of the reason it does not.  The secretary is in over her head and needs to either leave or find someone competent to run the agency and you can sit back and collect the checks.

This morning, we learn the Prsident Obama decideed to continue with the closing of Gitmo without any reconsiderationm.  So, if closed, 80 Yemenis will return to the land of Jhad and plot more attacks on the US.  The latest failed attemopt, thanks to passengers on the plane not Homeland Security on the ground, has said there are 100s more ready to do the same thing.  So, when a 747 full of US citizens blows up, maybe the Presidnet will pay attention to the terrorist problem.  This attack was not isolated.  The attacker was known to the CIA.  His own father reported him to the US Embassy.  Yet, his visa remained in force.  By the way, Mr. President he is a terrorist not a suspect.

Congress should also stay as far away from this as possible.  There is no need for multiple Congressional hearings.  These proposed heartings will only further acerbate the situtation.  If the US Court system is planning to prosecute the terrorist, let the trial go forward without any political intervention from Congress.

One more thing, Mr. President, what were you doing for three days before making any comment on the incident?  Surf good in Hawaii?
