Gary- Stupid she is not. Worthless, vile, reprehensible, evil, foreign, maybe, but not stupid. What she lacks is wisdom- something lacking in most politicians and the ones that "run" the politicos.

I remember the words of George Carlin. "Think about how dumb the average American is. Now consider that half the people are dumber than that."

It does not matter if Obama personally ordered these things, (I suggest he didn't), it is STILL his responsibility. But has Obama EVER accepted the responsibility for ANYTHING that did not go 100% correct? Not that I remember. You have to know that Obama is just the front man, the pretty face put in the Oval Office to sign what he's told to sign, to read whatever is put on the teleprompter. Look behind the man and peek through the curtain, and you will find the real power- And the evil HAS a name- Valerie Jarrett. She has been behind Obama since before his first foray into politics.

Why is the president required to submit a budget? Sure, he should make suggestions, but it is the House which is responsible, then the senate, but the president should really have no say i how much money he gets. Separation of powers, and all, you know?

We get the government and bureaucracy we have because hard working conservative people do not WORK in government or the attendant bureaucracy. Conservatives, for the most part, go out on their own, make their own way in the world, or work at a job they love. Does anyone really believe that government workers "love" their jobs or do them to achieve a sense of accomplishment? I don't. Just by looking at the people who work ot the DMV or other government offices, they are there to get a steady paycheck,the inability to be fired )civil service) and they could care less about the job or they people they "serve" Hence, the lack of drive or other intangibles. I'm not sure how to fix the problem, but that's how I see it.

Here's how I see it (I think someone else also mentioned this). Obama is the Chief Executive Officer of the biggest organization in the world. He WANTED the job. He's not qualified to do it, but we let him have it. So... HE is gonna have to take responsibility for EVERYTHING that happens in ANY department he has direct control over. No ifs, ands, or buts. Many people said he didn't have the experience to do the job, and we're finding out he doesn't. In fact, he does nothing unless his handler (Valerie Jarrett) permits it. He may just be the front man, but its his name on the door, so its HIS responsibility. Foe any and everything, good or bad. Especially the bad.

Yeah, you wonder why California is broke? Not anymore. This is just SOP for corrupt politicians (and their financial lackeys).

We're giving too much credit to Obama. Although his name is used, it is NOT his decision. I submit that Obama has made NO decisions since entering politics way back when. Any thing he says, or does, must first be approved by Valerie Jarrett. "Pay no attention to the man (woman) behind the curtain"

He tried the same thing with Chris Wallace on Fox this morning. Shameful bovine excrement.

The BEST way to fund the federal government is through a consumption tax. And they have a bill in committee right now to do that. Its called the Fair Tax (HR 25). Since all taxes are eventually paid for by the final consumer, lets make it visible- and simple. get the facts at fairtax.org

You know, we really DO need to lay off Obama. Of course he doesn't know anything. That was obvious from the beginning. He's NOT in charge. He just has the title. Its the Wizard of Oz syndrome. You have to look behind the curtain (Valerie Jarrett and George Soros) to find the people who REALLY are in charge.
