Ron Christie and amateur hour

Perhaps Ron is referring to the amateurs who leaked the identity
of a covert CIA officer. Or the amateurs who sent troops to war without giving them
necessary body armor or Humvees because they were more interested in financing a
war with tax cuts for the rich than paying for the body armor.

Then again, when Bill Clinton left office, there was a huge budget
surplus, until the amateurs turned the surplus into a huge deficit, because they
financed a war that should not have been fought, with tax cuts for those who did
not need them, while the amateurs let corruption and war profiteering run rampant.

Bin Laden getting away? More than 4,000 killed in action in a
war that should not have been fought? Covert CIA identities disclosed by ideologues
and partisans who couldn’t tell the truth about WMD in Iraq? Amateurs who drank
the Kool-Aid of troops in Iraq being met with flowers and candy, while they took
a war that was won in Afghanistan and gave it away? Budget surpluses turned into
huge deficits? Troops without enough body armor and Humvees that resulted in what
the Marine Corps pathologists called preventable deaths?

Oh, I forgot to mention: a near-depression.

Compared to this, Barack Obama, whatever his imperfections, is
Gen. Patton, James Bond and George Washington rolled into one.
