OMG - Noonan Finally Figures It Out

I just read Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal editorial, He Was Supposed to Be Competent. I had a mixed reaction between wanting to puke and laugh. Disbelief does not even begin to describe how I felt reading this from, supposedly, one of the most astute political commentators in the country.

She could not see this coming? The evidence of Obama's incompetence was mountainous, voluminous, overwhelming (fill in your own adjective here). I thought John Kerry was the least qualified person to receive the nomination from a major political party until Obama came along. As incompetent as Jimmy Carter was, at least he ran a state before being elected to run the country.

Obama had never run ANYTHING. He had never made a payroll; doesn't know what payroll is. His lifelong influencers, for the most part, hated America. How many of us have friends like Bill Ayers, a preacher like Jeremiah Wright and associates like Van Jones. If you want to be really frightened, read the resume of a randomly selected Obama “Czar”.

Noonan expresses incredulity over Obama's obtuseness, disconnection, indifference and chronic detachment from the majority of voters, his poor political instincts and judgment. My question to Noonan is what evidence did you have prior to your recent revelation that Obama would be otherwise?
He is doing exactly what he told us he would do, "FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM AMERICA". He knows he will be a one-term President unless, of course, the reconstituted ACORN can be revved up, he passes Illegal Immigration Reform and turns 80% of the illegals into Democrat voters and/or the Census results can be manipulated in his Party's favor. See how this is all related Ms. Noonan???
Even if he is a one-hit wonder, look at the damage he will have inflicted on the country. He will be a paragon of virtue for left-wing, progressives for the rest of his life and beyond. FDR has got nothing on the Big O.
Noonan goes on to say, "It's not good to have a president in this position—weakened, polarizing and lacking broad public support—less than halfway through his term." - THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT SOMEONE WHOSE RESUME HIGHLIGHT IS "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER"!

"Obama was supposed to be competent" - HOW THE HELL DID SHE DRAW THAT CONCLUSION?

I will give credit where it is due here. At the end of the article, Noonan says this "when you ask a government far away in Washington to handle everything, it will handle nothing well." At least she ended on a high note.
