BloggeRhythms 2/27/2013

Yesterday, citing several examples of the administration’s fiscal mismanagement, poor judgment and complete ignorance regarding effective governance in general costing taxpayers countless billions of dollars,  my final question was, “what is our recourse and exactly how do we get out from under the malfeasance?" 
 
I asked because we’re all paying dearly, while the incumbent and his cohorts continually seek more. And the problem created is that, bit by bit, the nation’s deteriorating as a result of absolute leadership incompetence and absence of economic knowledge.
 
However, while our population suffers here at home due to the preceding problems, it seems that we’re doing just as poorly, if not worse, elsewhere.
 
According to Brett LoGiurato, of Business Insider on-line via Drudge, the Washington Post's Bob Woodward wrote that “The Defense Department said in early February that it would not deploy the U.S.S. Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf, citing budget concerns relating to the looming cuts known as the sequester.
 
Under the Constitution, the President is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the President going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. 'I can’t do what I need to do to protect the country."
 
That, Woodward said, "is a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time."
 
So, what it looks to me like what we have here is politics once again taking precedence over the nation’s welfare and protection of its citizenry. And it goes one huge step further to prove that it isn’t simply lack of knowledge, unwillingness to learn, or making no attempt to grow into the POTUS job that’s taking place. 
 
What’s really going on is the incumbent’s apparent belief that the presidency is a political plum and competent management of the nation is immaterial, because all that really counts is all the hype and smoke in a daily speech. 
 
That's it for today folks.
 
Adios
