What else should we have expected from this low class clown? This “international man of mystery” about whom we really know very little, except that his only major “executive experience,” four years as the Director of the Annenberg Challenge of Chicago, during which he directed the expenditure of over $100 million dollars to improve Chicago’s wretched school system–all channeled to far left advocacy groups and groups espousing black identity politics–was declared by all concerned, as well as outside experts, to be a total failure and waste of money; during the campaign, for some strange reason, Obama never wanted to talk about this “executive experience,” or to really own up to the fact that he even worked for the Challenge.

The description, “bull in a china shop” doesn’t even begin to cover it. An inept, supercilious would be Machiavelli–using the tactics of “community organizing” he was taught by Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” by stoking panic with his hyping of “disaster” and “calamity” so a panicked citizenry would allow him to “save them” and overlook–in their panic–his and the Democrat’s attempts to ram through enormous spending and taxation legislation to radically remake America into a Socialist country; an attempt that will just make a recession become a Depression.

He attempts to appoint a whole shabby roster of tax cheats to oversee the economy and the tax system.

Meanwhile, on the international front, Obama very deliberately and gravely insults the English PM, Hillary. our Secretary of State, presents the Russian PM with a emblematic electronic control button supposedly to represent the Obama Administration’s attempts to “reset” America’s relationship with Russia, except the button is labeled not “reset” but “over charge,” Obama appoints a pro-Saudi and pro-PRC, anti-Israel ideologue–and not too bright a one at that–to a key intelligence post, and appears to be on a course to perhaps fatally disrupt the few alliances we have left, while pandering to every enemy we have on the planet.

In Medieval times the classic scam was for a city slicker to sell a rube from the country a “pig in a poke,” a supposed suckling pig in a sack (poke) while convincing the rube somehow not to immediately open the poke and check out the pig. Later, on the way back to the farm, when the rube opened the sack, he would discover that a rat, or more likely a kitten, was in the bag thus, “letting the cat out of the bag” and when the cat escaped, “being left holding the bag.”

Well, I would say that the cat is out of the bag and, yes, we are all being left holding the bag, indeed.
