wretchard & all – but what is *Pelosi’s* excuse?

and the rest of the dems who vote for this stuff? and the MSM that spews propaganda for it?

That means President Obama has no real significance except to mark this strange period. But he neither caused it nor can lead us out of it.

He’s the bowsprite of the S.S. Incompetence.

Back to my corporate anthropology and wretchard @ 28, “management” today is done bottom-up: middle-management’s style is all brown-nosing the guy/gal above them. No managers look down at what is actually happening in their domains. Again, BP and Obama seem to share this equally. This is an immense change, a virtual reversal, of predominant style over one generation (not the brownnosing was ever rare, but for it to be overwhelmingly predominant is news).

Now, in corporateland, the guy at the top is often a figurehead (see above), a ceremonial figure. Maybe Obama is more corporate (modern variety) than many give him credit for. Isn’t this what people accuse *Republicans* of – giving the nomination to the guy whose turn it is (Bob Dole)?

Don’t hate Obama because he’s beautiful.

Make excuses for Obama as one might, his incompetence will hurt us. Just as those kids who are passed through the grades without learning have an “excuse” in that “it’s the system”, but that doesn’t do them a bit of good out in the real world, and at some point, yes, the real world rules.
