There’s a rumbling below decks on the good ship Obama.

Geithner’s choice as his deputy has pulled out of the running.  Sanjay Gupta  has also withdrawn his name as Surgeon General. Charles Freeman is about ready to give up on taking over as head of the National Intelligence Council… he of the remarkable view that ‘Tiananmen Massacre Was Justified’   that raised so much smoke a while ago. And of course, Freeman is Anti-Israel, as well. 

(Am I alone in finding his surname… Freeman… rather ironic? The guy has no idea of freedom, apparently… OK, we’ll get to that another time. Focus, Eric, Focus!)

  Captain Ed Morressy snarks:

That makes … how many appointments to fail in the Greatest Transition Evah?  And the countin’s not done yet.

…maybe at some point, we’ll get the media to recognize that their obsequious hosannas to the Obama transition had no relation to the truth.

Yeah, maybe, Ed. Maybe, but I doubt it. 

sinking_shipSee, here’s the deal:

We have an economy on the ropes, a stock market that’s lost half it’s value since Obama took the oath of office, a foriegn policy that has in five weeks gone from respected to laughing stock status, with our once solid freinds now openly annoyed with us… and giving huge amonts of money to our enemies

Again, Obama has managed all of this in only five weeks, and yet the Dinosaurs refuse to recognize, apparently even to themselves much less to their readers, the pattern of disaster that Obama represents. I’ll tell you true;   If they’ve not admitted to getting the message by now, they’re not going to. 

As for the rest of us, I think it’s about time to start considering this presdient a failure of epic proportions, and react accordingly. Those he’s been trying to appoint to various positions within the administration, apparently are. That should be a warning to us all. As Ed says, this is just the beginning in terms of withdrawals and resignations. 

When on ship, you notice a bunch of rats on deck, diving into the water, you’d best assume they know something you don’t, and start looking for the life preservers.
