?Expect this to play out in thumbsucker columns on whether America is ?ungovernable.??
-?Professor Glenn Reynolds, the conservative ?Instapundit,? in 2009 commenting on a blog post by Ed Morrissey about growing evidence of President Obama?s deficits in leadership skills and management competence.
I mean, who can do this? It?s impos?oh. Right.
Sure enough, here comes a the Washington Post?s Chris Cillizza, with an offensive, unethical and false column in the Washington Post titled ?It?s virtually impossible to be a successful modern president.?
This is a continuation of the six year strategy of the White House and Democrats to argue the ethical value of accountability out of existence. After all, if a job is impossible, you can?t be blamed for failing at it.
If there is any analyst ill-prepared to make such an analysis, it is a journalist, who in most cases, and definitely in the case of Cilliza, have never led or managed anything. Leadership and management challenges always look overwhelming when an amateur is overwhelmed by them.
I have to rush off to a seminar, so I will let you all dissect Cillizza?s pitiable excuses for the President, and return to the topic when I get back.
