Is it all about incompetence or just pretense?

There is an inescapable fact – if you put this little effort into capturing someone, it means you don’t want to capture him. Only when it was politically expedient did the President allow the military to do that for which they have been trained and bin Laden was killed. Even in this, it would appear that the President revealed the depth and breadth of his Administration’s complete incompetence and total ignorance of the Mideast temperament. It would have been far more politically advantageous and psychologically powerful to have taken bin Laden alive and displayed him as a the captured, impotent coward that he really was. By assassinating him and then surreptitiously disposing of his body, Barack Hussein Obama has forever installed Osama bin Laden as a martyr of mythic proportion in the demented minds of zealous jihadists and fueled conspiracy theorists ad nauseum. This level of incompetence defies credulity.
Similarly, if you think Obama is competent in fixing the economy and reining in Wall Street, remember what Harold Bradley - who oversees almost $2 billion in assets as chief investment officer at the Kauffman Foundation – said:
“We are in a cabal... five or six players ... own the regulatory apparatus. everybody is afraid to regulate them"
As Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” As long as you don’t lose the teleprompter.
