The Peter Principle

In the Peter Principle, one anecdote I distinctly remember is "Concentrate on the little things, the big things will take care of themselves" from one of the iron rules of incompetence. What brings this to mind is our beloved Leader's (Barry and the Boys) spin on Afghanistan and any other international problem. He cant make up his mind on what to do. On one hand, if he is aggressive, he takes the risk of angering his friends on the far, far, left. But if he pulls out too quickly he breaks a major campaign promise. So far, all he wants to do is vote "Present." and hope the problem goes away on its own. So instead of concentrating on resolving the international issues (Afganistan, Iran), he concentrates on the little things that is important: his dog's birthday party, among other items. I believe the Peter Principle was the one book written about Barry that is absolutely true.
Hey, I did not vote for him. Half of America was besmidden by his good looks, his charm, his oratory abilities, the prospect of America's first black president and did not look past the exterior to see what was inside. If they had they would have found no backbone, no spine, no gut, and obviously only half a brain. How many more years do we have? Counting down the days and hoping we can make it to 2012 in one piece.

Barack wins Olympic medal for "Being There"

I must be from the old school. I always believed you earned a prize or medal. For example you had to compete and beat a bunch to win the Olympic gold. To win the medal of honor or Purple Heart you had to do something really special like save a ship or your platoon of men. When I received my diplomas I had to work hard to get them, pass many tests and courses. But of course that was then, now it must be in to simply be there to be awarded a prize or medal.And then one has to be a great football player to earn an Heisman.

Nowadays all you have to do is show up. Barack got the Peace Prize for what? What accomplishment has he ever completed let alone something great? This is media and idolatry at its worse. The nobel committee needs to be reviewed Perhaps we can ship the UN to Sweden and let both deliberate forever. What a sham.
