Recently, as each new day begins, a new revelation comes out about some radical leftist viewpoint held by one of Obama's myriad non-Senate-confirmed "Czars" (see link below as well as today's Loony Left-Winger of the Day for the latest example). This is a President who had a hard time filling many federal posts after taking office because of the extensive "vetting" process that he applied to candidates for those posts. So you can't tell me that he wasn't fully aware of all of the viewpoints of these various Czars before he appointed them. Apparently, though, being a radical freak with viewpoints representative of about 5% of the country is not something that Obama cares too much about when the vetting process discloses it. Further, Obama can't be so stupid as to believe that all these viewpoints -- which were publicly expressed in the past -- wouldn't come out in the media. No, he knew full well this stuff would be easily discoverable and might be covered by the media. But evidently he thought no one would care or that it wouldn't be that big of a deal. So full circle to my question in the headline: Arrogance or stupidity on Obama's part? Frankly, does it really matter? He looks very bad regardless of which is the truth.Thursday, September 3, 2009
Arrogance or Stupidity? Obama Actually Thought No One Would Care When the Radical Nature of His Czars Came to Light.
