Whitman can spend, but can she govern?
Does it matter if Meg Whitman can't govern?
"Meg 2010, Building a New California," the glossy 40-plus page "policy agenda" for former eBay CEO and GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, is so slick that it sat on my desk for weeks before I could finish it. I would pick it up, think that like her candidacy, it is overly packaged, and toss it back on the pile of papers that litter my desk. It does a great job of laying out California's financial woes and suggesting possible reforms - but it leaves out how she'll get things done in Sacramento.
The people of the United States elected Barack Hussein Obama as president. Barack Hussein Obama is incapable of governing. Barack Hussein Obama has no skills or qualifications or experience to run anything other than a political campaign. In fact, Barack Hussein Obama is still campaigning on the Bush did it and I didn't platform. Barack Hussein Obama's only apparent skill is to convince people that he is likeable while he is doing very unlikeable things.
Look at how Barack Hussein Obama saved the economy at the beginning of last year. After which millions of businesses closed, millions of people lost their jobs and millions of people are losing their homes. Look at how Barack Hussein Obama is forming a bipartisan consensus. All the political parties, including some democrats, are united in their opposition to Barack Hussein Obama politics. Barack Hussein Obama's mishandling of the Health Care Deform bill has caused his popularity to drop below 50%, and the rest of congress and the senate have even lower approval ratings.
So competence in office is not a prerequisite for election or serving as a politician.
California in particular and the United States in general have been voting for people who look good, but were not the best for the job. Now that we are facing the fall of the United States empire, I see no reason to change that. I don't see any politicians willing to admit that they are the cause of the problem rather than the solution. So electing someone who is incompetent won't make the State of California any worse off than it already is. After all, by any honest measure, all the politicians already in Sacramento (or Washington District of Criminals) are so incompetent and corrupt that the only thing they deserve are prison terms for destroying the economy, not reelection.
But don't hold your breath.
