Majority Say Obama Administration Is Incompetent and Obama Is Not Even Paying Attention -- By Kay Becker, Independent Journal

A clear majority of the American people say that the Obama administration is not competent to manage the affairs of the U.S. government, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.

Those who believe the Obama administration is incompetent weigh in at a clip of 53-42 – a margin of 11 points. In addition, more people believe that the president is not even paying attention to what’s going on than the contrary: 47-45. (That may be because the president finds out about all those “phony scandals” by reading about them in the news.)

The president gets a negative score on a number of policies, but gets a pass for his handling of the war on terror:

• Negative 39-56 for his handling of the economy
• Negative 36-59 for his handling of healthcare (read: ObamaCare)
• Negative 40-49 for his foreign policy
• Negative 39-47 on his dealing with Iran
• Positive 48-41 for handing of terrorism

Ironically, the president ran originally on “hope and change” and then went beyond the Bush policies from before; including signing the Patriot Act by auto-pen twice; presiding over 73% of troop fatalities in the War on Afghanistan; carrying out drone bombings overseas – with innocent civilian casualties; and leading an invasion of Libya without Congressional authorization.

No wonder Obama didn’t want to label Benghazi a “terrorist attack” until the shock of the event wore off – he didn’t want to lose credibility. And after bragging at his DNC speech that al Qaeda was “on the run,” it is now in control of more terrain than ever before.
