I hadn’t thought about the Peter Principle. But you’re right. Democrats can’t be failures. If you’re a member of the commune, you are connected. This batch of Obama’s nominees are so unqualified for the jobs to which they have been nominated that it is unbelievable. Absolute adherence to Obama orders seems to be the defining principle. We’re in for a very bad time.

Just remember, if you’re a Democrat, you CAN’T be a failure. Who cares if your policies have done more harm than good? Why should it matter that incompetent administration of your duties has made a hash of everything? Why should it even be a problem if you have NO actual policies? You’ll still be rewarded with some position somewhere.

Obama is an example of the Peter Principle in action.

I actually saw one article that claimed Lisa Jackson was being considered for President of Princeton University. It’s just getting weirder and weirder. Obama’s nominees — what can I say? The Senate has long had a tradition that barring unusual circumstances, a president should get the nominees he wants. But this bunch are beyond the pale.

It’s kind of like that pile of horse-pucky that Bill Clinton was trying to peddle during the DNC… that no one could do a better job at making any of this better than Obama… which will remain the accepted line for media and Democrat pundits until a Republican who knows what he (or she) is doing takes over to fix the problems, and things start getting better almost immediately. Then they will revert to talking about how “bad” it was when Obama took over, and he did the best he could with a “divided” Congress (overlooked will be several inconvenient facts, such as his having solid Democrat majorities in both houses for the first two years, or that many ideas (such as the sequester, and tax increases) came directly from him).

But what can you expect from a group of people who keep claiming Reagan’s economic policies “ruined” the country, even as they enjoyed the fruits of its success?
