A Slow-Motion Train Wreck

The One's first few weeks have been among the worst in the history of the presidency. I can't recall any president ever having such a horrific start out of the gate. His nominees for cabinet-level positions are encrusted with scandals and forced to withdraw, his Stimuloid Porkgasm was drafted by Nancy Pelosi and her cronies and is widely reviled, his Treasury Secretary's new plan to save the banks was a total face-plant and his Vice President is running about in foreign nations making incoherent comments that even The One can't decipher.

Well, this is what you get when your resume can be printed on a cocktail napkin. You've got no one you can trust to bring to work with you and all of the people you met in the hall and decided to hire on the way to the office are turning out to be crooks, carpetbaggers and charlatans. He has no experience to draw from to stabilize the situation. He looks like he's just lurching from one crisis to the next. It looks like no one's really in control of the situation.

It's a slow-motion train wreck unfolding before our eyes.
