The Obama administration - like a train wreck in slow motion?

I do not want the Obama administration to fail. If it fails, this country and its people are hurt. We will all suffer.

It gives me no pleasure to criticize or write negative things about President Obama. He seems like a very nice person. Some like to talk about what a great orator he is. I am less than impressed at that than his likability when he isn't attacking some political opponent.

That said, Team Obama has been an unmitigated disaster from day one. They obviously face great challenges that carried over from the prior administration. Every administration inherits problems and opportunities from its predecessor. Certainly, President George W. Bush came into office with serious economic challenges from the Clinton administration.

However, when people begin to question whether a President is intentionally causing the economy to fail and speculate as to the firing of the Secretary of the Treasury less than 2 months after his confirmation, something is seriously amiss. Intrade already has an account betting that Geithner will be gone before June 31.

Even solid Obama voters are beginning to regret their vote. To date Obama has not even been able to staff the Treasury Department, which should be the primary focus of his attention in view of the economic challenges facing the country.
