Hyperbole, you say? If this story from the UK Telegraph <\/a>is even remotely true, Terrified may be an understatement.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest. <\/p>\n

Allies of Mr Obama say his weary appearance in the Oval Office with Mr Brown illustrates the strain he is now under, and the president’s surprise at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk. <\/p>\n

A well-connected Washington figure, who is close to members of Mr Obama’s inner circle, expressed concern that Mr Obama had failed so far to “even fake an interest in foreign policy”. <\/p>\n

The American source said: “Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda. <\/p>\n

“That was the gamble these guys made at the front end of this presidency and I think they’re finding it a hard thing to do everything.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even the colossal dumb ass Joe Biden warned that the Presidency is no place for on the job training.<\/p>\n

One thing I have discovered in life and almost always at the peril of the \u201cleader\u201d in charge is that the higher pay grade of the amateur the more catastrophic his decisions will be for the institution. In this case the institution is the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Almost by definition an amateur is ultimately destined to screw up something significant. The larger his scope of responsibility and power the greater the risk that the screw up will be far reaching enough to actually put the viability of the institution in grave danger.<\/p>\n

Obviously the presidency is a very dangerous place to put a rookie.<\/p>\n

I have seen totally unqualified people placed in positions of responsibility over the years for a variety of reasons and I can\u2019t recall a single instance where the individual succeeded. Watching the train wreck is never pretty and always follows a similar pattern. This is where my fear comes from.<\/p>\n

Incompetency – Overwhelm \u2013 Exhaustion \u2013 Panic \u2013 Catastrophe<\/p>\n

Is it time to be afraid? Gold soaring, gun sales spiking, stock market plummeting, unemployment rising, taxes soaring and massive inflation right around the corner\u2026<\/p>\n

Yeah, I think it\u2019s getting time to be very concerned where this amateur is taking our country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
