IS INCOMPETENCE JUSTIFICATION FOR IMPEACHMENT?

Now the Republic’s enemies must be asking themselves: where is the bottom to these people’s incompetence? Can they do anything at all? How safe is it to rush ahead? Why don’t we try?

And if they do, what tools will President Obama have left? Diplomacy? Economic incentives or sanctions? Moral authority? Maybe the military. Yes that’s it. But his competence at war is predicted by his incompetence in peace. One would hope he’d have the sense to stay away from truly dangerous tools and that probably means he doesn’t know better.

A political crisis is engulfing the Obama administration.

Obama’s credibility — and by extension America’s — has been downgraded to junk bond status.
