No character assassination is required.

The administration is either corrupt, inept, or both. I'm not sure which.

Evidence of corruption? Not the same thing as disapproval of policies.

You don't remember the epic failures of picking an administration? It seemed Obama couldn't even pick his nose without something sinister coming out. Even Bo was involved in a scandal, which I found quite humorous. Tongue

Maybe I've been living in a cave, but exactly what corruption is the administration going to be accused of?



I don't know yet.

Something is off about this administration, though. It could be corrupt. It could be just flat out inept.

Ineptitide and corruption are not the same thing. It doesn't make any sense to claim, without any evidence, that an administration has one or the other problem. If you accuse a politician of corruption, you need some kind of evidence to support that claim.

I never said they were the same thing.

If you think this administration has been doing a hunky doory job, you have been living under a rock. There is a reason the Dems were bite in the Midterms.

I'm not making an accusation (so off the high horse you go), although I did point that there were selection problems in the administration. It is not unthinkable that some corrupt politicians pass screening.

Even though I am Republican, I was not a fan of Bush's administration, either.

Something is off about you. You could be partisan. Or you could be just flat out idiot.

Too bad you cannot take this post back, now. See the post above yours.

Corruption is not the same as incompetence. Maybe the administration is corrupt; it is certainly incompetent. I doubt that Issa is planning to back up his statements, though if there is corruption within the Obama administration, the impressive amount of incompetence will presumably allow it to leak through anyhow.

I never said that they were the same. I said those two things are likely, given the failures so far. Someone put words in my mouth that I believed that they were the same.

A question. If you're a right winger, why are you a Democrat?

I'm not.
