TransitionGate (MORE: ZINNI APPOINTMENT “WITHDRAWN”)
Michelle Malkin and Ed Morrissey have two must-read posts up today on how badly Obama and his transition team have bungled, among other things, the selection proceess for nominees for his cabinet and picks for his admin.
The imperections of Barack Obama never escaped anyone who actually paid attention to his record and rhetoric, especially during his campaign for president, but for those in the media who made no pretense about who they supported, and for the elites on the left and right (like David Brooks, as Malkin points out) who treated (and, in fact, still treat) Barack Obama as “not of this world,” well, they’ve been in for a rude awakening for the last two weeks as the reality of a less than perfect Democrat sitting in the Oval Office has set in. We didn’t expect perfection, but they sure did.
Of course, this won’t keep the mainstream mediots and Beltway insiders who continue to fall all over him to see and describe him as anything less than a “messiah,” but maybe the American people will start to take notice.
Come to think of it, his approval rating dropped 15% from 83% to 68% in a matter of a couple of weeks (from pre-inaugural to post-inaugural), so it sounds like they already have.
Update/Related – 11:16 AM: The Washington Times reports that Obama has “abruptly” withdrawn the appointment of retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni for Ambassador to Iraq “without explanation.”
Hmmm …

Umm…is that since the first time he was sworn in, or the second??
What has been funny is that Obama has been having the effect of a tax collector by just nominating people to fill government positions. They are publicly humiliated, and they pay up with penalties!
You know, illegal Presidential Seals and bogus offices like “The Office of the President-Elect” are all fine and dandy – but at some point you actually have to do the job with some sort of professionalism and track record for doing things right.
That First 100 Minutes MADD cover is starting to look a lot more like reality every day! Good thing they started transitioning back in November. What would it look like if they had waited?
Tom: That’s his Sekrit Plan(tm) to save the economy — get Democrats to actually pay taxes! It’s genius!
Couldn’t be happier that Zinni isn’t going to be Ambassador of Iraq. I have to wonder where Jim Leach, Lincoln Chafee, and Colin Powell are going to end up, since it seems that so many of Obama’s cabinet are going to get their positions thru a pay to play scheme, so to speak. – Lorica
His approval ratings will Never drop below 50%. Reason: msm absolutely will not allow it. The polls will become as objective as their news analysis, if necessary. (if they already haven’t)
Reality just hit Bo,that’s all. He ran his campaign like a big hollywood production where everything is fake. Now we see that the emperor has no clothes. The real losers are the American people who are stuck with an incompetent fool for 4 years.
