The morality, responsibility and consistency of those who voted for the winner may be gauged by the statement - which I have already encountered three or four times - that they "hope" that those of us who warned them against him were wrong.

Hope.

They have elected a politician to the most powerful post in the West based on what they hope he will prove.

Such appalling insouciance and irresponsibility is certain to be punished. God may delay His punishment for sin - often to the next world - but He never intermits anything to the punishment for stupidity, which is always paid, and paid strictly and with plenty of interest, here on Earth.

Competence in campaigning does not prove competence in governing. Nor does it even imply such comptence, especially when one's campaign involves making numerous contradictory promises. One cannot govern in such a fashion.

And since when did Obama manage it anyway? It was a Chicago operation ran by the seasoned likes of David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett. This is the most successful and enduring party machine in the world; you think one measly presidential campaign is beyond their resources?
