I think AMC has a show on about that. It's called "The Walking Dead."
Love the comment - talk about irony, and poetic justice. Might even be entertaining were it not real life.
And the original question should have been asked in 2008, and 2012: "What on earth would make you believe that someone with virtually no appropriate life experiences would do well managing the world's largest bureaucracy, and leading the Free-world?"
Why would anyone believe, whether you like him or not, that a man with no foreign policy experience, no business experience, no business management experience, no academic management experience (his forte), never had profit/loss responsibility, never had to prepare and live by an organizational budget, had no economic experience, no management experience of any sort, no military experience (other than hating the military), no intelligence gathering or intelligence analysis experience, no consensus building experience, and went to great lengths to hide all of his past performance, and background information; why would anyone believe that such a man would be qualified to run even a condominium home owner's association, much less be qualified to successfully run the federal bureaucracy, and lead the Free world? Obama is a man whose only apparent skill is that of glibly reading from a teleprompter to an undiscerning squishy, adoring audience - roughly a seventh grade skill. His strong suites appear to be golf, basketball, vacations, fund raising (parties), campaigning (parties), reading the paper where he finds out about bad outcomes, and denies responsibility for what is happening in the various organizations that he is supposed to be managing, and is paid $400,000 per year to lead; organizations with additional "administrative" expenses that he squanders to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars (possibly billions, as no one really knows) per year.
His crowning achievements appear to be the decimation of America's nuclear deterrent; his purging of the US military (an organization he will soon come to realize that he/we are in desperate need; as he appears to be well on his way to being the first American President to lose two wars under his watch); and finally his final achievement being the destructive seizing of the American medical system. An action done in the context of a failed VA medical system that has consistently failed to provide minimal medical services to American Veterans for years. All Americans may want to consider, and prepare to receive what her veterans have been getting for many years. What would lead anyone to believe that if they can't get the VA system right that they will not screw up the far larger, far more complex entire American medical system - 1/6th of the US economy.
/SARC ON
Seventh grade skills uber alles - we can move those who believe they are able, from the seventh grade, directly into the surgical operating theater of those who voted for Obama; as hope, for them, transcends and eclipses any experience that might be speciously deemed to be necessary by and from any medical school, or a surgical residency requirement. /SARC OFF
Permit me a bit of reflection: let me see if I have this right... we put an arrogant, self-indulgent seventh-grade-level skill set in charge of the federal bureaucracy, and the Free world, and are surprised that things are turning out badly? One might query: who is delusional? Is it the "seventh-grader" who adamantly continues to insist that nothing is his fault, or is it those who foolishly put him in charge of the Executive Branch of American government and expected - hoped for - something other than unmitigated disaster.
