Americans are paying the price -- a very high one -- of having elected a president lacking any qualifications for the job.
They bought into a fairy tale that the nation's media were peddling in 2008 when the media utterly failed to vet the current occupant of the oval office and instead undertook his sale to the electorate like a box of soap or, more accurately, a seriously flawed used car.
The media's abandonment and forfeiture of any claim to act on behalf of the public as a watchdog over those seeking and occupying public offices is spelled out by Rex Murphy in this superb account from the September 17 issue Canada's National Post.
Undeterred by never having run anything, the guy in the oval office has an excess supply of undeserved self esteem and confidence in his ability to run the country . . . and he together with his equally unqualified appointees are running it alright . . . right into the ground.
