Lowering The Bar

"The bar that we set is the highest that any administration in the history of this country has ever set" With that pronouncement the Obama Administration has set itself up for a big bowl of failure. Harken back to 1993. The incoming president, Wm J. Clinton, assured the American people that his administration would be the most ethical in American history. It wasn't a week before two of his nominees, Kimba Wood and Zoe Baird, had to excuse themselves as attorney general for financial indescretions. After Clinton took the oath of office it then became a current affairs examination as to who would have to resign next.
Why would anyone want to set themselves up for failure by uttering impossible to live up to pronouncements? This is what the Obamites have succeeded in doing. Good gosh, there are literally hundreds employees in an administration. As my good friend mentioned to me today; consider you're coaching a football team of one hundred. How is it possible to go through a year without one kid being a screw up?
The Messiah is finding his super nova oracle somewhat tougher going than he thought. Wait until the press turns on him.
