Incompetence or By Design

Yesterday morning I called Obama the most incompetent president ever.  I was quickly informed that I was not only wrong but short sighted.  The premise is that Obama's strategy for transforming our country is to benefit from crisis by intentionally making the crisis worse and thus selling far Left solutions as the only viable means of escape from the crisis, aka the Cloward-Piven strategy.  Obama's actions in the Gulf oil spill crisis-allowing shore saving boom to sit in warehouses, refusing to lift the Jones Act, stopping the dredging, on and on, are either examples of grouse incompetence OR a means to force the passage of a comprehensive energy and environmental package that will fundamentally transform our country while concentrating even more power in to the hands of Washington even if it means that the Gulf states are ruined in the process.  So, which is it?  Is Obama incompetent or is he evil?  Have your say:
