...terrible at their jobs.

On Fox News on September 30th, 2013, during the government shutdown under the Obama Administration, Emperor Tangerine said:
"It always has to be the top. I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. And the president's the leader and he's got to get everybody in a room and he's got to lead. And he doesn't do that. He doesn't like doing that. That's not his strength."

I don't think even the three of them have been in a room to discuss the shutdown and how to negotiate a way out of it. All three seem to just have their fingers in their ears saying, "la la la la la la la."

The hallmark of this shutdown has to be the ineptitude of those three "leaders."

Hopefully the American people will see it somehow....
