Vietor's shocking response has been subjected to wide ridicule around the web; as we wrote yesterday, however, his comportment reflects a more disturbing underlying issue.
Just what kind of character and background do you need to be a spokesman or official in the Obama administration, even as national security personnel?
These people share certain qualities:
- easily irritated
- arrogance and a condescending attitude toward the public
- tendencies to lie while claiming transparency
- sycophantic cult-like loyalty
- incompetence
- campaign hacks elevated to positions of authority and enjoying every minute of their very temporary authority
American Thinker has background on Psaki:
Obama's second term even more than his first term has been marked by political hacks being rewarded with plum government jobs. This is true over at the State Department, as well, where Jen Psaki has been given the high profile position as its spokeswoman.Here are some of her greatest moments on the national stage. Why would anyone call her an incompetent political hack appointed to a position of significance and authority?
Then there's Marie Harf, who frequently claims to be part of the most "transparent" administration ever. Her glasses set her apart from the Psaki bimbo, apparently.
Harf embodies the overweening arrogance and condescension of this administration, irritated when questioned, and diminishing concerns over violence and possible terrorist activity.
Incompetence? Of course.
Harf is the person who claims "we can use whatever definition of transparency we want." What's important is what Obama's going around saying to everyone, not what the administration is actually doing.
Don't believe me?
Watch. It's at the end of the video around 2:10. Transparency is whatever we want it to be.
Another stellar moment for Harf occurred when she was infuriated by her apparent nemesis APs Matt Lee (who knew?) cutting her off!!! You're interrupting me!!!
Overweening arrogance.
Doesn't he know who she is?
Leftists, of course, see only what they perceive as outward beauty. I mean, who's sexier? Jenn Psaki of Marie Harf? (Can you say House of Cards?)
A quick scan of this page will show you all the same kind of people who are currently running the Capitol: generally good looking, fashionable smart alecks who are slavishly loyal to The One.
But this would be exactly who's running the Oval Office too.
This POTUS is supposed to be the smartest (and most bored) man to ever hold office.
Evidence of the man's intellectual rigor and eloquence can be found in the following video in which he demonizes those with whom he disagrees and accuses their policies of being a "stinkburger.
Um, yeah. It sure looks like the arrogant little pricks running the country are emulating you know who.
They've learned from the best.
Or the worst, depending on your perspective.
I guess anyone who appoints a tax cheat as head of Treasury really doesn't care about optics, competence or national security.
