where else except in an organization over flowing with incompetence from the top on down would one go right up to the deadline and then quote not being able to deliver the assignment. And Obama using his magic words to distance himself from the failure, using the blame scenario as per usual, gets and and says "...those guys...the dems had a plan ....the republicans would not buy it...therefore the republicans are the bad guys again...etc...etc....and this is unacceptable....etc...etc..."

He just does not get it that he is SUPPOSED to be the leader. He is SUPPOSED to as a leader check along the way to see if there is any progress. The members of the super committee are SUPPOSED to deliver an accomplishment. Saying we could not make it happen is not acceptable....except in Washington.

Once again demonstrating there is no leadership, No responsibility, No accountability.....incompetent people who get to keep their jobs whether they deliver or not.

Jr. executives at any Fortune 500 company could put any one of them to shame.

There is no shame to not doing the job.
There is no penalty to not doing the job.

Business as usual in Washington...
