You need only look as far back as 1999, when Clinton, while working in New Zealand, knowing, from weather reports, and BEFORE THE HURRICANE EVEN TOUCHED LAND, issued disaster declarations for Florida and Georgia in anticipation of the destruction the storm may wreak on the southeastern U.S. coast. He then shortened his working trip, in order to return home immediately after that visit to oversee emergency efforts for the storm. His spokesman, Barry Toiv, stated in interviews that the early declaration ''enables state and local governments to get equipment and other things ... in place to begin recovery efforts at the earliest possible moment."

Oh, but let's not go there — heaven forbid (even though that research takes all of approximately five minutes). History and facts don't matter when it comes to this administration. Neither does competency.

Enough is enough. This president should resign.
