Experiment Gone Wrong???

I have chosen the article titled "Obama Administration—An Experiment in No Experience" from the blog site Redstate, which reflects views of more conservatives. According to the publisher of this blog, this may be one of the greatest tragedies of presidency for our country. The article tells how Obama, unlike those that served as president before him, is inexperienced and incompetent of being a leader and governing our nation, along with his entire administration. Then, the author went on using evidence from recent issues of how President Obama handled the BP oil spill, and the racial issues with Shirley Sherrod at the USDA to support his claim. The audience the author is trying to reach is the American nation as a whole, to persuade them that by electing Obama it was a mistake, even relating his presidency "...to having a cafeteria manager suddenly elevated to Chief Executive of a large food-service company." However, I do not find this source to be credible, I find it one-sided and unfair. How can it be said that the cabinet members do not have experience, when they have either worked in the White House before or had been through congressional hearing to be in that cabinet. I really do not understand how the arthur feels that this is the fault of our president, these issues have been growing and occuring over time. The authors claim is that Obama and his administration are inexperienced because the lack of success in their proposed plans. Evidence provided is "...the President forcing through health care reform legislation earlier this year when poll after poll showed that a majority of Americans believed the program to be unnecessary and too expensive."  Each president of the United States has had their fair share of issues, and thus it will continue for the future presidents as well.
