Worst Person of the Week (7/4)- RNC Chair Michael Steele

Ever since this fool took the helm of the GOP National Committee, a vast array of ill-informed, uneducated comments have slipped out of his dumb mouth. This week, Steele asserted that the conflict in Afghanistan was a war of "Obama's choosing." The dummy subsequently elaborated on how the war was not an endeavor that America "actively engaged in or...wanted."
On one level, Steele's assertion can be views as an incrimination of his own party's policy; as well-informed people know, this was a conflict initiated by REPUBLICAN president George Bush. The Bush Administration began the war in 2001. However, this operation was soon eclipsed by another war, an unnecessary war of Bush's choosing, that of Iraq. As intelligence, manpower and supplies were drawn away from Afghanistan and shifted to the Iraqi theater, the Afghan effort predictable began to crumble. If anything, it was of "Obama's choosing" to salvage a slumping mission that had gone sour on the watch of a Republican president.
On another level, this comment shows how politically oblivious Steele is. Even before this week, some in the GOP were calling for Steele to step down due to his pesky habit of lavishly spending RNC funds on things such as nightclubs and luxury hotels. Now, even GOP heavyweights such as Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol are asking for their Chairman's resignation; only the non-interventionist Ron Paul libertarian wing of the GOP still seems to approve of Steele.
