Well, the carbon tax thing wasn't a debacle, per se, but he did oppose what economists agree is the best motivator for changing our energy usage while also protecting the low and middle class.

So his opposition to the carbon tax - when you look at the actual numbers - is a little stupid and a little telling as to whom he's fighting for (hint: not us).

But he's done a good job at blowing some tan-suit scandals way out of proportion to hide the leaked plans to kill healthcare, so I'd almost agree you're right, but it may just be bumbling of some career politician who's never had a job other than that and wouldn't know a punch card or a hair net if they fell on his assistant's lap .
