Page: Sense that Obama Administration 'Not Competent' Will Be Midterm Factor

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page said the American people have begun to question the competence of President Barack Obama.

Page said, “I think both of these stories, the Ebola virus and ISIS are feeding into a sense that Americans have that the world is not only a dangerous place but the government is not competent to handle them. Even the secret service controversy. I think contributes to that sense. I think it is a very dangerous thing for President Obama, the sense that his administration is not competent to protect the American people, that is the most fundamental job of a U.S. president and I think it is a big factor in the midterm elections.”
