How Stupid Are People

Should we look at the constant scandals, foul ups, SNAFUs, etc from our Federal Government?

Let's just look at the "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" that the President is currently responsible for, let alone complicit with...
1. The VA Scandal - mid level / high-level bureaucrats cooked the books to make it look like they were seeing veterans in a timely manner, in order to receive bonuses. That's fraud. However, in addition to that it's now clear that people have died because of this fraud...
2. Bergdahl - Obama specifically decides to release 5 senior members of Al-Quida. OK, he had that authority, as long as he obeys the law... He didn't. The law in this case is specific. 30 day notification is required before the release of any detainee from Guantanamo. OK, they say it was urgent... Wait, apparently the negotiations took months... They say they couldn't tell Congress because if it leaked Bergdahl's life was in danger.... Wait, 80-90 people already knew about it during the negotiations... I know the definition of lying is watching a politician talk, but this is ridiculous.  
3. Negotiation with terrorists. They claim they didn't violate this standard that has been a benchmark of security, but regardless of the stupid excuses that they gave, they did negotiate with terrorists.
4. Asleep at the switch. Now after how many of our soliders, sailors and Marines have died in the War with Iraq, the country is about to be overrun by another terrorist organization. Caught completely flat footed, these people are incompetent at best and complicit at worst and the president should be impeached.
