Barack Obama is more vulnerable to blackmail than any political leader imaginable. Exposure of his actual birth certificate, college transcripts, non-American passports, or compromising photos of him in bed or out with who knows who or what could destroy his presidency.

Russia’s KGB has all the material necessary to do such a thing; if not, it could expertly manufacture it and cause a great deal of discomfort for Obama.

So, is it any wonder that Vladimir Putin has been able to ‘’convince’’ Obama to do anything Putin has wanted him to do from the beginning of his presidency onward?

In fact, when Obama was involved in his 2012 re-election campaign and temporarily unable to comply with Putin’s demands, Obama was caught on tape promising that after his reelection he would be ‘’more flexible’’ in again doing whatever Putin wanted him to do. And so it has been.

Apparently, the King of Saudi Arabia has now also gotten the goods on Obama and has threatened to expose them. Why else would the King have demanded last week that Obama come personally to Saudi Arabia and why would Obama have complied immediately, and what happened at the meeting except that the King ‘’convinced’’ Obama to finally do his bidding of arming the jihadist rebels in Syria?

So, after 140,000 deaths already in the Syrian war and millions of refuges, we will now see the war escalate into greater horror, with the U.S. now in the middle of it.

And there’s nothing anyone can do about it except shake their heads at the foolishness of pundits wringing their hands over Obama’s disastrous foreign policy. Because this is NOT about foreign policy, which Obama cares nothing about. It’s about HIMSELF — the ONLY thing Obama cares about.
