Obama and Holder and Their Massive Failure to Think
The American Thinker ^ | November 22, 2010 | Kyle-Anne Shiver

Posted on 11/22/2010 1:37:01 AM PST by Scanian

Well, the bubble of Obama supremacy has finally exploded in all our faces and is now lying in tatters, with little giblets of its former hot-air glory spread from here to kingdom come. The candidate who played his "Peace is just an Obama speech away" tune to the easily bamboozled left has just been dealt the final blow that crashed the big, fat hot air balloon.

The very first test case was just last week: a former Gitmo detainee, brought to NYC to be tried as a civilian with all the rights of a genuine American citizen, was found guilty on a single picayune count from a list of 280-plus murder charges.

Ahmed Ghailani was found guilty by a civilian jury on a single count of conspiracy to destroy government buildings. Never mind the hundreds murdered by means of the TNT bought by this enemy combatant, obeying the orders of his own commander in chief, Osama bin Laden. Due to constitutional protections gratuitously bestowed on him by President Barack Obama and the Department of Injustice, Ahmed Ghailani will soon be sentenced to serve a couple of decades in an American prison (minus time served, for sure), where he likely will sue the people of the United States of America over and over again with some trumped-up "cruel and unusual punishment" claim.

Wherever he is, Osama bin Laden is having one heck of a great laugh right this minute as he watches Western civilization shoot itself again, again, again, and again in the foot.

What we have here is a great, big, fat failure to think. A failure to think beyond the next sentence. A failure to give an ounce of credit to the president in charge on 9/11 and the thousands of career security personnel who devised the enemy combatant plan and engineered Gitmo to hold these bad guys indefinitely as the prisoners of war that they are. A complete failure to think through possible outcomes and plan around them.

Obama & Company have been called the Keystone Cops too many times to count. But they are far, far worse than mere incompetents. They are blowhards who believe in their own mental and moral superiority to the point where they put all Americans at gratuitous risk.

Obama and Holder are “blowhards who believe in their own mental and moral superiority to the point where they put all Americans at gratuitous risk.”

I like the characterization of Obama as a “blowhard.” “Blowhard” and “windbag” are old-fashioned words but they certainly apply to Obama’s very windy and talky approach to just about everything which the writer calls “Peace is just an Obama speech away” and “hot air glory.”

That just about sums up Obama’s ridiculously inflated image for me.

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is a treasonous act pure and simple.It was not that they failed to think, they failed to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States and should be punished to the full extent of the law!

The author gives them far too much credit.

"Ahmed Ghailani will soon be sentenced to serve a couple of decades in an American prison..."

And you know good and darned well that this murderer will be separated from the general population for his own security. Heck, even hardened convicts hate terrorists who want to kill them and their families.

Twenty years is a long time. You never know when some guard just might forget to lock the door between this terrorist and the other prisoners. Accidents happen.

I have heard rumors that some of those douchbags have succeeded in promoting Islam to common criminals they’ve met in prison...which is why terrorists need to be separated from the rest of the jailbirds. Terrorists can “infect” them with Islam, just as terrorists might be at risk of attack themselves.

I disagree with the premise of the title.

Obama and Holder both have objective that are conscientiously treasonous!

Harpo never spoke...Obama never shuts up.

Plus, Harpo had legit musical talent. I have yet to spot any real talent on the part of either Obama or Holder other than for reading speeches written for them off a telepromptor.

And for following Marxist, PC doctrine always. Of course.

I took at as meaning that they are both mindlessly Marxist.

Nothing says anarchy quite like a ruling elite that decides on its whim whether to prosecute the laws as written. And then, only to protect some of the people that it favors.
