Chickens are coming home to roost for Barack Obama, both at home and overseas. When he first entered the White house, to worldwide acclaim, and backed by huge majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, he could do whatever he wanted — and could do no wrong, in the eyes of the mainstream media.
People believed whatever he said, whether about how he would cut the federal deficit in half during his first term or how people could keep their current insurance and their current doctor under ObamaCare, which would also insure millions more people and yet somehow lower the costs at the same time.
If he could have done these things, it is hard to know what he could have done for an encore. Walking on water would have been an anticlimax.
Of course he did none of these things. The Obama administration added more to the national debt in his first term than President Bush had in both his terms put together. As for ObamaCare, which has not yet fully taken effect, health care costs have already gone up, and many people's hours of work have already gone down, as employers seek to escape the huge costs of ObamaCare by hiring part-time workers, who are exempt.
As for foreign policy, President Obama began by betraying a pre-existing American commitment to allies in Eastern Europe, to supply them with an anti-missile defense system. These nations had risked the wrath of Russia by allying themselves with the United States, but Obama blithely talked about pressing the "reset button," as he flew off to Moscow to try to cut a deal with the Russians behind their back.

Thank you Dr Sowell!
Let’s give Obama and his followers each an M16 and let them punish the Syrians as much as they want.
Well, honestly, would you want to meet with Kerry? I would have kept him waiting all day.
The good Doctor, that is one of the guys that cannot possibly be accused of being racist, left bruise after bruise after bruise.
The only thing th President can do now to force the country into war is rain missiles on Bandar Šâhpur and force Iran to act themselves.
Agreed...Dr. Sowell has been bruising Obama since before he was elected nearly five years ago but he outdid himself with these:)
International strategy by “thinking out loud” and hoping something, some day, will stick... and get ObaMao out of a jam from... “thinking out loud”
“Of course he did none of these things. The Obama administration added more to the national debt in his first term than President Bush had in both his terms put together. “
And we will suffer the consequences of the Obama Experiment” long after this freak show is over.
Syria doesn’t have chemical weapons. The Democrats verified this when President Bush was in office.
