This is Obama's Last Foreign Policy Chance
The Daily Beast ^ | Jan 14, 2015 | Leslie H. Gelb

Posted on 01/15/2015 6:21:01 AM PST by libstripper

The failure of Obama or Biden to show up in Paris made clear that most of the president’s team can’t be trusted to conduct U.S national security policy and must be replaced—at once.

Here’s why America’s failure to be represented at the Paris unity march was so profoundly disturbing. It wasn’t just because President Obama’s or Vice President Biden’s absence was a horrendous gaffe. More than this, it demonstrated beyond argument that the Obama team lacks the basic instincts and judgment necessary to conduct U.S. national security policy in the next two years. It’s simply too dangerous to let Mr. Obama continue as is—with his current team and his way of making decisions. America, its allies, and friends could be heading into one of the most dangerous periods since the height of the Cold War

WOW!! Leslie Gelb is the GOP/Dem. foreign policy establishment's establishmentarian. Jut look him up in Wikipedia. Coming from him and being published in the Daily Beast this is a huge denunciation of Obola and all his foreign policy works.

No one on TV, even FOX, will draw the obvious inference—even as a possibility: “He’s a Muslim. It explains most of his foreign policy conduct.”

Unless someone takes Obama by the hand and he has a come to sanity moment, it won’t happen.

He’s convinced of his own brilliance, much like Nero was convinced of his own poetic ability.

We all know what happened then, only this time, it won’t be Christians burning; just the entire world.

They all know it but not one has the guts to broach the subject.

Fauxcahontas won’t be any better... and might be worse.

Same with the beast (but I don’t think the beast is going to beat the squaw).

How much plainer does Obama have to be?

He has said multiple times he sides with the Muslims.

I take him at his word, on this.

March the 6th, 2007. Nicholas D. Kristof of the New York Times, "Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated, Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.'"

Right, that’s also why the GOP needs to stop playing footsie under the Pacific Trade Agreement table with him.

He is an odd sort of Muslim though, with his focus on the environment and LGBTQ issues. He even had several embassies fly the rainbow flag, and then there was known gay Chris Stevens as ambassador to Libya.

I can’t decide if he’s just a brilliant adopter of the Alinskyite tactic of finding dissatisfied groups and stroking them to gain and maintain power, or if he really means it.

Sometimes I think he’s a complete psychological mess, with everything serving his narcissism. In other words, he thinks HE knows best about everything, and how all of these unholy beliefs and movements should blend. Or, maybe he’s just bizarrely clueless. I wish I knew.

They won’t even touch the subject of Obama being a Muslim let alone that he is really creation by sperm of a SE Asian cult leading Muslim named Muhammed Subuh. Obama sealed his records but the trail of mama Stanley Ann hasn’t been so efficiently wiped out.

Why back Valerie Jarrett told Barack if he wanted to pursue a political career, he had to do so as a Christian.

A Christian in the form of a Black Nationalist, Anti-Semite & Louis Farrakhan supporter.

You know, like Jeremiah Wright.

What with all the slammy bros at the white hut, bammy is scared to speak out against satanallah. He’s scared he’ll get shived when he gets back.

Nailed it. You can stop there.

He's the protagonist in Being There—but nasty. He may think there's more to it, but he basically belongs in a rubber room.

So true. Last night BOR outright stated there was no evidence he was a Mudslime. Indeed, several people on Bret Baier’s show went into verbal contortions discussing how Obola’s staff failed by not telling him about the Paris demonstration, when all Obola had to do was look at the TV to see it and understand what to do.

And we know he watches TV. After all, even during the playoffs (or the pre-playoff hoopla) there are occasional news bulletins.

... the president’s team ...

It's not a team, it's a gaggle.

You don’t have to be a ‘black’ or ‘African’ person to have dark skin. As a boy I was often mistaken for a ‘black’ boy when I tanned in summer. I had one very enlightening incident as a ball playing youth and then another one while swimming in the Pacific in the WWII years. Those times in my life taught me that a dark skinned person isn’t necessarily an ‘African’.
