The President Who Doesn’t Get It

A number of maxims surround the practice of war.

The main maxim runs to this effect: When you get attacked, fight back. Unless, to be sure, you don’t care whether you win or lose — an option, to be sure, not given to American presidents and other national leaders, assuming, to be sure, they take with maximum seriousness their obligation to the security of their people and their people’s freedom.

Days after the mass beheadings of Coptic Christians in Libya, profoundly serious questions linger in the air. Does Barack Obama know what’s going on all around him? Does he have the slightest inkling?

Such questions have seemingly a sarcastic edge. No sarcasm is intended. Six years of practice seem to have left our president scratching around for clues to the meaning of all the current onslaughts against peace, order and human dignity. If George W. Bush was in many Americans’ minds a club-wielding Neolithic when it came to foreign policy, Barack Obama is in many minds a daisy-picking amateur poet, detached from the large foreign policy questions swirling around him — detached nearly to the point of indifference.

As Bob Tyrrell said the other day, Obama is the first anti-American president.

People don't don't get it, this is all by design, he knows exactly what he's doing! He's a Muslim, and he's protecting his own!

If people would just realize this, from the newscasters to the political pundit, his actions would make all the sense in the world! But no one is willing to put Obama, Muslim and terrorist in the same sentence.

[Edgar3]

Thank you! Of course he gets it. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

[DaveA37]

The bastard, petulant child is a Muslim and he will NOT go against them. I thought he made that perfectly clear when he stated something like, “When ill winds blow, I will side with the Muslims every time”, (or something similar to that statement). It is time he be removed as POTUS.

[expat2]

He probably is quite aware of what the issues are. But he’s a Muslim and is helping them, not Americans.

So help me God.”

Re post 2. Isn't it amazing?

When you accept the fact that Obama is a muslim, all of his actions become crystal clear.

There must be someone on the conservative side who can say this out loud. Ted Cruz? Rand Paul? Rush?

[varon]

Does Barack Obama know what’s going on all around him? Does he have the slightest inkling?

Yes and yes because Obama is an Islam terrorist's facilitator!!!

[Sirius Lee]

Obama is in many minds a daisy-picking amateur

[SMARTY]

Right... but only because it’s really hard to believe that anyone could BE so stupid that they don’t get it.

Not EVEN “O”, whose stupidity never ceases to stun me

Would a Moslem be helping Putin, too?

[Vaquero]

American Spectator doesn’t get it. zer0 and his illegal regime gets it. He is on the side of ISIS. What’s not to get?

[Vaquero]

Would a Moslem be helping Putin, too?

If he were afraid of Putin he would. zer0 is a coward, first, along with his love of islam and marxism.

[Old Yeller]

These people who still think O’Beelzebub is naive are the ones that don’t get it. Barry is Satan’s spawn. He’s evil and this is all intentional and going per plan.

[Old Sarge]

There must be someone on the conservative side who can say this out loud.

They won't. "Dat be racis'!" would be the cry from every corner.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Would a Muslim be helping Putin, too?

Obola is a narcissic, homosexual, mixed-race black atheist raised by a broken family of Communists in a Muslim country in Muslim schools who hates ALL white Anglo-American Christian conservatives capitalists ....

[JimSEA]

Would you buy, “anti American with a fondness for Islam”?

33% of college graduates still live at home.

Highest sense they keep those numbers.

Go Obama Economy

[nathanbedford]

Obama gets, or should give heed to, the finest, most exhaustive intelligence briefings available anywhere in the world. To conclude that Obama "just doesn't get it" is preposterous. Every nuance, every penumbra, every emanation of those briefings is considered, reconsidered, and considered again before the president of the United States is exposed to it.

It is obviously fatuous to continue to pretend that Obama does not get it. He knows precisely what he is doing and he's doing precisely what he wants to do. The man must be judged by his actions and not by the color of his skin. It is time to stop excusing Obama.

At first he was excused because of his race to the point that he could not be criticized at all. After a series of inexcusable failures that have obviously damaged American security, it is now politically correct to criticize Barack Obama but it is not yet acceptable at the level of the establishment media to call Obama anti-American. We here at FreeRepublic have identified the true Barack Obama since before his first inauguration.

He is not a bumbler he is a traitor.

[Arlis]

I think your words are the money-making one’s - right on.

As someone else said, if a President were our greatest enemy and overtly out to destroy our nation, he would not do much differently than what he has done.

That his support now is reported as being 50% only tells us the the media are just as much out to destroy the nation as he is, and his co-conspirators..........
