At the White House, There’s Nobody Home
National Review online ^ | March 19, 2015 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 03/19/2015 6:34:52 PM PDT by Kaslin

The absence of true leadership has created chaos at home and abroad.

What has gone wrong with the U.S. government in the past month? Just about everything, from the fundamental to the ridiculous.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the United States to warn Congress about the dangers of a nuclear Iran. He spoke without the invitation of an irritated President Obama, who claimed that he did not even watch the address on television.

Obama declined to even meet with the Israeli prime minister, announcing that it would have been improper for him to have such a meeting so close to Netanyahu’s re-election bid.

Not home because they are either on fundraising junkets or vacation trips.

The common thread in all this chaos?
More than the usual partisanship at home and barbarism abroad.

What I'm hearing from the media is that extremist Republicans in Congress are out of control and just ruining everything because they wield too much power. That's why everything is messed up right now.

I just had a great idea. From now on, Congress should have Bibi address a joint session of Congress, right after Obama’s SOTU show, and call it “The State of The Free World”. He’s the leader of the free world right now, since the US has abdicated the role. We could also have the guy from Canada, too.

I disagree.
The regime is leading the US exactly as the regime wants it to go.

When ancient Israel needed a leader, Saul was out Javerting David. When today’s America needs a leader, Obama is out Javerting Netanyahu. I am tempted to say that Mt. Gilboa can’t come soon enough, but those who read here would misinterpret that as a threat to Obama’s life, which I do not mean to state nor imply: I don’t want him dead, I just want him gone, and want someone take his place who knows who our friends should be, and who our enemies are, and how to deal with each.

Nope. These commie bastards ARE home, led by the Iranian born Vallerie Jarrett and her lead toad, muslim Barry Soetoro. They are following the plan set forth to them by the PTB, to destroy our Country piece by piece, incrementally and under the radar in some cases, fully open in many others. They have been very efficient at their ‘work’. Jarrett/Warren is their next up team, after Barry, to finish the job.

Yeah, I think more and more people see it — Obama is tremendously successful at getting almost everything he wants. It’s bad for us, because he plots our doom.

Oh yeah, there’s somebody home; a marxist/muslim who knows exactly what he’s doing- destroying America/our values/our way of life from within.

There is also no one home at the US Senate or the US House of Reps, in either the republican or democrat party. If there was, Mr Obama and Ms Clinton would both be resting comfortably in prison. But we can’t expect the establishment to rock the boat now, can we??????

Let me interpret this statement, because the liberals always tell you what they’re either doing, have done, or are planning to do.

The truth: The whole extremist DemocRAT party is out of control and just ruining everything because they wield too much power. That’s why everything is messed up right now.

YOU SEE HOW THAT WORKS? THE LIBERALS JUST TOLD US WHAT THEY’RE DOING AND WHY.

We must teach people how to read between the lines of everything the liberals say - if you learn to do that, you will always know what they are really up to.

Case in point: When Obama was loudly complaining that he would not meet with Netanyahu because [he didn’t want to influence that election] - I KNEW - OBAMA WAS TRYING TO INFLUENCE THE ELECTION.

See how that worked. It still amazes me every time.

I don’t believe that - I’m sure he’s in the white hut living room watching college hoops.

What we used to refer to as “out to lunch on a permanent basis” when I was in college back in the late 1960s. These amateurs have “blown that popsicle stand [White House]”.
