Obama is America's Version of Stanley Baldwin
Townhall.com ^ | April 13, 2017 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/13/2017 1:48:38 AM PDT by Kaslin

Last year, President Obama assured the world that "we are living in the most peaceful, prosperous and progressive era in human history," and that "the world has never been less violent."

Translated, those statements meant that active foreign-policy volcanoes in China, Iran, North Korea, Russia and the Middle East would probably not blow up on what little was left of Obama's watch.

Obama is the U.S. version of Stanley Baldwin, the suave, three-time British prime minister of the 1920s and 1930s. Baldwin's last tenure (1935-1937) coincided with the rapid rise of aggressive German, Italian and Japanese fascism.

Baldwin was a passionate spokesman for disarmament. He helped organize peace conferences. He tirelessly lectured on the need for pacifism. He basked in the praise of his good intentions.

Baldwin assured fascists that he was not rearming Britain. Instead, he preached that the deadly new weapons of the 20th century made war so unthinkable that it would be almost impossible for it to break out.

Baldwin left office when the world was still relatively quiet. But his appeasement and pacifism had sown the seeds for a global conflagration soon to come.

Obama is America’s version of an affirmative action hire, in way over his head.
Less common sense than a bowling ball, and a socialist agenda, pursued by his handlers.

0bama is a failed experiment of George Soros or someone of the same ilk. The US had a large pool of capable blacks to choose from in 2008, of course they needed to have been socialist, yet they chose a no name inept 0bama.

Dinesh D’Souza makes the point that Obama’s “Dreams From My Father” were anti colonialist, and thus anti-white, dreams. The entirety of Obama’s intention was to negate the influence of America.

If Trump negates Obama’s influence, that will qualify him for Rushmore. IMHO. Trump plans to do so by slashing regulations and taxes, and by turning the Department of Education into an engine for school choice particularly for blacks on the urban plantation, with a view to firing up jobs for all, and actual education - imagine! - for blacks. If he accomplishes that, and gets even partial credit among blacks for it, Pence maybe gets 25% of the black vote - and smashes the Democrat Party nationally.

If that eventuates, Trump will qualify for Rushmore; the worst president to see his sitting VP elected POTUS was Andrew Jackson. Washington did it, tho that doesn’t exactly count since Adams was not Washington’s running mate in pre-12th Amendment America. And the only other man to do it was Reagan.

... except that Baldwin probably didn’t hate England and want to see it turned into a fourth-world hellhole.

Obama is a fly-infested Sunni Marxist Muslim reprobate homosexual, given over to every unclean spirit Babylon has to summon for its use,

This demonic creatures singular role was to surrender and diminish Americas sovereignty and power to the NWO Globalists whose ultimate goal is to empower anti-Christ over this Earth,

They have just learned they are not in control of when those events will be allowed to happen, God alone is sovereign.
