Of all the times not to have a president.
As Russia casts it eyes across eastern Europe, and as the Islamic State spreads its filth across the Middle East, what a time not to have a president.
At least not a functioning president. Because that’s what we have, a non-functioning president. He slams the lectern and condemns Republicans as he calls for a $15 wage for fast food workers, but two days later he seems detached and bored as he discusses an outfit that curses him and beheads us.
We don’t have a functioning president.
Not just a president with no strategy.
But a president with no brain, no plan, no clue and no balls.
Yesterday, while prattling on like Neville Chamberlain that the Islamic State and its quest to kill or convert the world can, “with the support of our allies,” become a “manageable problem,” his vice president was shouting that the United States would follow these jihad bastards to “the gates of hell.”
A hell, by the way, where Joe Biden said, twice, they richly deserved to be.
Barack Obama read it off cue cards, Joe Biden shouted it from his heart.
No disrespect to Uncle Joe, but when Biden shows you up, you must really suck.
And that’s the deal with Obama.
He really sucks.
He is completely out of his element. He doesn’t know, he doesn’t care, he doesn’t really have a pulse.
When it comes to threats to world order – which mostly arose to fill the vacuum of his failed global leadership – he’s the dumbest guy in the room. And the most spineless. When the French and the British can see the problem, and their leaders stand to demand and take action, our opening of a criminal investigation into the specific head-whacker in the video seems somewhat flaccid.
But it is no surprise.
Fate has favored Putin and ISIS with a clueless opponent, a man whose only passionate ire seems directed at Americans who didn’t vote for him.
A white cop shooting a black teen, he can grasp. A Muslim whack job cutting off the head of an American citizen, he can’t seem to get his mind around.
While Putin brashly rolls his armored vehicles into Ukraine.
The Russians and ISIS have taken the measure of the American leader and contemptuously challenge him, showing no fear whatsoever of American might or Obama resolve.
He is a tall, big-eared patsy.
Nero fiddled, Obama golfed.
And the world is not that far from potential general war. Imperialistic Russia seems intent on regathering old empire, and the most malicious of the Islamists have established a Muslim caliphate, a theocracy that says to the world, “Convert, or die.”
And the White House is debating whether to grant executive-order amnesty to illegal aliens before or after the November election.
Russia pillages our banks and businesses online, and the administration is focused on dictating to our schools what they will serve in their lunchrooms and what they will teach in their classrooms.
The task of defending us has been pushed aside so the administration can stay on the task of oppressing us.
Obama stood there so smugly at the debate and told Mitt Romney, who had just warned that Russia was a significant world-scene foe, that the 80s had called and wanted their foreign policy back. The Cold War – the geopolitical jockeying between Russia and the United States – was over, Obama said, and Romney should catch up with the times.
Tragically, it looks like the times are catching up to Barack Obama, and it looks like the two foreign policy initiatives of his administration are blowing up his face.
Hopefully there won’t be mushroom clouds.
The first initiatives of the Obama/Clinton foreign policy were the asinine “Reset” with Russia, and the early outreach to the Muslim world. Obama spoke famously in Cairo about “A New Beginning,” a more respectful America currying favor with a more powerful Muslim world.
He followed the Obama doctrine: “Kiss foreign ass first, develop a strategy later.”
He did that with Russia and with the Islamists, they both laughed in his face and have set out to conquer the world.
And here we are, facing crises around the world, with a fool in charge. A disengaged, isolated, arrogant elitist who seems able to tolerate anybody but American traditionalists.
It’s too bad we don’t have a president.
Here’s hoping we can avoid world war until we get one two years from now.
The result? The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

"The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization. "
(the key)
He doesn’t want to destroy because he GAREES with the Caliphate!!! And he says “ISIL” which means he want Israel to be a MUSLIM STATE!! THAT is what the “L” means in ISIL. Everyone that doesn’t want that says ISIS!!! It’s a HUGE TELL!!
“Here’s hoping we can avoid world war until we get one two years from now.”

I actually DID expect him to be this bad but I wonder if Lonsberry has considered that it is actually conceivable that when we “get one two years from now” we will get someone even worse. That may sound impossible but then I heard from some that we “couldn’t possibly” do any worse than GHW Bush, Slick Willie Clinton, GW Bush. I wonder how many still believe any of that. Some thought we could not do worse than “Tricky Dick” but I think that idea has been laid to rest for good even though I am NOT a Nixon admirer. Imagine someone with Obama’s narcissistic amorality combined with LBJ’s ability to twist arms and Richard Nixon’s brain. No, I don’t know who that might be but at this stage eight years ago I had never heard of Barack Hussein Obama and I did not fully comprehend what a disaster in the making he was until sometime in 2008.
