Obama’s breathtaking naivete at the United Nations
Washington Times ^ | 24 Sep 2014 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 09/25/2014 1:30:01 AM PDT by Rummyfan

President Obama on Wednesday delivered a speech at the United Nations filled with his usual soaring rhetoric of global collectivism and the importance of “international norms.” But the president also displayed a shocking naivete about global affairs, religion, Islam — a Pollyannaish interpretation on the state of the world and America’s role in it.

Although Mr. Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize just eight months into office, the president made his annual trip to the ineffectual world council to deliver a call to war. “Ladies and gentlemen, we come together at a crossroads between war and peace, between disorder and integration, between fear and hope.”

Of course he waxed poetic about “climate change” and the promise of “the children,” but the president was forced to devote the bulk of his speech to what he called the “heart of darkness” and the “cancer of violent extremism.”

He said upon opening his remarks that “the shadow of world war that existed at the founding of this institution has been lifted.” He couldn’t be more wrong. A true man of peace worthy of the Nobel Prize, Pope Francis, said just the opposite this month in remarkably astute comments to commemorate the anniversary of World War I.

“Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction,” the pope said, summing up the conflicts in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Gaza and much of northern Africa, including Libya and Tunisia, not to mention Somalia.

America, the most powerful country in the world, purposely chose to be led by a fool...twice.

I wonder what historians will say when they look back at this period in time in the year 2214.

Arrogant people since the Garden, ave always sought to live with dignity and a sense of justice. They just refuse to acknowledge their own unrighteous thinking and criminality.

America cannot claim it is exceptional when the world sees we are led by a fool. His cheating party should have been prosecuted and its leaders jailed to show that we are a nation of laws, not of men.

He’s mentally ill. Arrogant/narcissistic personality disorder. He fits the profile perfectly.

While the Chinese robots bulldoze the former US National Archives, Chinese network-bots will be digitally expunging all the evidence of the existence of the USA.

Disagree completely.. those who control him know what they are doing but Obama is a complete idiot. He can’t carry on a conversation without someone writing it for him. He lacks common sense of any kind, definitely narcissistic but an idiot non the less.

.....the world sees we are led by a fool......his party should have been prosecuted and its leaders jailed to show that we are a nation of laws.......

Time to stop thinking of Democrat-ism as merely a "political party"......

It's the party of slavery, servitude, segregation, secularism, and sedition. Not just the party of scalawags like Aaron Burr, Boss Tweed, Richard J. Croker, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Chicago kingpin Obama.

A hot bed of conspiracy to undermine US ntl security----Kendall “Agent 202” Myers, the Carter-era State Department official recruited as a Cuban spy along with his wife.

The Democratic Party shows its true colors over and over again------as a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

==========================================================

Astute conservatives have known from the getgo--- Dummycrat-ism is not even a coherent party....just a collection of hyphenates, hacks, hooligans, schemers and govt looters.....aided and abetted by an expedient alliance of special interest groups who finance the schemers....all of them gorging at the public trough.

Did he not gratuitously criticize his own country, and also bring up the “racism” of Ferguson, MO?

He is an incompetent token; a hollow man reading scripts prepared by white liberals. He started out championing his tribe and opposing “gay marriage”; now his people live in misery while he bows to the gay lobby.

As far as blacks are concerned, he is a white liberal; they are the most disappointed group of his constituents...
