Look if you can’t screw up the economy in this country anymore, the least you can do is help out the one remaining Stalinist regime in the Americas.
That’s the take away I get from Obama’s phone and pen ploy to “normalize” relations with Cuba.
Since he’s failed at creating jobs here, maybe he’ll do a better job creating jobs in communist Cuba, an economy he better understands.
After all, Cuba has all those old cars, and Obama loves those Cash for Clunkers.
Or maybe it’s just this: Obama really hates Hillary so much that he’s willing to throw away the Cuban vote in South Florida to scuttle her chances of being president.
Pick a reason, any reason whatever, but you can be sure that Obama at his roots has some personal, political motive for “normalizing” relations with Cuba.
Getting past the fact that Obama enjoys normal relations with no one, it’s obvious the burning central issue of the day, the thing that could really change his presidency into one of only underwhelming failure and overweening weenyism is ending the embargo for the worst dictatorship in the Western Hemisphere.
Things will really start humming now for the president.
No, no, no: He needn’t worry about Iran getting the bomb, or the war in Ukraine, Russian bombers violating NATO airspace, ISIS, the Euro recession, wars and rumors of wars in Africa, the Middle East and the Urals.
Nope.
Remember when the calm, cool, collected candidate Obama reacted to the growing financial crisis in 2008 by saying the president needed to be able to do several things well all at once, while candidate John McCain panicked and ran back home to D.C.?
I would settle for a calm, cool president who could just do one (1) thing at a time well.
It’s come to that. I don’t just oppose this president’s ideology; I oppose his competency.
There could be things that the president and I could agree on. Of course I wouldn’t know—nor would you-- because most of the time I have no earthly idea—nor do you-- why he does what he does or what he means by doing them.
Why for example did he pitch global warming as a key campaign message during the 2014 mid-terms, or helpfully campaign for Democrat candidates who made it known they didn’t appreciate his help?
Is he that dumb? Or was it a clever ploy to cover up the last stupid thing he did?
There is a whole cottage industry devoted to deciphering the intended unintended consequences of the ideological incompetency and inconsistency that exudes from Obama.
Most of the time I’m left wondering if Obama genuinely follows a strategy that involves going from one gaffe to the next, from one poorly thought out decision to the next outrageous statement; from one ham-handed fumble to the next half-baked excuse on purpose.
And I suppose in this, upon reflection, I have gotten my wish.
There is one thing that president is doing really very well. He is making his party more irrelevant as he stumbles and fades at the finish line.
And I would hope that he continues to make the Democrats irrelevant by doing silly things like lifting an American embargo on Cuba, an idea no one understands, done in a way that will be most offensive to the most number of people.
It’s the epitome of Obama’s governing style: He’s doing something dumb and he looks dumb doing it, for reasons maybe even he doesn’t understand.
Understand?
Yeah, no one does really.
The GOPe backed McCain, knowing he would lose.
The GOP backed Romney, knowing he would lose.
The GOP will back another super RINO, knowing he will lose.
But look who WON because we lost?
The Chamber of Commerce
Big banks
American based multinational corporations

They want amnesty, and Obamacare, so they can shift all of the costs on the American taxpayer, while they reap all the profits.
Nice(deadly) game, if you have the money to play......Heads they win, tails they win.
Boehner & McConnell just sold America to the above-mentioned highest bidders.

WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
lol
Does Anyone Even Understand the President?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yep!
You can too.
Just read this article:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html
Then, don’t vote. I saw how the Republicans wanted Obamacare when none of them voted for it.
They just FUNDED Obamacare.
Fixed it for you.
The woman looks like a lizard.
It’s not just Obama. Anyone who, at this point expects anything intelligent to come from any democrat politician just hasn’t been paying enough attention to them.
I doubt he gets up every morning wondering what he can do to destroy America. Rather, he's internalized the deeply divisive politics of the day and is doing what he can realize his side's agenda and thwart the other side's.
Is it really so hard to understand? He's caught up in the game of politics and wants to rack up points for his side. He sees Bill Clinton as a DINO or LINO or PINO, and doesn't want to take Clinton's road, so he takes a more intransigent or implacable approach.
To be more specific.
You mean there is a fine line between malevolent and sociopath.
If it is an issue conservatives care about he will do the opposite, by executive "memo" no less. It's simply political math.
I know it seems that way, WHBates.
Eventually, there will be a step too far.
I think there is a very good chance SCOTUS guts Obamacare this term—and even some Democrat politicians aren’t interested in agreeing with the Clown on Cuba.
Maybe some of the dems that are up for re-election in 2016 will start openly disagreeing with him. After all, the Republicans main line this year was “so and so voted with Obama 98% of the time” ...etc. Many were mad at Reed cause he never brought anything up that they could vote against so just maybe....
i understand him fine.
I'd say he is a border line psychotic with more than a smidgen of malevolent fantasies. Between full moons, his open borders policy allows him to cross an unsecured border to enjoy the fullness of these malevolent fantasies. During full moons he is quite opposite and almost rational except for the twitch.
I hope you understand. Sometimes I find it difficult to express myself. /s
As Melvin Udall said, “I think of a man, and then I take away reason, and accountability”
I think the beginning "to understand" part about why Obama is doing what he is MUST start with the presumption that America, the Constitution, our heritage, and our Judeo-Christian foundation--the basis for our Rule of Law--is Obama's enemy. Only then do things start to make sense.
