There is a question I keep asking myself is Barack Obama to blame for failing on virtually every front imaginable? I want the answer to be in the negative so badly that I fear I may be shutting out an ugly reality. Domestically and internationally, the US Presidents policies have been a mix of brilliance and failure.
On foreign policy I had hoped for so much from him. After an inarticulate fool such as George W. Bush, the world deserved something special from America. At the time of his election Obama was the answer most of us were seeking.....
It is hard to avoid the assessment, however, that too many of the carefully crafted words were hollow. Obama squandered the capacity to inspire and revealed to all of us that his talk was cheap. When the crunch came he just couldnt walk the walk.
The world is a far more dangerous place after six years of Obama as President. That conclusion is pretty damning.....
Syria and Iraq are even worse examples of Obamas foreign follies.....
Across the border in Iraq, it took an age for real American aid to reach the Kurds and the Yazidis. Why was coming to their assistance such a difficult decision? When innocents are being raped and slaughtered, should pandering to the delicate sensitivities of the Turks, or a corrupt government in Baghdad, merit any consideration at all?
.....
The man who came to office on the back of Yes we can may leave Washington with the historical judgment We could have, but we didnt!

Was going to read the entire article but the comment on Bush put that to rest.
He’s a UNIVERSAL failure.
"Obama could be a Moslem Indonesian enemy of America
and would still bow before him as our King
because he made US , our families and our Staff... EXEMPT
for all Laws and ObamaCARE.
Anyone questioning our destruction of the Constitution
had better get ready for an IRS audit."
A lot of leftie journalists will have this “aha!” moment in the next few months. Barack the First is a lame duck failure, and there is nothing he could accomplish through lawful means over the next two years. It can’t hurt to finally criticize the loser in our White House.
It helps for the future though. It’s the journalists’ chance to regain some credibility. “See, I can criticize both sides. Pay no attention to the fact that I start criticizing conservatives before they declare as candidates and start criticizing liberals after their last election. I’m still even-handed, sort of. That means you can trust me for the next election.”
Whadya expect from a cultural alien?
... a kenyan/ indonesian who famed his reality in turd world terms?
Yes, and Hillary Clinton officially admitted to that in her campaign video when she said that we need to get America back on the right track.....
Another rube self-identifies.
America’s failure IS Obama’s success.
Replace “world” with “every” and it’s totally fixed.
GOPe leadership in Congress is as inept as wet pasta..
Yeah that inarticulate fool did a whole lot better than wonderboy. If wonderboy had just kept the troops in in Iraq and left his hand off the Arab Spring. Oh, also there is no excuse for the radical changes in the ROI in Afghanistan and announcing the unconditional end to the American help there.
I was going through some old e-mails and found this in a June of 2011 posting. The original is quite long so I only took the first quarter of it (remember this was in June of 2011 and it has been downhill ever since). If I had his e-mail address I would send the entire thing to the idiot that wrote this article.
If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?
If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who’s side he was on?
If George Bush had pronounced the Marine “Corps” like Marine “Corpse” over and over again in a speech to the Marine Corps would you think him an idiot?
If George W. Bush had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one company had an accident would you have agreed?
If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render those same 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in New York City, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given England’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this
Embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
Our Community Organizer-In-Chief has openly,and defiantly,tipped that promise on its head.
Another victim of our “Mirror of Erised” president.
If 0bama was the answer you were sure as hell asking the wrong question!
Yep. Ignorance on display. Nothing he could say after that remark would interest me.
BTW, there’s an article at American Thinker today by Jack Cashill titled “What the Unearthed 1995 Video Tells Us about Obama” that further reinforces the fact that Obama is a golden tongued reader, but an incoherent babbler off-TelePrompter.
