Brett Stephens in his article, An Unteachable President in the Wall Street Journal, makes a serious attempt to construct a rational theory to explain why the president doubles down when hes losing and why the public cant get him to change. ......
Its a remarkable record of prediction. One hundred percent wrong. The professor president who loves to talk about teachable moments is himself unteachable. Why is that?
Why does he keep doing that? Stephens thinks its because Obama is the kind of man who believes the Cold War was won by peaceful protest, convinced that a strategy of retreat and accommodation, a bias against intervention, a preference for minimal responses is enlightened foreign policy, and most of all believes he is unalterably correct on the right side of history therefore could never be wrong.
Based on these assumptions naturally the president never learns for how can one improve upon perfection?
Stephens theory is marred only by the defect that it can just as well explain madness; ..... Elliot Abrams, listening to Obamas UN speech, was struck by the oddness of it; the utter separation between the words and actuality. He said president Obamas U.N. speech today is filled with nice lines that unfortunately bear no relationship to his seven years of foreign policy and in some cases, no relationship to reality.
Like many of Obamas speech it appeared to float in Eternity, detached from everything tangible. The speech came only hours after the provincial capital of Kunduz fell to the Taliban ......
It comes only days after Iraq opened its airspace to Russian aircraft; after the Pentagon finally found its missing handful of Syrian fighters trained under Obamas program who defected, together with their arms and ammunition, to al-Qaeda. .......

Obama's perfection relied completely on "The Narrative" perpetrated by msm. And a willing public that is just as happy to be lied to by their betters. As long as none of the 'unpleasantness' and 'inconveniences' happens around themselves, just like they can turn a blind eye/deaf ear to the real business of planned parenthood.
A stopped clock is right more often than the POTUS.
He is unteachable because the rabid insane dogma of Islam was drilled into his brain as a young boy. This is a disease from which one cannot recover.
The writer confuses me. How is Obama “losing” ?
Obama wants global government so he can have more power to hurt more people. That’s all. He’s an evil man.
If I understand correctly, he was first taught to be a Marxist before they added the moose limb stuff.
I am talking about his schooling in Indonesia as a Muslim.
I understand. His mom and granparents were Marxist before she moved him to Indonesia.
It’s not complicated: The Left lives in mass delusion. It scorns truth.
Just like in another Belmont Club article (sorry, no direct link), bureaucrats can push paper/pen and obfuscate for a while, but mathematics will catch up on ‘Obamacare’, ‘deficit’, (you name it)
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
For the love of God...
He’s a liberal. Stupid is what they do. It’s why they are liberal. There need not be a major psychoanalysis to see the obvious. Everything they do is based on unicorn logic.
Yes, but I am thinking his age 6-10 schooling in Indonesia trumps that. They are the very formative years where youths begin to understand more complex ideas and are also more impressionable, especially to rote dogmatic brainwashing, IMO.
Yeah Obama is the quintessential empty suit who can make words read off of a teleprompter sound beautiful, but they don’t represent anything real. It’s pure performance.
Chris Matthews: After 2017, Obama Will Continue His Work As A "Global Leader," "Man Of The World"
Because he thinks he's the smartest person on the planet when, in truth, he has no clue about the real world. I think his entire existence has been a "free skate" where everything was handed to him and he's never worked for anything. From what I see, he has the IQ of dust.
Everyone keeps trying to explain Obam’s actions.
“He’s a Moslem.”
“He’s a socialist.”
“He’s stupid.”
“He’s a mad genius.”
Obama is not a genius, but he’s not a complete idiot.
He is a man under orders. Someone is telling him what to do.
He does not feel the need to listen to the citizens of The United States.
What reward can they give him?
A pitiful retirement?
Whoever is ordering him around has promised some huge benefits.
One benefit is that they won’t release the facts about Libya and Obama’s part in that debacle.
Yes, he is responding to more than one boss.
But, we Americans are not his boss. We elected him, but so what? His real bosses offer more.
Who are his bosses?
Look to see who benefits from his actions.
0bama want to destroy Western Civilization.
That theory explains every fact in front of us, which makes it the lead theory to be disproved, IMHO.
want = wants
