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. .......

Right on the money. He’s stupid.
Exactly. Everything described in the article makes perfect sense from the standpoint of a radical Moslem in the WH
To Carlos, (my reply is in the #1 post)
All it needs/needed, is ONE major newsman/woman doing his/her job at (from) the beginning, and ONE managing editor not afraid. The whole msm failed American people. Not only failed, they are the biggest perpetrators of his lies.
I dunno. Yes, a GOP Congress was elected. However, for the most part, Obama has been running rings around Congress. Without an errant Federal judge or two, his control would be complete. I’d like to think things will change once Bohener is gone, but I’m not that optimistic anymore.
....”That is the most comprehensive description and summation that Ive heard of 0blama, to date......Chilling, to say the least”.....
I thought so as well....he didn’t skip a beat Imo.
When a man persistently acts in ways that go against the goals you assume he has, one possibility is that he's either stupid or crazy.
However, another possibility may be that your assumptions as to his REAL goals is incorrect. You should then ask yourself "What goals would his actions be consistent with?"
Our media is no better then Russia's Imo...perhaps worse because at least their people know who actually controls it. Here it's looking like as many foreign agents are running ours as well as Obama.
They’re having major issues with the UN Peace Keepers......so reforms are apparently part of the deals .......Link for information below.
As for Obama’s role...he’s always made it clear he’s all about “The World” entire ...the USA is simply his means to act on his world agenda.....he long ago abandoned the office of our Pres. if indeed he ever really took it...rather the power of it he’s used and abused by strong arming nations to do his bidding, and elevating himself as the “Hero figure” he believes himself to be......in total denial of the reality.
Look back to Obama's early days. (See my FR home page for more details). Obama's entrance into Harvard law was greased by the intervention of none other than Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. See the following youtube where New York power broker Percy Sutton talks about being approached by Prince Talal's emissary, Khalid Al-Mansour:
They are only disasters to you and me. To the Democrats, anything which increases their power and wealth is a victory, regardless of side effects on you and me.
I read it somewhere that UN peacekeeping force from Western countries had troubles locally, until they (higher ups) replaced it with no-nonsense (i.e. non-PC) Pakistani troops.
Then “local” troubles disappeared, reemerged to the new locations of where those European troops redeployed.
In my radical view, there is really no point for Obama to expand or contribute more US effort to UN peacekeeping forces. They don’t do squat, and Obama’s surrendering the troop control to some world body.
I would normally agree except I believe something more sinister is planned for the UN Peace Keepers as they “evolve” and leaders, like Obama with their twisted thinking and agendas, begin to line things up for World Governance. It won't be about “Peace” keeping...it'll be complete “Control”.
Political writing in our time consists almost entirely of prefabricated phrases bolted together like the pieces of a child's Meccano set. It is the unavoidable result of self-censorship. To write in plain, vigorous language one has to think fearlessly, and if one thinks fearlessly one cannot be politically orthodox.
OR MAYBE - NOT wanting to postulate beyond necessity - Obama WANTS us to lose...
I believe he basically was raised by weak guilty white women who never said “NO” to him and has never progressed beyond the emotional maturity of a spoiled indulged lazy narcissistic 14 yr old
I also believe politicsand golf is his big escape from his wife and mother in law who have little to no respect for him, and are similarly self centered and self indulgent narcissists
No wonder the kids hardly ever smile
Thank you for the link. That was some deep thoughts there.
“Obama wants to destroy Western Civilization”. Yes. Which means he has to destroy the pillar of Western Civ. which is Christianity which gave us The Age of Reason and Modern Science (ability to think in profound, abstract ways).
That Christian Worldview is being demeaned and destroyed-—and replaced by a satanic worldview where Evil is Good and Good is Evil-—in Common Core and every institution-—even inside most “Christian” churches.
The Marxists/sodomites have infiltrated all institutions to covert and groom the children for the NWO.
Possibly the final insult to our Republic is with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, an avowed Marxist Communist, to the Presidency of the united States a significant chapter in American History finally closed. Our sixty year long Cold War with Communism was over and the Communists won the war.
OBAMA IS OUT OF HIS MIND....
