Obama’s tantrum a striking display of failed leadership
New York Post ^ | 15 Jun 2016 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 06/15/2016 5:48:58 AM PDT by relictele

If it is true that the best defense is a good offense, President Obama should be celebrating in the end zone now. Obviously furious over criticism that his anti-terror policies are weak and that the Orlando slaughter proves it, he went on a televised tirade to let America know he’s mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. He laid waste to a field of straw men, cable-TV pundits and the always-evil “partisan rhetoric,” by which he means anyone who disagrees with him.

I confess I take altogether too much pleasure in addressing Barrack Obama as The Smartest Negro in the World.

But not nearly as much as I will when President Trump begins to Make America Greater than She’s Ever Been Before. ;) I want to see Trump personally plant the American flag on Mars. He’s taught me to dream big.

As always, odungo is a pyromaniac in a field of strawmen. Pathetic...

If Immigration, Homeland security, and FBI was allowed to do their job by the Obama Admin, these people would not be in US. Responsibility for this attack lies squarely on Obama.

America saw Barack Obama at low tide yesterday, revealed as brimming with fury and bankrupt of ideas and even sympathy for the dead. The man who had an answer for everything and a solution to nothing is now also out of excuses.

And...

Jimmy Carter’s infamous “malaise” speech in 1979 was inspirational by comparison. Carter focused on a “crisis of confidence in the future” while Obama scolded the country for losing confidence in him. Carter tried to lift up America, Obama came to put it down.

He meant his attacks to be especially vicious, but the spectacle was more sad than provocative. The president needs a rest from the job as much as we need a new president.

A rest from the job? He's been on vacation for seven years; except for when he's focusing like a laser on jobs... the economy... infrastructure... LGBT issues... and telephoning every out-of-the-closet homo and lesbian and every put-upon person from Sandra Fluke to Skip Gates.

I think your average American right now could give a damn about muzzie-Americans, other than wondering why the hell these people are even here. If the Dems want to court the muzzie vote good for them. It won't be enough to get Her Heinous elected.

It looks like this race is going to be more Trump vs. odungo than Trump vs. Clinton. She's going to be an after-thought.

and don’t forget....... the blow that literally drew blood and produced the anger was the line telling him to resign

one doesn’t do that to any president and especially not the black apostate Barack Obama

Trump spox on FoxBiz just now:

“If we’re not going to let people under FBI investigation buy guns, perhaps we shouldn’t let them run for President either.”

BRILLIANT!!!

...because most of them are working-class people who play by the rules and don’t demand special favors or government handouts, they’re not important in Washington.

So they found an outsider they believe will speak for them and fight for them. That’s why every punch Trump threw at the GOP establishment during the primaries, and every punch he throws at Clinton and Obama now, brings him more support and more loyalty.

It’s also why Trump is going to keep swinging all the way to November. It’s not elegant or pretty — in fact, it’s often coarse and vulgar. But it’s clearly getting under the president’s very thin skin, and that’s why it won’t stop.

Obama had better get used to it. Finally, he may have met his match.

Excellent editorial!

They say long-distance psychoanalysis is risky and often inaccurate but not so in this case

I think you gave a very good analysis.

Throw in her husband and the stage is going to get crowded with alpha males competing for attention.

Obama an alpha male? Now that's LOL funny!

Best written analysis I’ve read on B-HO here in a long time. It’s precisely what I’ve believed for years - and i have articulated this in bits and pieces, here and there, but you wrapped it all up beautifully.

Explain his approval rating then.

Polls can be made to say whatever is desired.
