In WWII, the strategic errors of Hitler, invading Russia when he could have waited until next spring; not completely mobilizing for war until 1941; over riding his general staff on not condensing lines of communication on the east front (Russia is like a big funnel); over riding his generals with his hold ground at all cost thinking; over riding his generals with his idea of where the Western allied invasion would occur and not mobilizing German reserves in time even after we invaded...

Massive blunders, but there are are some commonalities between Hitler and Obama. Both were little men who really never developed a big picture view of things before thrust into power. Both were elected based on a rejection of current policies, based on symbolism, without consideration of actual experience, education, the entourage they will bring with them, character or values... Both were supported by the media of their time. Both were/are highly arrogant and full of themselves, very popular at least for a little while after seizing power and when things began to appear like they were getting better. Both did not listen to those that actually had a clue, whom they doubted and questioned or even pushed out of their positions for daring to oppose or suggest an error the leaders thinking. Both surrounded themselves with a click of same minded political hacks,”yes men.” Both made massive strategic mistakes, the consequences of which had a delayed reaction.

Obama, like Hitler is surely an intelligent man, but he came to power with a twisted world view, little experience and education as it pertains to his role, and a big head that made him override the wisdom of some of the senior leaders in his government bureaucracy. Issues like Ukraine aren't new, this was a known threat as early as when Obama took office in 08. The Russians violating arms treaties was known for years before the media latched onto it at least a little bit. The spill over of ISIS into Iraq was known as a threat as early as when the Syrian conflict started... Westerners fighting in the Middle East on the side of Islamic radicals was known as far back as 2004 when we picked some of them off in Iraq! Obama simply “chose” to make decisions based on his ideology and what appeared as popular to the masses at the time. Let me use a phrase that Obama should be familiar with, “The chickens have come home to roost.” Let's hope that this dufus doesn't do to much more damage before he is gone. The media can then praise him for eternity as the first black President, school history books will be able to write about how he healed the world, and maybe we can get someone that can actually lead as a Commander in Chief.
