David Remnick, Obama biographer, editor of the New Yorker, and apologist for Obama, admitted on national TV that President Obama is disappointed and frustrated with the world. His disjointed soliloquy suffers from a measure of Obama sans-teleprompter incoherence, but by applying your own creative license you can sense what he is trying to say.
"The profile [of President Obama] that I published in the New Yorker was somebody that eerily, eerily seemed to be claiming himself--it was a sense of not giving up, but of deep frustration--that was the profile that I published in the New Yorker, somebody frustrated and disappointed. And that's what's frustrating to me sometimes about Obama is that the world seems to disappoint him. Republicans disappoint him, Bashar al-Assad disappoints him, Putin as well. And the fighting spirit sometimes is lacking in the performative aspects of the presidency.""Do I think that at the end of eight years this will go down as a terrible presidency? I don't. You do. I don't. I think an enormous amount has been achieved."
We are left with the assumption that Mr. Remnick either functions much better as an editor or he is smart enough to hire competent people; since, he portrays himself well as both an ideologue and a useful idiot. Ideologues range throughout the spectrum of political and philosophical ideas, but the term useful idiot is a Leftist term coined by Stalin. He used it to describe the fanatics who were so resolute in their commitment to the Communist ideology, they refused to see the inherent evil within Stalin's totalitarian Regime. These loyalists were often so committed to the cause they sometimes allowed their fanaticism and naiveté to prescribe their own demise. Stalin, normally a glum and sour man, laughed and found humor in the naive assumptions of his useful idiots; since, they considered themselves important and indispensable components of the regime. To Stalin, his useful idiots were contemptible, disposable, and insignificant, but they were useful. Stalin considered many American journalists and Socialists to be among his useful idiots. They were invaluable to his cause and of greater utility than his homegrown idiots, but they were still disposable and insignificant, merely useful idiots.
Lest we forget, on September 11, 2012, America was attacked by radical Islamists once again. Four Americans were killed, including our ambassador to Libya.
Thus began the Obama/Clinton soliloquy, a story destined to become enshrined in America's history, legend, and shame. A story with a compelling intensity as powerful as Macbeth's speech at Dunsinane.
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
Although Obama and Clinton lack the intellect and poetic speech of Shakespeare, or at least their speech writers suffer the deficit; our dubious diplomats willingly expressed the insignificance of human life, at least from the standpoint of a member of the elite ruling class directing useful idiots.
The lives of an ambassador and three other Americans seemed a tragedy, but what should we expect after said video criticized the Muslim faith, for there is the true tragedy, according to Obama. Blame for the tragedy is to be laid at the feet of the videographer; he precipitated a protest that escalated out of control.
Remember, Macbeth was a king, a king beset with an ever growing madness. His schemes become more difficult and fate seems to work against him.
Now in hindsight, only our president, Barack Hussein Obama and secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton were so incensed over the video, they felt compelled to create an imaginary protest and escalate the protest to the equivalency of terror. What the videographer lacked in creativity and imagination was to be co-opted by our dynamic duo. Since no one in the Muslim World knew the video existed, a fact attributed to the inferior quality of the video and the amateurish cinematic direction of the videographer, our president rushed forward to take on the perceived injustices of the video. Citing the freedoms available by the First Amendment, our president appears to have taken personal umbrage of both the video and our freedom to criticize; since, the attack would have never happened if we were not allowed to criticize this great religion. Secretary Clinton made a personal promise to the parents of the slain that the film maker would be imprisoned. Hunting and killing the terrorists, who committed the crime seems to have never been a serious consideration.

I think the feeling is mutual.
Although, personally, I'm not disappointed or frustrated with Obama. Or surprised. I knew what the country was in for on Day One of the occupation.
That's helpful.
Excellent prose exhibited here.
These clowns make me more angry by the day. Useful idiots now are an army here starting with the press and the 5th column known as the democrat party. Truth maybe its own defense according to a supreme court justice long ago, but it seems that lies today take on a life of their own and seem wrapped in armor. I hope we can pierce that shield and slay those lies thereby freeing the country from a shroud over freedom and liberty. I just pray this does not become Casey at the Bat because there will be no joy in mudville unless the evil ones are unmasked and drug through hell.
I've said from the beginning that obammy thought he could talk anyone into anything. Finding out you are not the golden child is hard, I suppose.
Obama and Clinton as Lord and Lady Macbeth? Then I hope we are at this point in the tale:
“That lies like truth: ‘Fear not, till Birnam wood
Do come to Dunsinane:’ and now a wood
Comes toward Dunsinane. Arm, arm, and out!”
