From the annals of either (take your pick) utter tomfoolery or bold faced lies comes this drivel from the official White House spokesmouth: “Psaki says Afghanistan evacuation cannot be called ‘anything but a success.’”
RD™ conducts a death-defying leap from reality
That certainly begs the question of what failure would look like to these jackals, but decorum demands that I respectfully decline to inquire. Instead let’s focus on what Joey and P-saky define as success:
The Biden administration’s attempt to negotiate with the Taliban to help get our people out of Afghanistan safely has resulted in yet another embarrassing defeat.
After sending CIA director William Burns to secretly meet with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar in Kabul to ask him to extend the August 31 deadline for U.S. troops to airlift American citizens and Afghans out of the country, the deadline remains the same—and Taliban claims another victory over the United States. The plan to have U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by August 31 has been approved by Joe Biden. - PJMedia
Barack Hussein Obama has essentially achieved his purpose of fundamentally transforming America into the paper tiger dream of his and his anti-colonialist African father.

“Barack Obama has made it clear that he thinks the world would be a better and more peaceful place if the United States were too weak to affect the course of events…(he) has slashed missile defense, dramatically reduced investment in future military technologies, and broken promises to our allies. In addition, Obama is transforming our military into a politically correct force that no one will want to join.” – Jed Babbin
It’s a shame we didn’t think to classify “getting our citizens/allies/records and weapons out of Afghanistan ahead of the inevitable Taliban takeover” as infrastructure that both parties could have rallied around. Clearly a more shovel-ready project on earth has never existed. Which is why our inept withdrawal is even more mind-numbingly incomprehensible than usual.

I doubt if he knows who his father was.
I forced myself to read that execrable book many years ago.
It was harder to read than Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.
His father was his mentor in Hawaii. His name has slipped my mind right now but some of you know who I mean.

I agree completely with your assessment of the book. The word choices were often head-scratching, and the syntax was tortured. Among the most over-rated books I have ever come across.
My wife would hear me (from another room even) sighing as I tried to read that one. It seemed like such a painful waste of time to spend reading such a self-serving hagiography.
On the other hand, reading “Rules For Radicals” was quite different, since it wasn’t a self-serving paper-based blather-fest.
“Rules For Radicals” is important, because it is a Bible to the Left, and formally codifies the “Never let a crisis go to waste” mentality, as well as the hammer-driven perspective that any politically expedient end justifies any and all means.
It took me a long time to read it, as I became quite angry doing so and had to put the book down, but it was so powerful a description of what real Americans are up against, I resolved to record myself reading it and turn it into an audiobook I could distribute to friends who might not have the time to read it, but could listen to on their way to and from work.
I couldn’t do it and had to give up.
One of the keys to being able to listen to an audiobook presenting a point is the audible enthusiasm of the dictating person in conveying the information, and...I could not do it. No matter how I tried, I could not keep the edge and anger out of my voice...and had to give up.
“Rules For Radicals” is disgusting reading, but important. “Dreams From My Father” is disgusting, banal, and utterly unimportant since it is only a vehicle for Democratic money laundering and self-serving to boot. And that is it.
To the extent that it was Obama who made the military "woke" it was a very bad thing and we are suffering the consequences. But how much of that "fundamental transformation" of America was just campaign rhetoric? Obama may have thought that just electing him was the fundamental transformation. He was that vain.
Also, the whole Democratic Party is where Biden, Pelosi and Schumer are now. It didn't take a foreign guy with a foreign name and a foreign religion or ideology to make the party what it is today. They have been on the road to where they are now for fifty years. Obama was more of a symbol of that then its creator or mastermind.
Was the phrase, fundamentally transforming America..just a catchy sounding phrase and nothing more.
Sort of like the line by ex-CIA agent daddy bush used.
