Obummer will be in mourning.

Hey - He started this whole mess. He thinks he can play international politics with a bunch of muslim loonies. I could say he lost control, but he never had control to begin with.

History will lay a lot of the unrest on his legacy.

We are seeing a replay of the Communist advances of the 1970s, under a post-1973, weakened Nixon and Ford administration and especially under Carter. Communists made tremendous advances in Angola and Mozambique, Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua, among other places. Radical Islam made its initial thrust to power in modern times, with the fall of the Shah and the rise of the Ayatollahs. The "Arab Spring" of 2011 is toppling autocratic and authoritarian regimes, that happen to be aligned with the U.S. (Egypt) or at least no longer actively hostile (Libya), with radical Islamist governments that will be militantly anti-American and anti-Western. The Israelis should be particularly threatened.

We have Jimmy Carter II in the White House, indeed worse, because at least the first Jimmy Carter was motivated by a misguided interpretation of his Christian faith. Obama is a "red diaper" baby, the son of a leftist mother and the grandson of leftist grandparents. His father was Muslim and of partial Arab ancestry. When you consider that his mentors from childhood onward were leftist radicals like Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and so forth, it is evident that Obama is capable of doing and more than willing to accomplish far more damage than Carter.

Where is our Reagan? Looking at the candidates (Bachmann, Romney, Perry, Cain, Paul, Santorum, Huntsmann, Gingrich, et. al.), none are worthy to shine the Great Communicator's shoes.
