A legacy of failure

Back during the 2008 presidential campaign a lot of conservatives predicted that if Obama were elected president his administration would amount to Jimmy Carter’s second term. Little did anyone at the time realize just how prescient those predictions turned out to be.

After all, it was Jimmy Carter that enabled Islamic fundamentalism to take root in Iran through his support in deposing Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It’s very likely true that the Shah was a son-of-a-gun that established SAVAK, a secret police force that brutally suppressed any political opposition against the regime. But in point of fact, he was our son-of-a-gun who supported progress and to a great degree, western ideals.

It was under the Shah’s rule that Iranian women gained the right to an education, a development that was much lamented by connoisseurs of fine Persian rugs, because young Iranian girls went to school instead of spending their days hand tying thousands of tiny knots to form exquisite and expensive carpets.

Of course, the witless Jimmy Carter was very concerned about human rights abuses in Iran and through his various machinations created the conditions under which Ayatollah Khomeini was able to seize power from the Shah, and thus replace the hated SAVAK with the current SAVAMA, an organization whose brutality far exceeds that of SAVAK.

Khomeini rewarded the hapless Carter by invading the US Embassy in Tehran and holding American Diplomats hostage for 444 days, releasing them on the very day Ronald Reagan was sworn is as President. There’s little reason to ask why, because we all know what Reagan would have done had those hostages not been released.

This puke makes me long for the competence of Carter and the integrity of Clinton...

Not this “failure” bs again. He’s been enormously successful at accomplishing his goal of destroying America. Get real for heaven sake.

These DNC-ass stooges, especially the last traitor, have reversed President Reagan-built American’s prosperity, sending us back to the stone ages!!!

I think the primary concern is the domestic economy.

Its like everything this administration touches turns to &$%%.

I think part of what we see is that Obama never had any management or executive experience of any kind before being elected president. He doesn’t know how to lead. He doesn’t know how to be a manager or function in an executive position.

“..He’s been enormously successful at accomplishing his goal of destroying America.”

It is amazing as we listen to the media continue to talk about Obama’s “failure” to be an American president. There is no contesting the reality of his tenure — just look at what he has done, and not done. Talk does not matter, only actions.

Since day one, he has done nothing but hurt this country, its people and its economy, its military, its allies, and embolden our enemies. Not opinion, it is fact — one has to only look at the record over the past six-plus years.

Failure?? No, he is still marching pretty much down the center line of his anti-American, anti-Constitutional agenda with the virtually total complicity of the Congress, the only body that can stop him. It really sucks.

Well with the news this morning Obama should be arrested for the traitor he is.
The so called Moderate rebels in Syria have joined with ISIS and Alqueda in Syria,they have agreed to not fight against each other,but to fight together to achieve Obamas goal all along to destroy the Assad Regime!
Now the pundits will decry this and say oh no what an Idiot Obama is we are now arming and assisting ISIS!
Folks this is what Benghazi was all about,shipping guns to the So Called rebels in Syria to depose Assad,what the Muslim Brotherhood,Isis,Alqueda and Obama wanted all along!

From the perspective of Clown Prince nobama and his communist minions, the fool has been a very successful president. Everything this dolt and his demented minions do is intentional...everything. There aren’t enough lampposts.
