All these things are "distractions" for commiebama because all he wants to do is continue in campaign mode, seeing and being seen by his "people".

He's a joke, and does not have an inkling to what he should be doing other than being a figurehead that makes teleprompter speeches.

To distract us what what he doesn't know how to to", he just does a lot more of what he does know how to do...run his mouth. He gets off on telling all of us what our national daily "crisis" is - as if we don't have the daily "news" on our TV too.

Commiebama is the biggest fraud to ever hit the government...I didn't think anyone could beat bill clinton, but clinton is a piker compared to commiebama.

But, the water is boiling, and and it's rising. People are fed up with this rape of our national sovereignty and trashing of the Constitution. The leftist media is trying to discredit and ridicule the upcomeing Tea Parties, but only because they're afraid of them. The left doesn't like it when we use THEIR tactics and take to the streets.

But, the Tea Parties are yet another "distraction" to the cowtowing bow boy in the White House. He's rather kiss the ass ring of some muslim potentate than to make sure our kids and future generations live free in the USA.

Why isn't someone sueing him for breach of his oath to protect and defend the Constitution? If he breaks that oath, isn't that impeachable? SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING...this is the only country we have and there is no place left to go.

I thought Obama could handle more than one thing at a time...

Steyn nails it as usual.

We have no leadership at the top, we have the Community Organizer-in-Chief, a polished, glib-talking, metrosexual shell of a man who says only what his Teleprompter displays and does only what his marxist masters tell him to do.

Despite his flaws, do you think Juan McCain would deal differently with these “distractions” that are keeping the COIC from destroying what is left of our country?

[SeminoleSoldier]

Imagine - the president being sidetracked by foreign policy and national security issues when he’s trying to focus on the real issues of socialized medicine and a fascist economy. So sad.

Liberals want to bring back the "law of the jungle" both overseas and at home. We're reliving the lawless 60s big time. And what if all of it is true? As Mark Steyn says, its just a "distraction" from their plans to have the federal government take care of all of us from the cradle to the grave. That's important than ensuring American national security in a dangerous world.

Excellent column as usual, but with one tiny mistake. Fifty years ago Somalia wasn’t two colonies but three—there was also a French Somaliland (now called Djibouti). The French portion had the good sense not to join with the Italian portion. The British portion didn’t—a few years ago they tried declaring their independence but I don’t think anyone has recognized them.

Will Obama declare a “Global War on Distractions”?

[The Great RJ]

Obama can't bring himself to even mount a military rescue effort to free the hostage, let alone use military force to wipe out these pirates. His response to this crisis is to bring in an FBI negotiator to deal with these thugs who do not accept Western concepts and have nothing to lose. What would he do to thwart a a 9-11 sized attack on the US...convene a grand jury, issue indictments and read the terrorists their Miranda rights? Certainly if we were attacked again on US soil his first response, after getting his speech to the American loaded in the teleprompter, would be to call the UN.

I’d love to know what annoying distraction made Clinton cackle so heartily, while discussing pirates taking an American hostage.

Back to the Dark Ages.

[Signalman]

These distractions are keeping Obama from completing his ultimate goal, turning the U.S. into a Marxist state.

[Mamzelle]

The power of MEMES...”hope” and “change” got us Obama, “distraction”... “Inherited” a word or phrase going viral, assuming the power of an incantation.

"As my colleague Andrew McCarthy wrote, “Civilization is not an evolution of mankind but the imposition of human good on human evil. It is not a historical inevitability. It is a battle that has to be fought every day, because evil doesn’t recede willingly before the wheels of progress.”

He can't just reason with the pirates, laying on some of that smooth Harvard-Alinskyite charm with heavy doses of Athena pheromone mojo cologne, as he calmly explains the Dag Hammarskjöld/Hans Kelsen neo-Kantian theories of international cooperation?

Maybe he could convene a model UN or in the spirit of the United Nations, he could offer the pirates international exchange student scholarships so they can read Richard Hofstadter's The Paranoid Style in American Politics, Saul Alinsky, Marcuse, Erich Fromm, and the other cool liberal stuff Obama "studied" at Columbia.

Good seminar topic for Columbia:
Obama, Kant, and the Pirates: Models for International Cooperation.

The Kantian Project in Modern International Legal Theory

Kant, The Republican Peace, and Moral Guidance in International Law

Now I’m really depressed.

[FightThePower!]

Like I said in another thread. Western civilization no longer has the will to defend itself. Yes, we are fighting two wars, but are we fighting those wars to win as quickly as possible? How is it possible that it has taken longer to win in Iraq than to win WWII?

Now we can’t even blow a pirate ship.

The Somalis were among the first to test Clinotn's mettle.

He failed.
