After many a disappointment with someone, and especially after a disaster, we may be able to look back at numerous clues that should have warned us that the person we trusted did not deserve our trust.
When that person is the President of the United States, the potential for disaster is virtually unlimited.
Many people are rightly worried about what this administration's reckless spending will do to the economy in our time and to our children and grandchildren, to whom a staggering national debt will be passed on. But if the worst that Barack Obama does is ruin the economy, I will breathe a sigh of relief.
He is heading this country toward disaster on many fronts, including a nuclear Iran, which has every prospect of being an irretrievable disaster of almost unimaginable magnitude. We cannot put that genie back in the bottle-- and neither can generations yet unborn. They may yet curse us all for leaving them hostages to nuclear terror.
Conceivably, Israel can spare us that fate by taking out the Iranian nuclear facilities, instead of relying on Obama's ability to talk the Iranians out of going nuclear.
What the Israelis cannot spare us, however, are our own internal problems, of which the current flap over President Obama's injecting himself into a local police issue is just a small sign of a very big danger.

This is not the first betrayal of his ignorance by Obama, nor the first overlooked by the media. Moreover, ignorance by itself is not nearly as bad as charging full steam ahead, pretending to know. Barack Obama is doing that on a lot of issues, not just history or a local police incident in Massachusetts.
While the mainstream media in America will never call him on this, these repeated demonstrations of his amateurism and immaturity will not go unnoticed by this country's enemies around the world. And it is the American people who will pay the price."
‘”Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.” In reality, it was more than a year after Japanese officials surrendered on the battleship Missouri before Hirohito met General Douglas MacArthur for the first time. ‘
And then Mac stayed in Japan instead of coming home to one of the 57 states - oops, 55, alaska and Hawaii weren’t states yet.
I’d vote for Thomas Sowell for POTUS anytime.
I’d vote to send the Obamaloon back to ACORN (in Cuba) anytime.
What does he mean looking back we might see the clues? The first time he went before the cameras I pegged him as a used car salesman. The problem here is that he’s just the puppet. The power behind all this destruction is who we should really be frightened of.

‘”Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”
When I first heard this statement from the potus, it didn’t sound right- but I’m too young to have remembered V-J Day personally and figured the papers have fact checkers.
Now its cleared up, Hirohito wasn’t on the Missouri just as I had previously assumed.
can be the trigger for a new Dark Age lasting a thousand years!
Those are among the saddest words on American politics I have ever read.
“can be the trigger for a new Dark Age lasting a thousand years!”
Relax...with double-digit unemployment, double-digit interest rates & double-digit inflation by 2012, Hussein will be just another Jimmy Carter...”one & done!” Everyone just has to prepare themselves for the "storm" in the meantime. And the Gelding Old Party needs to get a testicle & spine implant by next year so they can begin to retake the Majority in the House and/or Senate in 2010.
Who are the people that comprise that actual power behind him?
American citizens should have been able to use their reasoning powers in 2007-2008 to realize that likely fact, leading them to seriously question just who and what were the powers behind the image being presented to them as a potential leader.
"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Benjamin Disraeli
It’s been speculated on who has been grooming him since his college days but who knows. Those records have been put in lock down. Odd how he went from a virtual unknown to POTUS in a matter of months.
This guy is dead on in so many different ways and topics. Why can't we have some one like this run for president? A scholar who actually gets it, much like VDH.
jazusamo is the keeper of the Thomas Sowell ping list.
