drellberg says: “Even as a conservative, I regret that we show on this board such glee at his failures, because it just isn’t good for our country to have an empty suit in the White House. The US quickly becomes a laughingstock and door mat. I’m not saying that I favor any of his proposals, but I am saying that the Putins and Ahmadinjads and Bin Ladens of the world prey upon his weakness — to the detriment of everyone around the world.”

I understand and appreciate what you’re trying to say here. However, Obama is an Alinsky Marxist who is clearly out to destroy every tradition and institution that has made America great and in essence seeks to rebuild the country in his own radical image. Therefore, I view each of his failures to implement his radical agenda as a victory for liberty, capitalism, and the United States, to which I rejoice.
Now, I would love nothing more than to support Obama for standing up to our international enemies if he would ever do such a thing. Instead, he tries to make nice with them. Like you said, Obama is an empty suit, which makes him a tremendous danger to this country. Thus, a concerted effort must be made to neuter him and the damage he’s inflicting until we have a chance to throw him out at the ballot box in 2012.
DestroyLiberalism, We don’t truly disagree.
I will say, though, that I see this world devolving into chaos over these next few years. Israel will attack Iran, I am sure of it. Iran will respond, and in a big way. They want Armageddon and they are preparing for it.
I want to see Obama’s policies fall short just as much as the next guy. But I worry that he will have so little domestic and international credibility when the time comes for him to stand up and be counted that it won’t matter, and that the world will face grave damage. Maybe your assumption is that he won’t stand up in any event; but I think that when the chips are down even the Dems will rise to the occasion. But with Obama as President, to little avail.
I guess all that I’m saying is that his dramatically demonstrated incompetence is truly a mixed blessing.
