From where I sit I see many people underestimating President Obama because they cannot get their heads around who and what this man actually is and what he portends. Instead, historical or metaphoric analysis prevails making Obama like “Lincoln” or “Stalin,” like an "angel" or a "devil." Regardless of the comparisons evoked they all fail because Obama is none of these. He is "None of the above." He is not "That what came before." He is all of "What shall come after."
Politically and personally, Obama is a genetic sport, a Chimera; a now not-so-mythical being composed of multiple parts but functioning a a whole. Neither America nor the world has seen his like before. Attempts to analyze him that appeal to history fail because there is no historical precedent. That was, you will recall, part of his mystic allure. As a result many ascribe motives to the president that cannot be accurate; motives that run counter to the blunt evidence of the senses, to the maxim: “Watch what he does, not what he says.”

...all for sinister motivations.
I like much of what Vanderleun has on his site.
Oh, come on! He is simply voting present.
His advisers aren’t telling him what he wants to hear so he won’t listen to them. The obambats arrogance is only surpassed by his ignorance.
I think failure IS the plan.
On another thread I posted the opinion that his dithering on Afghanistan is caused by his reluctance to throw more lethal force against his fellow-muslims on the opposing side! I don’t think I’m too far off the trail!
Did you read up to this part:
“There are two benefits to Obama’s decision not to decide in Afghanistan:
1) It increases the instability of Pakistan and makes the likelihood of a radical Muslim coup in that country greater. This would, in one day, bring the control of nuclear weapons into radical Muslim hands. No waiting for Iran to get its act together. It also means that a vast sector of the world, from India to England falls under the spectre of a nuclear holocaust on a hair trigger. If you believe that great creation arises from great destruction, this is to your benefit.
2) It lowers the morale and effectiveness of the US military from the Joint Chiefs of Staff down to Private Grunt on patrol in Kandahar. Since the ultimate check to a politician’s power is always found in the military, anything that decreases that element is always to the politician’s benefit. If you can reduce the budget for the military at the same time you increase its responsibilities, so much the better.”
I didn’t, but it has been clear to me that he is an anti-American traitor for quite some time. Even complete idiots should begin to understand soon.

BUMP.
BUMP.
Thank you for the ping Jet Jaguar.
Maybe in the mind of Obama.
There is no plan that Zero would accept. It is all a ruse.
I wish. Clinton looks good right now compared to this turd. At least Clinton would lob a cruise missile every now and then.
The Resident is about Zero parts Lincoln and 99% this guy:
Ambrose Burnside
Famous for the style in which he wore his facial hair, Burnside took over command after the bloodbath at Antietam. He was indecisive and lacking confidence. This indecision and lack of confidence led to Union defeat at Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862. This battle was one the war’s biggest slaughters, and Burnside lost 13,353 men there.

An excellent analysis of this sociopath’s methods.
Perhaps you’re too young. He seems a lot more like Carter 2.0 to me.
This is similar to Kerry voting for the bill before he vfoted against it. Obama is a joke.....I guess your description....he is voting present....is an accurate statement.
