The lunatic who thinks he's Barack Obama
Asia Times Onine ^ | 30 Nov 2010 | Spengler

Posted on 11/29/2010 4:00:24 AM PST by Palter

Napoleon was a lunatic who thought he was Napoleon, and the joke applies to the 44th United States president with a vengeance. What doesn't the president know, and when didn't he know it? American foreign policy turned delusional when Barack Obama took office, and the latest batch of leaks suggest that the main source of the delusion is sitting in the Oval Office.

From the first batch of headlines there is little in WikiLeaks' 250,000 classified diplomatic cables that a curious surfer would not have known from the Internet. We are shocked - shocked - to discover that the Arab Gulf states favor an invasion of Iran; that members of the Saudi royal family fund terrorism; that Pakistan might sell nuclear material to malefactors; that Saudi Arabia will try to acquire nuclear weapons if Iran does; that Israel has been itching for an air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities; that the Russian government makes use of the Russian mob; that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan tilts towards radical Islam; or that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi mixes politics and business.

American career diplomats have been telling their masters in the Obama administration that every theater of American policy is in full-blown rout, forwarding to Washington the growing alarm of foreign leaders. In April 2008, for example, Saudi Arabia's envoy to the US Adel al-Jubeir told General David Petraeus that King Abdullah wanted the US "to cut off the head of the [Iranian] snake" and "recalled the king's frequent exhortations to the US to attack Iran and so put an end to its nuclear weapons program".

Afghani President Hamid Karzai warned the US that Pakistan was forcing Taliban militants to keep fighting rather than accept his peace offers. Pakistani government officials, other cables warn, might sell nuclear material to terrorists.

I really hope Obama reads this to all in his next staff meeting. I’ll bet his upper lip quivers(once the stitches come out)

This is an important article. I wonder if the NY Slimes or Washington Compost will rise to 1/10th of this level of journalistic analysis.

Obama is a one-worlder. So Wikileaks accelerates the movement towards a one-world government and redistribution of wealth.

Who will protect us against Islam and Asian/African criminals? The one-world elites will be protected (Clinton, Bush, Gates, Buffett, etc). Everyone else should arm themselves and prepare for the onslaught.

Ouch, that would leave a mark if 0bambi were sensitive to criticism. If anything, he will probably blay the Tea Paert or Bush for this “attack”. There has got to be a means of removing a President, if he is insane, incompetent or unable to perform his duties, without impeachment.

I'll bet the doctor that treated Obama was a democrat. A good conservative republican doctor would have sewed his lips together. After all, "Loose lips..."

Obama is beyond reality; he has become the lunatic who thinks that he is Barack Obama.


Now that is a line that is worth remembering!

I have never thought of Obambie being much of an intelligent guy, but more of a Chicago union thug.
He is merely a Howdy Doody, in the hands of very evil men.
The magic teleprompter says it all.

Obama: What doesn’t he know, and when didn’t he know it?

I would be proud of that bumper sticker.
