The Fierce Moral Urgency of WTF

Sick of carving up my hands as I wrestled with those ubiquitous clamshell packages, I bought a super duper package opening tool which promises to make this chore easier, but I nicked my skin on the clamshell packaging as I struggled to get to it.

In that minor sense, my experience mirrored Obama's week, where everything domestic and international that he touched upon only further wounded him.

The Gallup and Rasmussen polls reflect only a continuing well-deserved slide in his and his party's standing among voters who have taken good measure of his consistently rotten performance.

Over There

As the Middle East explodes, with one country after another experiencing unrest and upheaval, the White House continues its policies of dithering and then siding with our enemies.

Caroline Glick zeroed in on the preposterous U.S stance on Israel in the UN this week. We vetoed a UN resolution criminalizing Israeli policy which allows Jews to build on their own property and then permitted US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice and Secretary of State Clinton to condemn their own veto.

As with any article which summarizes 0's pratfalls, blunders, and overall incompetence, this article is a little lengthy (and all such articles are doomed to grow in length).

It is a great source of one-liners, however, with some that have the potential to become classics:

it makes the Administration look like clowns. (The phrase "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants" comes to mind every time the Obama- Rice-Hillary combo is at bat

the White House could not even manage a timely evacuation of US citizens there and the White House website thinks the name of the country is "Lybia."

[For dealing with pirates] Perhaps -- just a suggestion now -- a firmer stance than catch and release or wait-until-they've-got-the-gun-pointed-at-the-yachtsman's-head-before-firing is called for. (Perhaps 0 wanted to recreate his magnificent, "The Navy seals waited for my order to shoot," moment)

Obama cast aside his usual strategy of dithering and voting present. With the world in flames, the economy tanking and his party's prospects shrinking, he did find time to speak out on behalf of the workers who abandoned their classrooms

And perhaps the best summary of life in the U.S. at this moment:

Unfortunately for the Obamas, we are less distracted by the shiny objects the White House dangles before us these days as the price of food and gas and electricity rise, as housing prices continue to tumble, state and local governments are awash in red ink, financing dries up, jobs disappear, and we find ourselves in growing danger from our enemies.

Along with all his other destructive-to-America decisions, was the new START treaty with Russia. We wring our hands over Obama disarming us, as all Democrat presidents are want to do, but we forget the most important and dangerous aspects of his presidency, the nuclear football. If we were attacked by Russian, Chinese, Iranian or North Korean missiles, would he retaliate? He is the only one who can but would he?

I think we all know the answer to that question. :(
I found the article intriguing by it’s use of sarcasm. I believe a bit of Steyn is rubbing off on the jouralists of this generation and it is for the better.

Probably not.

But he would use it as a indicator of success in reducing the attacking country's nuclear stockpile.

“”If we were attacked by Russian, Chinese, Iranian or North Korean missiles, “”

That would be UNACCEPTABLE. We can write his speeches for him. UNSUSTAINABLE doesn’t work in this instance so it will have to be UNACCEPTABLE.

:-) To whom would he boast? However, part of the Communists pep talk to new recruits is that being a traitor to this country will make them a hero to the revolution when they take over, so he would be a hero to his colleagues.
