Lech is too kind.

It is not a matter of “Readiness”.
It is a matter of “evilness”.

Best line: “let Poland take over that leadership and we’d take care of the rest. I promise you, we’d know what to do.”

Is there any doubt? I’d bet Lech knows a Marxist Totalitarian when he sees one.

At the Hay Literary festival in Wales, author and PBS historian, Niall Ferguson, spent much of his time dissing Obama's "smart power" speech delivered in Cairo in 2009......describing it as "touchy feely nonsense"...

Ferguson has sent out warnings about Obama's failure to come to terms with what Ferguson sees as the potential rise of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the possible "restoration of the caliphate and the strict application of Sharia"........themes at the heart of this new book "Civilization: The West and the Rest"...............

Ferguson's standpoint is that Western dominance has been a progressive civilizing force.....his new book reinforces these arguments postulating that there were six killer "apps" which propelled the West to a position of predominance.

These were competition, science, property, modern science, consumption and work ethic, each with a dedicated chapter in the book.

Ferguson contrasts how China was the world's most advanced civilization in the 15th century but stagnated and was overtaken by Dutch mercantilism and the rise of capitalism employing the six "skills".

In his books, and on his compelling PBS series "Civilization," Ferguson lists "morality" as a strategic strength of Western Civilization. He points out the successful Chinese business city Wenzou also has 1,400 churches.

I think the same was true of Bill Clinton.

He calls Obama a “disappointment”. We call it a disaster.

It is extraordinary how observers even after all these years scrape the margins of reason to find excuses for the manifold failures of Obama. In this case Lech Walesa puts Obama's failures down to "unreadiness." This is understandable in a foreign observer and, as an observer living in Germany, I saw the same phenomenon here, Obama was regarded as a demigod and the enthusiasm for awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize was as widespread as it was ignorant.

We see the same phenomenon, however, in America by Americans concerning Obama's domestic failures. Time and again the establishment Republicans excuse his failures as matters of judgment rather than putting the blame where it belongs: Obama is a dangerous radical. He wants to transform America which means that he wants to undo our constitutional system, eliminate capitalism, and impose his version of social justice. Internationally, he is quite happy to have diminished America's role in the world which Walesa quite accurately describes. That is because Obama as a radical leftist, and anti-imperialist, a sympathizer of expansive Islam, who knows that America is the greatest obstacle to the worldwide spread of his radical ambitions.

He added, with tongue slightly in cheek: "If that's the case and if the U.S. doesn't really want to be a superpower anymore, I'd say let Poland take over that leadership and we'd take care of the rest. I promise you, we'd know what to do."

That's gotta leave a mark...

Being a foreigner, it is ok for Walesa to be surprised in Obama’s inability to lead.

For those of us who follow such things, there was no surprise at all. Obama had no leadership experience and the US press deliberately failed to expose Obama’s background.

Lord help us, I like everything Lech Walesa says, but he is clearly a globalist

Walesa also asserts that Obama "wasn't ready" to take on the task of leading the world's most dominant superpower.

And he never will be.

"But who knows? Maybe there is still a chance that he will suddenly snap out of it and change his way of thinking."

I don't think Obama will "snap out of it." Rather, he will make a last ditch effort to corral the world into the marxist paradise his ilk have been yammering about for the last century.

And he will promptly fall on his skinny half-white @$$.

Obama is not a world leader; he sits in a place where one expects to find a world leader but is nothing more than the court jester. I mean honest to God, when he speaks you can see he is and has been overwhelmed by the Presidency. No President ever has done the despicable things this guy has done. Lincoln freed the slaves he has created a whole new class of slaves and done think for a second it is not a very diverse group with all races included.

At the rate with which he matures and gains wisdom, he should be ready when he’s 137.

If Barry wasn’t thrust into positions of power by men behind the scenes today he would be a bathroom attendant.

World leader? I would not have hired Obama as a custodian, a clerk, or for any other role. He’s one of the few people for whom I approve of lifelong welfare benefits - it would be well worth it to pay him generously if he would never again attempt to do anything that affects our economy.
