I recall from my Psychology 101 class eons ago the concept of displaced aggression. If someone is feeling a threat that they can’t respond to directly, they may take it out on someone else or something totally unrelated. Maybe this is why the Bamster got busy trying to conduct a military raid on a Nevada cattle rancher. He wanted to feel powerful, but wanted an enemy that wouldn’t shoot back. (That didn’t work out as planned.)
As someone recently wrote on FR, Obama is “a Caesar at home, and a Chamberlain abroad”.
That's a good quote, but he's a coward everywhere.
