Is Congress as impotent as they appear? Do we really let our entire foreign policy rest solely with one man?
What we seem to have is a political class that is destitute of the basic requirement for the leadership of a global power, a realistic understanding of the dynamics of power and a total lack of seriousness about even there direct class interests. The frivolity, shallowness, fatuousness and weakness of the leadership class is really frightening. The Islmacist eruption and the foolishness of the Arab Spring, the simultaneous reemergence of Russia as an adversarial power and China as as emerging full fledged peer competitor, the growing immigration stampede crisis on the southern border all are happening at once. The leadership of our country is on the one hand sleepily complaisant about foreign challenges and at the same time engaged in being willing to risk the basic security of the nation's frontiers to try and score some petty partisan advantage. This sort of disconnected complaisantly arrogant and self indulgent behavior betokens a real existential crisis for this country.
When America perceives him to be a black Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien, yes. Problem is, he's really an agent of the Middle East. Surprise!!
