Obama’s Never-Ending Lecture Tour
American Interest ^ | 11/18/16

Posted on 11/18/2016 5:31:34 AM PST by pabianice

President Obama, who has done less for Europe than any American President since Calvin Coolidge, cannot stop telling Europeans what to do. As Obama sets out on his final European tour as President, with his political party back home in a state of near collapse, and with Putin inflicting yet another painful humiliation on the least successful American President in the history of the modern Middle East, nothing seems able to shake his serene confidence that he knows more than other people, sees farther than they do, and that other people are eager to gather up his pearls of insight...

Not everything Obama is recommending to Europe is bad, but his words no longer have a significant impact from a continent battered first by his failures in foreign policy and now by the collapse of his legacy at home. Obama will be remembered by historians as the man who turned over the White House to Donald Trump, the man who let Putin unleash the forces of Hell in Syria and Ukraine, and the man who honored European values but made the world steadily less safe for them. That Putin took the occasion of Obama’s final tour to open a wide new air offensive in Syria and withdraw from the ICC even as his allies celebrated victories in Estonia, Moldova and Bulgaria only underlines what a foreign policy disaster the 44th President has been...

I figgure Hussein is out on the hustings while people still have to hear him out. Shortly most will be tuning him out.

this is the second article today where AMERICA (thru it's proxy obama) is getting the blame for what is occurring in Europe. EUROPEs leaderships hands aren't not clean either and in fact they are the ones who are continuing to say "Refugees Welcome! Come on in!"

Hopefully they're not going to expect our sons to bail them out, yet again!

I agree with Russia’s opinion:

the motive for this international speaking tour is to gin up opposition to Trump.

My radio this morning kept telling me that Obama is in Europe talking with Merkel and other leaders “trying to smooth concerns” over Trump’s election.

There, there, there you delicate little leaders of European countries. Don’t cry. Obama is here. Obama will make you feel better. The magic man will smooth all your concerns.

Just gag me.

And everyone will be polite....take their pictures....and in about 60 days...no one will have to put up with him.

The worst 8 years in the life of the United States. It was a hard lesson.

I have felt for decades that America’s entry in WWI was probably unwise. It wasn’t our fight.

WWII is more straight forward. Japan attacked us and Hitler declared war on us. So we were justified in fighting across the Pacific and the Atlantic.

But I would be hard-pressed to justify future American fighting in Europe. If the Muslims get uppity, or if Russia invades, or if some German gets big ideas — I just don’t care. Let the chips fall where they may.

Obama’s fading fast.

Put him in a room with a teleprompter and fake news crew and let him talk himself to death.

“The police acted stupidly”

“Welcome Clock boy”

The acronym that best fits this pompous ass is GIGO.

For those that don't know, it is a technology term: Garbage in Garbage Out. That should be the epitaph of this presidency.

What I’d like to know is: What did Calvin Coolidge do to the author to generate such hatred against the man?

Our entry into WW2 was predetermined by Roosevelt selling armaments to Britain and refusal to help Japan. It also appeared that FDR hoped to goad Japan into attacking us. An interesting book by Admiral Kemp Tolley, The Cruise of the Lanikai, seemed to indicate FDR’s hope of another Panay incident, but Pearl Harbor happened first. A schooner was little fish compared to a battle fleet.

I hope he will soon be publicly shamed, if not in legal turmoil. According to a recent interview with investigator Mike Zullo, before Sheriff Joe Arpaio is out of office in January, incontrovertible evidence of Obama’s birth certificate fraud will be publicly revealed. It’s not too late to correct the historical record and out all of the people in both parties and media who were complicit.

Pretty soon all he’ll have left to lecture is Michele, and I suspect she’ll cold cock him.
