President Obama needs to focus on how the United States can meet global challenges
Washington Post ^ | August 29, 2014

Posted on 08/29/2014 7:15:03 PM PDT by NCjim

PRESIDENT OBAMA’S acknowledgment that “we don’t have a strategy yet” in Syria understandably attracted the most attention after his perplexing meeting with reporters Thursday. But his restatement of the obvious was not the most dismaying aspect of his remarks. The president’s goal, to the extent he had one, seemed to be to tamp down all the assessments of gathering dangers that his own team had been issuing over the previous days.

This argument with his own administration is alarming on three levels.

The first has to do with simple competence.

Which Democrat, currently active as a Federal Politician, has EVER served in the US Military?

For starters:

Sen. John Effin' Kerry (D-MA, now Secretary-of-State)
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA)
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)

Each of whom, coincidentally, fought in Viet Nam. Or, at least, said they did. Turns out Blumenthal was never in Viet Nam...Harkin ferried planes between Japan and the Phillipines and was never in Nam...and Kerry, well, you know about him.

Not exactly the "proudly serving" nor the "honorable comrade in arms" sort...

Obama doesn’t give a damn about what America needs.

He’s only upset that his pace of America’s destruction has been slowed.

Okay, so I struck out!

How about a present or past Obama Cabinet Member, other than the aforementioned Kerry?

golf, vacations and social issues. He has no clue about what a President should do or even act.
He wants to change this country so his immigration and social issues is all what counts to him

I expect a lot of chaos before Harry’s last hoorra in January.

Much lame duck BS to be undone.

Secretary of Defense Chuck "D'oh" Hagel was a sergeant in Viet Nam...and actually saw combat.

Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE).

One of the more embarrassing Senators of all time...

This wouldn’t be an issue if the guy had a clue as to what he’s doing.

If he has a POLICY vis-a-vis Russia and Ukraine, it’s a secret, even to Ukraine. If he has a policy vis-a-vis ISIS, he’s had months of ISIS growing in Syria and Iraq to put it together. It’s been clear with the latest advances of ISIS in Iraq that he’s never had any policy with regard to ISIS.

The ONLY clear section of Middle East policy that Obama has had is how hard he can beat up on, brow beat, disrupt and antagonize Israel.

It’s pathetic that anyone is still writing these “advice to Obama” columns and editorials. All of them share the premise that “Obama” is president of the United States and wants to do good for the country.

“Obama” was put in place to destroy the U.S. and the American people. Anyone who writes advice for “Obama,” pointing out this or that that he “needs” to pay attention to, or that he “needs” to do for the economy, or that he “needs” to do to defeat terrorism, is just revealing that he is sound asleep.

“Obama” doesn’t “need” to do anything other than what he is doing: shipping terrorists, Stinger missiles, bio-weapons, etc., etc., into the country by the planeload. “Obama” is carefully coordinating foreign and domestic assets to kill and terrorize Americans. Everything is proceeding according to plan.

How many people understand this? There’s no way to know. How many FReepers are still asleep, still under the delusion that “Obama” is normal incompetent “liberal”?
