These radical Muslim terrorists are emboldened by weakness not power. Bush exuded power. Obama reflects extreme weakness.

Absolutely true! My beef with Bush is that he held back and misdirected some of that power (including the power of propaganda). It was for the noblest of reasons, but that was a major mistake. As for Obama...the best you can say is that he is lazy and clueless.

The US population still does not understand the threat of radical Islam to western civilization.

Again we agree. These times call for another Ronald Reagan, another Maggie Thatcher, and another John Paul II, simultaneously, as before. Sadly, we have nothing like that now. And so the West will pay very dearly.

I agree with one exception. I do believe Obama is lazy but I don't think he is clueless. I think his whole world view and perspective is far different from what most Americans believe. So he knows what he's doing but it is so far removed from what the average American believes, we view him as clueless.

Rather, I think he is as smart as a fox and very calculating. He is getting away with most of his damage and destruction so far. His plan to "fundamentally transform the greatest country on the face of the earth (or in the history of the world)" is progressing like clockwork.
