A delayed response. I think Obama is an ideologue and a con man. And I think he is extremely incompetent in many areas. Have never bought the notion that he's some evil genius who can foresee how any and every scenario will play out, and that he can manipulate every situation to come out as he wishes, even if he wishes the opposite of what he says publicly.
Most of the Middle East has blown up in his face. The MB regime he helped install in Egypt was overthrown. Libya is a disaster by any measure after they helped overthrow Gaddafi. Syria is complete chaos and he backed away from his 'red line' and no one really knows what's happening there, let along how to identify the "good rebels".
And I think he cavalierly ignored all the warnings of what would happen if he pulled all troops out of Iraq. That was arrogance, pigheadedness and incompetence of one who refused to alter his plans to avert the disaster those most experienced in Iraq told him would unfold.
If the MSM would report objectively about the results of his decisions and policies, he'd look like the biggest incompetent and screw up ever to occupy the Oval Office.
Oh, I don’t think he’s a genius. And the loss of Egypt by the MB was contrary to what Obama wanted.
But what is happening in Iraq was not the result of “pigheadedness” or “incompetence.” It is what Obama wanted: the beheadings, crucifixions, burnings alive, the slaughter of all non-Muslims.
Yes. Obama has had some “failures,” but NONE of the atrocities against non-Muslims is among those “failures.” Only the few setbacks for the Muslim murderers are failures from Obama’s point of view.
The only country where Obama's foreign policy has "blown up in his face" is Egypt, where the MB was thrown out.
Everywhere else in the ME, non-Muslims are being slaughered, raped, and driven into exile. I.e., precisely what Obama wanted.
Obama is the most successful President, domestically and in foreign policy, in U.S. history. People are suffering and dying at home and abroad.
