Obama’s Piss Poor Presidency

A commenter asked on Presidential what I meant by Obama’s “piss poor” presidency. I gave it short shrift and it deserves better ... so here is more — the urine that the “chosen one” managed to spread around during his pampered eight years:

- His initial apology tour ... disparaging his country
- Gutting our military
- Significantly deepening the domestic racial divide
- Doubling our notional debt burden by $10 trillion
- Spending $1 trillion on [non] “shovel-ready jobs”
- Cash for clunkers
- Attempting to destroy our coal and oil industries
- Relying on monetary and not fiscal levers for economic recovery
- Tens of billions lost on Solyndra and other crony  “investments”
- The stupid Paris Climate Accord
- Oblivious to huge trade deficits with China, Mexico and the EU
- Frequently disrespecting Israel
- The Benghazi debacle
- Allowing Hillary’s private email server
- Politicizing our intelligence agencies
- Obamacare which is slowly being fixed by Congress and the courts
- The Iranian nuclear deal giving it $150 billion and  $1.6B in hard cash
- Giving lip service to defeating ISIS ... possibly even arming them
- Reneging US commitment to put missiles in Poland
- Colluding with the Muslim Brotherhood and Black Lives Matter
- Unconstitutional DACA executive order
- Pardoning spy Chelsea Manning
- Swapping deserter Bowe Bergdahl for five senior Taliban bad guys
- “Fast and Furious” gun running to Mexico cartels
- IRS discrimination against Tea Party groups
- Spying on political opponents and the media
- Selling 20% of US uranium to the Russians
- Russian reset including allowing them to annex Crimea
- Not arming the Ukraine with anti-tank missiles against Russia
- Not making NATO countries meet their committed military spending
- The very expensive Afghanistan “surge” producing nothing
- Not confronting North Korea’s for its bad behavior

Enough? And I’m sure I forgot quite a few!

Today's Quote

Bowe Bergdahl's parents and friend in the Rose Garden

Once justice was blind ... but today she wears Google glasses -- Anon.

Lethal Injections

Dylann Roof is now in the sentencing phase of his murder trial for killing nine members of a black church in Charleston, SC ... see: Aiken Standard Article.

If it were up to me, I would love to see this chicken fry ... or whatever trendy verb can be applied to a lethal injection.

And while we are at it, how about also offing the Boston Marathon bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, and, that traitor, Bowe Bergdahl? Oh, what the hell, if we can entice Edward Snowden back from Russia, let's also do him in (but the firing squad for this one.)

The Oath

When our president twice took his oath of office, he swore to protect the American people from "all enemies, foreign and domestic." I can't believe that anyone truly believes that Obummer has fulfilled this pledge. Here are but a few of the instances where he has fallen down on his job one:

The Fast and Furious scheme inside his Justice Dept., his premature pullout from Iraq, his release of thousands of immigrant criminals, his unwillingness to identify the radicalized Muslim enemy, the series of terrorist attacks inside the U.S. on his watch, the release of hundreds of terrorists from Gitmo, his open borders policy, his tepid response to the ISIS threat, the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner exchange, his politically motivated "surge" in Afghanistan with no chance of success, his embracing of the Muslim Brotherhood, his sponsoring the Arab Spring and its dire consequences (Egypt, Libya, etc.), and his capitulation to Iran on their nuclear program/sponsorship of terrorism.

Enough? (There are lots more.) Obviously this man then had scant regard for this oath ... or the Book upon which he swore it.

Actions Instead of Words

 

President Obama just gave an impassioned talk in Turkey in which he reiterated his misbegotten views of Islam ... saying that this religion is not one of violence and that it is Muslims who are the overwhelming victims of those radicals (a bit of a contradiction). He also warned that the West's equating of ISIS with the Muslim faith will only lead to larger recruitment of such terrorists. And he also cautioned that to use a religious test to sift out potential terrorist from among the Syrian immigrants is not the American way and is shameful. For those of you who want to scratch you head over Obama' s full speech, it is reproduced HERE..

Excuse me Mr. President but you are full of hot air. Your actions defy your words. Time and time again you have ignored opportunities to begin to move the Muslim religion away from its radical tendencies and have enabled them to march further into the depths of depravity. Your strategy to "diminish and defeat" these ISIS savages and the other radical elements of Islam does nothing but let them have their leash. Let me count the ways:

- From the very first days of your presidency, you have embraced and met with the Muslim Brotherhood ... a group that has since been identified as a terrorist organization.

- You have diminished and slighted Israel at every opportunity ... the only true ally we have in the Middle East and a major bulwark against the radical elements of Islam.

- When el Sisi, President of Egypt, called for a "reformation" within Islam for it to denounce its more radical tenants, what was your reaction? You stayed stunningly mum.

- You pulled our troops out of Iraq ... only to have this country sink below the waves and spawn ISIS. And instead you created a surge of 30,000 U.S. troops into Afghanistan ... the "good war." However, the rules of engagement you imposed upon then neutered them to the point where nothing got accomplished ... except "green on blue" killings of Americans by turncoat Afghans.

- You have repeatedly crowed that the greatest threat to world security is ... climate change! Yes, climate change!! We don't have enough turnip trucks in the United States for our people to fall off of for this bit of sinister misdirection to be believed.

- President Obama, last year, proudly released five hardened Islamic terrorists back to the battlefield in exchange for the Army deserter, Bowe Bergdahl ... one of the most bone-headed prisoner exchanges in history.

- And when Egypt offered the Palestinian Authority large swaths of the Sinai Peninsula so that they could  expand the Gaza Strip into a real two-state solution, what was your reaction? You refused to even acknowledge this act of statesmanship of Egypt's part.

- Your attempts to neutralize ISIS, for some strange reason, did not include the bombing of its capital, Raqqa, or the elimination of the oil infrastructure that provides much of its operating budget. In fact the number of air sorties over Iraq and Syria that you have authorized are but a tiny fraction of what would be required ... with 2/3rds of our jets returning with their weapons unused. You have no strategy to defeat ISIS ... you barely have any tactics.

-You have cozied up to the Ayatollahs in Iran and given them the resources to continue their sponsorship of Islamic terrorism throughout the world ... and clearly given a path to atomic weapons.

Need I document more of your tilt toward Islam?

Mr. President, I can't imagine that, if you truly believe in the bilge that was spewing out of your pie hole, that you would have behaved, over the last seven years, in the ways other than what I have just recounted.

Bowe Ties

Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is being charged with desertion as a result of his AWOL disappearance  and eventual imprisonment by the Taliban some five years ago ... see: Washington Post Story. Can we get the five vicious Taliban prisoners back that we traded for this piece of pond scum? Can the Rose Garden ceremony ... where our fearless leader extolled this misbegotten exchange with his arms around Bergdahl's parents ... somehow be erased from the minds of the American people? Can the six or seven soldier's lives that were lost in searching for this troglodyte traitor be somehow resurrected? Can our joke of a National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, please apologize for claiming on national TV that Bowe Bergdahl served "with honor and distinction?"

Yes, leaders are entitled to make mistakes ... but you would think that, if the evidence was so overwhelming that Bergdahl had deserted his post in Afghanistan, they should have at least taken a couple of beats before this administration made such a gigantic and embarrassing set of blunders. I suppose that the hubris of this mob just won't allow that they could be so very wrong ... and, of course, this was not the first of their boners.  Need I try to recount all their many public miscues? Send me a note if you have forgotten ...

And now they say "trust us" regarding the upcoming Iran nuclear deal ... which may not be written down ... but would exist only in the imaginations of the agreeing parties. Isn't this just another recipe for a doofus-done disaster?

Afterward: At least three of the five Taliban prisoners released in exchange for Bergdahl are trying to rejoin the battle ... see: Daily Caller Story.

Bad Swaps

The Obama administration’s swapping of five vicious Taliban Gitmo prisoners for a possible Army deserter, Bowe Bergdahl, has evoked a series of bad-swap bromides.  I think it was Charles Krauthammer who suggested one … that this recent prisoner exchange was like trading a Rolls Royce for a Slinky. Greg Gutfeld said that it was like trading five hand grenades for a water pistol. These bon mots got me to thinking up some bad-swap similes on my own … such as:

-        Swapping Sir Lawrence Olivier for Adam Sandler

-        Swapping a wagyu steak for a Happy Meal

-        Swapping Pope John Paul II for Cardinal Law

-        Swapping Paris for Detroit

-        Swapping an orchid for poison ivy

-        Swapping a Boeing 787 for a box kite

-        Swapping Citation for Mr. Ed

-        Swapping Dom Perignon for Flexinet

-        Swapping Frank Sinatra for MC Hammer

 and finally

      -        Swapping Ronald Reagan for Barack Obama

But I think I like Greg Gutfeld’s the best.
