London Daily Columnist States the Obvious: Obama - Weakest President In The History Of The U.S.

MEMRI 

"The problem of U.S. President Barack Obama can be summed up in a single word: hesitation. The man is short-sighted, confused and diffident. It seems that the gist of his policy is disagreeing with every position of his predecessor, George W. Bush, and that is quarrelsomeness, not policy. 

"This assessment of Obama's policy is not voiced only by his Republican rivals in the U.S., or by those who hate some [aspects] of his global [foreign] policy, but also by some proponents of his own school of thought, like the well-known American author David Ignatius, who recently wrote a critique of the Obama administration's policy that was not confined to foreign [policy] affairs... Summarizing the problematic aspects of Obama's conduct, he said that the public is more afraid of a weak administration than a strong one!

"We are not talking [only] about harsh critics of this administration, inside or outside the U.S. This is apparent from a recent article by Lebanese-American writer Fuad 'Ajami, who slammed Obama for his feebleness, his lack of leadership, and his inability to take bold decisions under difficult circumstances......."

Spot the Incongruous Headline

"So take in this screen cap of the yesterdays roster of headlines appearing on the AOL/HuffPo home page. Six of the ten headlines relate one way or another to terrorism or the problem of Islamic jihad. One of them sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb. The country’s in the very best of hands, as Glenn Reynolds likes to remind us."

I've Got Friends in Low Places

Pity the Multiculturalist Gaia Worshipping Obama Loving Liberals, and What They've Done to All of Us

by DiploMad2.0

I gloat more in sadness than in anger, more in pity than in "we told you so," but, nevertheless, I will gloat--although the gloat will be tempered by the realization of the damage done by the liberals.

 As a "compassionate conservative" (remember that horrid phrase?) I can't help but feel some pity for the liberals at home and their leftoid compadres in Europe and elsewhere. Everywhere we look we see the lefty house of cards imploding, caving in, crashing to the floor in a disorganized heap. All of their fantasies and self-delusions seem coming apart.

 We see this disintegration in:

-- the bomb blasts by Muslim terrorists ripping through the Boston marathon;

-- the smoke of Stockholm in flames thanks to its Muslim immigrants;

--the blood of a young British father and patriot butchered by jihadis on the streets of his capital city;

-- the EU's growing disarray and absurdities;

-- the disappearance of "global warming";

-- the evident bankruptcy of Keynesian (and Kenyan) economics;

-- the failure of the gun grab in the US which included a secret war against Mexico;

-- the turning of the Arab spring into the debacle of the Arab farce and its Benghazi nightmare;

-- the inability to find employment for the idiots produced by the idiot-run education industry;

-- the sound of Chicago and Detroit crashing into walls under the guidance of liberals;

-- the use of the IRS to target conservatives;

-- the effort to stifle investigative journalism;

-- the growing revolt against Obamacare as its ruinous nature becomes increasingly apparent;

 -- and, of course, the revelation that the Obama misadministration has proven precisely as the conservatives and the hated Fox News Corporation have reported for years: an intolerant band of totalitarians who use the powers of the bloated government to suppress dissent and freedom of expression.

 For any thinking liberals out there--Do they exist? The world wonders--it must feel akin to the pain felt by the Aztecs or the Incas when a handful of Spaniards brought down their mighty empires, or by that of the Japanese imperialists when the USS Missouri steamed into Tokyo Bay.

Are liberals capable of learning? Or will they instead develop new myths and fantasies, new gods to replace the ones with feet of clay? I think we all know the answer to that, but we can always hope for change.
