TODAYS (VERY HIGHLY) RECOMMENDED READING ...FROM THE NATIONAL REVIEW"

uselessWISE ADVICE … MAYBE AMERICAS NARCISSISTIC GOLFER-IN-CHIEF WILL LISTEN TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN VALERIE JARRET & GEORGE SOROS FOR A CHANGE OBAMA OUTED: IF ONLY! IF HES BORED WED BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET HIM LEAVE By Quin Hillyer National Review" September 1 2014 HERES QUIN HILLYERS PROVOCATIVE BUT EXTREMELY INSIGHTFUL & SENSIBLE (AND ALSO ACCURATE) NATIONAL REVIEW OP-ED IN ITS ENTIRETY: Just resign already. Go. Be gone. Vamoose. Get out of our lives. More important: Stop endangering all of us with your self-indulgent vacations and self-absorbed dithering along with your unconstitutional domestic power grabs  ... and all this FIDDLING ... WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD BURNS! Barack Obama already is derelict in his duties as commander in chief … He ought to abdicate now and step off his SELF-MADE throne! Knowledgeable people were calling for Obama to begin air strikes against the Islamic State barbarians months before Obama could rouse himself to admit that the brutes were something other than jayvee" terrorists... Because he didnt thousands of innocents died villages were razed churches were destroyed thousands more were left homeless and vast swaths of territory were lost to purveyors of pure unadulterated evil. And now after several years of the Islamic State rising after half a year of its being obvious that the Islamic State is a new sort of threat after a couple of months of vicious terror of a sort even this troubled modern world has rarely seen and after the Islamic State beheaded an American journalist on camera we have a man pretending to be president who tells the world that as the leader of the globes most powerful nation he still doesnt have a strategy yet" for the situation. Words fail. Meanwhile Russia invades the sovereign nation of Ukraine. And Barack Obama cant even bring himself to acknowledge that its an invasion much less do anything effective about it. But we cant say we werent warned that Obama would be so compliant with Putin: It was in March 2012 speaking on an open mic to Russian apparatchik-cum-president Dmitry Medvedev that Obama promised After my election I have more flexibility." Little did Ukraine know that such flexibility" would include turning a blind eye to the loss of major parts of the Ukraines own territory. The United States still has not even provided military aid to help Ukraine defend itself. But the CHICKEN (coward) is in the OBAMA WHITE HOUSE! Even worse than his failure to help a sovereign nation stand up to a bully (as described above) is Obamas betrayal of another ally one of our most crucial partners on the world stage Israel. But thats what Obama and his pompous secretary of state John Kerry have done with relation to Israel on multiple counts. First Kerry had the gall to threaten Israel with boycotts if his own ill-advised peace talks" met with failure as they were certain to do given how poorly conceived they were. What Kerry called peace" amounted to Israeli abandonment of the Jordan Valley and establishment of an Arab capital in East Jerusalem though both arrangements would be scandalously dangerous for Israels security. Then while Israel was being bombarded with thousands of Hamas rockets an Obama-Kerry spokesman had the temerity to label an Israeli response disgraceful" and totally unacceptable and totally indefensible." Perhaps Kerry and his morally bankrupt mouthpiece might themselves want to spend time in Ashkelon or Beersheba during a Hamas rocket attack maybe in the middle of the night when sleep makes it difficult to respond to sirens in time to seek adequate shelter… Israel warns that Iran is processing uranium that can be used only for bombs and developing missiles specifically usable for nuclear-bomb delivery the ayatollahs continue to repeat their assertion that the United States is the Great Satan and Obamas response is: to relax sanctions on Iran. Amazingly the administration is even playing footsie with Iran as a possible ally" against the Islamic State in Iraq. This is jaw-droppingly inane if not insane! But its not only the security of allies that Obama endangers. His deliberate creation of an ever-more-porous southern American border is allowing the illegal entry of criminals by the score or maybe by the hundreds alongside almost assuredly terrorists as well. Obama though keeps WHINING and DINING and VACATIONING and PLAYING GOLF with his weak-looking swing oblivious or indifferent to the dangers to which he is subjecting the American homeland Even if one assumes that our supposedly earth-healing president has the best of intentions rather than a mere desire for power and a deep animus against anyone who disagrees with him not necessarily a reasonable assumption at this point his record is one of astonishing ineptness. Everything he does creates DISASTER! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MUCH-TOUTED HEALTH CARE MIRACLE (AS CLAIMED BY MSNBC AND JAMES CARVILLE) … WHAT ABOUT OBAMACARE? Obamacare is deeply unpopular as it forces premiums through the roof raises multiple taxes severely harms important industries fails to process claims and enrollments narrows patient choices forces consumers away from their preferred plans and doctors and also adds hundreds of billions of dollars to the national debt. BUT AMERICAS (SELF-PROCLAIMED) SAVIOR RECENTLY BOASTED THAT THE U.S. ECONOMY IS NOW THRIVING UNDER HIS WATCH … ISNT THAT AT LEAST GOOD NEWS? The economy continues on its path of the slowest recovery" since World War II with Obamas stimulus" never having stimulated a thing (other than more debt) largely because as Obams admitted in a joking tone shovel-ready wasnt as shovel-ready as we expected." A CYNICAL POLITICS OF SECRECY & DIVISION? … THIS IS GETTING DEPRESSING! Obama promised a politics of reconciliation; but he has produced only more division. He promised transparency; BUT he has run an administration of such deliberate secrecy that even a lapdog media feels compelled to lodge a formal protest. He promised racial harmony; but again & again he has joined his corrupt attorney general in exacerbating racial tensions again and again. HEY MAYBE A NEW FORM OF DISASTER RELIEF IS NEEDED FOR AMERICA … TO PROTECT AMERICANS FROM THE FECKLESS ECONOMIC & SOCIAL POLICIES OF THIS LEFTIST VISIONARY" (AND BEST FRIEND OF BILL AYERS ) WHO SEEMS INTENT ON DESTROYING AMERICA Hillyer continues: The costs of leadership by this president are near innumerable: Food-stamp use is way up; and the unemployed work force remains at near record highs Energy costs especially for gasoline have skyrocketed since Barack Obamas first inauguration. Disaster relief has been bungled (or worse). And of course RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS are constantly under ASSAULT  and political enemies are harassed (and discriminated against) by a CORRUPT IRS. Scandals abound: Fast and Furious; the New Black Panthers Benghazi; the NSAs domestic spying; the IRS; mistreated inspectors general; race-based justice." Cover-ups aplenty; contempt of court; judicial smackdowns galore: The list goes onBut all Obama can do when he is not greatly exacerbating whatever problem he chooses to create is to retreat further into his princeling world  hobnobbing with the rich and famous and  shifting blame to everyone else   and acting as if somehow he wafts above the ordinary world of politics which in truth HE himself has done so much to POLLUTE! Rather than leading from behind an absurdity he should leave behind the office of president that seems alternately to annoy and bore him. Let Joe Biden take responsibility; at least Biden engages rather than withdraws when the going gets tough. Somebody needs to say it to his face: Barack Obama is the worst president by far since at least the Civil War … For the love of God man just go away!" …. MY OWN THINKING ON THIS PROVOCATIVE BUT COMPLETELY SENSIBLE OP-ED As Ive opined on these pages previously there is only one (political) solution to this made in America" crisis: In the 2014 & 2016 elections Americans should permanently vote out of office all those Democrat Party bums who created this economic mess … Can you say Lame Duck President" boys & girls?
