WHEN IT COMES TO THE MONARCHIAL RULE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA POLITICAL FAILURE IS THE OPERATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Yes folks I believe that Barack Obamas presidency has been a total failure; and today I want to list all the many reasons why (from my point of view anyway).
So lets begin our list in no order of priority:
CAN ONE SINGLE MAN BE SO VAIN?
(1) The anointed one believes he is intellectually superior to anyone he meets:
For example imagine having to sit in a room with him to negotiate important Congressional issues and watch that little sneer appear at the corner of his mouth as begins to prevaricate & distort the facts -- with his usual aplomb -- and then blames everything on
YOUR political partisanship
.
POLITICAL REVENGE AS AN ART FORM
Barack Obama definition of political partisanship:
ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH HIM!
(2) The Obama administration and their media cheerleading team at the likes of the Washington Post" NY Times" & MSNBC fashion themselves as the
conscience of America."
No such luck!
After all who was it that accused Mitt Romney of robbing poor employees as well as Mr. Romney ruthlessly withdrawing health-care coverage for spouses suffering from cancer (a canard raised by a retired fully-pensioned former employee of Romneys business empire who was paid to lie about this incident by the Obama election campaign team)?
And which Presidential candidate was it who -- in a secret fundraising meeting with millionaire donors -- urged them to punish our enemies and get in their face.
Could it have been Barack I Never Met Anyone Who Disagreed With Me Whom I didnt Want To Squish Like A Mosquito Obama?
And as he magnanimously reminded them about his alleged political enemies (especially the ones at Fox News):
Dont think were not keeping score!
PREVARICATION AS A POLITICAL ART FORM
(3) How do you know when Barack Obama is lying? When he moves his lips!
Like one of his biggest supporters Al Gore Barack Obama specializes in inconvenient" truths -- which conveniently are NOT true but help demonize his political opponents.
For example who else but Americas Prevaricator-In-Chief -- in order to discredit opponents of ObamaCare blithely promised if you like your health plan you can keep your plan AND If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor ... uhm well you get the point.
And speaking of
broken promises this is one facet of government which
Barack Obama excels at:
For example he promised to close Guantanamo Bay and didnt.
He promised to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in front of a civilian jury in New York; but like a reality-challenged Illinois General Custer he was forced to retreat because of outrage among members of his own political party.
Not to mention his failure to stop the out-of-control deficit spending he inherited from his predecessor or his failure to reduce poverty (and create jobs) among the young minority voters who trusted him the most.
ALL THE NEWS THAT ISNT FIT TO PRINT
(4) HE JUST READ ABOUT IN THE NEWSPAPER:
And is this guy kidding?
Is his staff so incompetent or is he so bored with his daily briefings (just day-dreaming about another golf game with Tiger Woods in Hawaii) that the only way he can learn about the excesses & incompetence of his annually appointed (but NEVER fired) Cabinet secretaries is to read about them in the newspapers?
Fast & Furious gunning-running by Eric Holder into Mexico resulting in the deaths of American border agents?
Didnt know a thing about it except what I read in the newspapers!"
The IRS intimidation of leading media critics?
Just like you guys I just found about it for the first time while reading todays newspapers!"
The ObamaCare affordable (unaffordable) health-care act is a complete train wreck about to derail into the proverbial toilet bowl of health-care history?
Guys guys dont believe everything you read in the newspapers!"
AS A LEADER THIS MAN REALLY REALLY DOES SUCK
(5) Foreign policy has become a full-pledged disaster for this unprepared President
And finally this is one American President who has botched Americas foreign-policy like no other president before him (except perhaps Jimmy Carter) -- whether its (a) Syrian President Bashar Assad and Assads slaughter of thousands of his own countrymen (enthusiastically exceeding the Obama red line); or (b) Irans relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons intended to ultimately annihilate Americas Western seaboard; or (c) North Koreas provocative shelling of Tokyo & Seoul; or (d) Vladimir Putins invasion & annexation of Eastern Ukraine (the ultimate two-fingered salute to Americas community-organizer-in-chief!)
Americas international enemies metaphorically eat this Presidents lunch and then spit it out again and then inevitably defy his warnings one or more times.
AND THE MORAL OF THIS STORY
And on that depressing note I end this commentary" with the same thought I began it with:
THIS AMERICAN PRESIDENT TRULY SUCKS AT HIS JOB!
Not that he ever had a real job in his long career as a community organizer!
