A Teachable Moment
Barry Obama, the least experienced and most naive man ever elected to run a functioning nation-state by people who weren’t told how to vote, loves nothing more than to talk big.
Mostly about himself, but occasionally, when he absolutely cannot avoid it, concerning the multitudinous problems facing the US.
Barry does not like to do this, and with good reason. To talk about these problems is to admit their existence, which carries with it the fatal possibility of acknowledging that they’re severe enough to not only shatter his presidency but also – if we continue present policies, which all amount to doing sweet FA – the country.
As I’ve said before, superpowers do not die – they commit suicide.
This realization, should Barry experience it too often, threatens to break his fragile self-confidence, the root of his magical abilities.
Which explains why Barry busies himself chasing after useless pieces of paper, instead of focusing his energies on what matters: the global war on terror and Afghanistan (leaving aside Iraq for this post).
Barry’s prime duty is to act as Commander-in-Chief of the nation’s military forces. This would be true even if the US were not engaged in two wars. And it is a responsibility he takes so seriously that he has spoken with the US Commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, a whole one time.
One.
And Barry has never met him in person.
This is the reality of the man. This is how he sees fit to run the “right war.” Incompetent domestically and clueless abroad, Barry has the reverse-Midas touch. As his acolytes scream ever more hysterically about white racism, so does what they are trying to hide only become more apparent: that Barry is dangerously out of his depth.
And he knows it. No-one can truly be prepared to enter the Oval Office, but Barry has never held a position, or even done anything, that demanded deep mental fortitude before. He has always had a figure to guide him towards the next landmark, and has become adept at evading decisions and commitments.
First president to have a mental breakdown while in office, anyone?

as a baby-boomer, of course he’ll have a breakdown. it’s as inescapable as death, taxes, and where i come from, waiting for drawbridges.

I found it also incredulous that Gates is withholding McChrystal’s troop request until Obama figures out what the hell to do.

Nice summation here of the big ‘BO’, it seems you have me beat today, churning out several top-shelf posts.I have several stories on the desk this evening and am insufferably suffering from a case of writer’s block….. And more importantly, why did you leave RSM’s party early,(if I am to believe what I read from nefarious sources)
Keep it up Track!
