GOLF BALLS, GOOF BALLS AND MISSING BALLS



The emotional political temperature of the country's voters is heating up fast over the recently exposed disengagement of our President. For a man who campaigned relentlessly to win re-election to sit in the oval office chair of world power, it is curious and infuriating to many that he spends his time oblivious to crisis while sitting in a golf cart.  

Beyond the President's partisan politicking and fund raising for his progressive Democrat Party his presidency has been a characterized as weak and feckless. While there is agreement on both sides of the aisle about his lack of strong leadership there are two competing pseudo psychological analyses as to why he fails to roll up his sleeves and do the work required of his office. Some saying he is in over his head while others suggest that his inattentiveness is a calculated disregard.

Either way, many Americans are both frustrated and worried that our borders are being neglected at the worst possible time, given the rise of the organized terror group calling itself ISIS. Neither the President nor the officials in his administration have reached out to assure Americans that the government is actively and confidently guarding the homeland against attacks.

Instead the President acted against his own primary foreign policy strategy of not doing "stupid (expletive)" and stupidly told the whole world that America is without a strategy regarding ISIS. Put another way, the President undressed on the world stage and left no doubt that his lackluster actions to date would not loom larger in the future.

The rub against the Obama presidency is that he is unqualified to govern a nation and too professorial in confronting America's serious issues. This president has little stock left of his bully pulpit clout both home and abroad.  Worse than Jimmy Carter's famous "malaise speech" our current Commander in Chief seems more distracted than overwhelmed and more carelessly unconcerned than just indecisive. 

Careful observers of this President will notice that more often times than not, when the president does address the nation his facts do not comport with reality and are, in fact, completely opposite. He continues to talk about a recovering economy while youth still flip burgers with a Bachelor's degree. He claims the border is secure and we know it is a sieve. He has claimed the world is relatively calm yet even those casually aware of world affairs realize the hostilities by enemy states and terror groups continues to grow. 

But what has a lot of Americans hot under the collar is his administration's constant denial of radical Islam and the war they are waging against America and the whole western world. This is not a criminal enterprise to be policed, or a junior varsity gang of thugs to scare out of committing mayhem. Rather it is a growing want-a-be caliphate army of radical religious zealots that will not stop recruiting, growing and killing until their fascists' dreams are put six feet underground. 

How is it that at the same time that a caliphate army is growing, in the lawless lands of ousted or besieged Mid-East countries (Libya, Syria, Iraq) who have beheaded Americans and vow to attack us with greater carnage on our own soil, do we have no control over our borders?

This is the lesson of Benghazi. Not a lesson for the White House. Not a lesson for conservatives that never voted for a liberal community organizer to become Commander in Chief. No this is a lesson for all those who voted for Obama aware that his administration lied about Benghazi being a protest caused by a video. For all those that voted for him inexplicitly believing his foreign policy was strong while he hid behind Candy Crowley's skirt during the debate over his words and actions post Benghazi. 

What difference does it make? Open borders (no security just like they left Ambassador Stevens), distrust in government because it lies and spies on good citizens while refusing to call out Muslim jihadists(Fort Hood workplace violence), arming the enemy with American weapons (Libyan fighters and lack of security force agreement in Iraq), playing golf immediately after ISIS beheads an American journalist (President absent from situation room during Benghazi) and heads to Vegas to campaign while the dead American bodies are still warm. No soldiers left behind was the reason for the Bergdahl swap and release of five GITMO Islamic war criminal terrorists? Well, then why did Obama leave four men to die in Benghazi?  Do you see a pattern; now? 

America has earned the right to be proud of our history, our military, our culture and our values but this administration has told us we "didn't build that" and that we are racists, bigots and Islam-a-phobic. This while we watch a video of Americans being be-headed and view our America's President puttying around on the green pitiless. 
  
Instead of strong leadership, we Americans see golf balls and golf carts from the White House. Instead of sane and secure foreign policy, we see goof ball plans from advisors trying to appease the political optics of a disengaged President. Instead of promoting American fearlessness on the world stage, we see our President exposing his lack of manhood as he refuses to call Muslim killers cowards as they rape and kill women and children. Yes, there is a difference between a president and a poser.
