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.
