Obama is no Ordinary Weakling
Those who compare the bare-chested conqueror of the Crimea with the metro-sexual ruler of the United States and find our emperor weak to the point of deserving ridicule miss the essential strength of President Obama. It's no ordinary weakling who can turn a once-respected country into an international joke; reduce Congress to a gaggle of sniveling sycophants; turn the world's finest medical system into a failed third-rate socialist nightmare with a stroke of his pen; shatter our Constitution without attempted recourse by the sons and daughters of frontiersmen and pioneers whose blood was used to write that inspired document; and turn the people of our once-united states into a herd of competing minorities who, like suckling pigs, are each afraid to lose his place on the government teat should he raise his voice to protest the ruin of our country. So don't denigrate the nonentity ruler who has overcome his uncertain ancestry and ludicrous incompetence to do what no other king or dictator has been able to do in our 237 year history: He has destroyed America.

It is being reported, but but in the compliant lame stream media, that during campaign appearances in Maryland and Illinois, black attendees got up and walked out in droves during the Dear Leaders remarks. Seems even they can no longer tolerate his lies and deception.

They had pics of that on the news.

Shocking. The people leaving were blacks.

Vote all you want. The secret government won’t change.
The people we elect aren’t the ones calling the shots, says Tufts University’s Michael Glennon

The voters who put Barack Obama in office expected some big changes. From the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping to Guantanamo Bay to the Patriot Act, candidate Obama was a defender of civil liberties and privacy, promising a dramatically different approach from his predecessor.

But six years into his administration, the Obama version of national security looks almost indistinguishable from the one he inherited. Guantanamo Bay remains open. The NSA has, if anything, become more aggressive in monitoring Americans. Drone strikes have escalated. Most recently it was reported that the same president who won a Nobel Prize in part for promoting nuclear disarmament is spending up to $1 trillion modernizing and revitalizing America’s nuclear weapons.

Why did the face in the Oval Office change but the policies remain the same? Critics tend to focus on Obama himself, a leader who perhaps has shifted with politics to take a harder line. But Tufts University political scientist Michael J. Glennon has a more pessimistic answer: Obama couldn’t have changed policies much even if he tried.

Though it’s a bedrock American principle that citizens can steer their own government by electing new officials, Glennon suggests that in practice, much of our government no longer works that way. In a new book, “National Security and Double Government,” he catalogs the ways that the defense and national security apparatus is effectively self-governing, with virtually no accountability, transparency, or checks and balances of any kind. He uses the term “double government”: There’s the one we elect, and then there’s the one behind it, steering huge swaths of policy almost unchecked. Elected officials end up serving as mere cover for the real decisions made by the bureaucracy.

Obama's approach to national security has been just as dumb as Bush's.

Their idea was to NOT secure the southern border, allow millions of illegal immigrants to stroll into America, and at that point -- with nobody having the slightest idea who was inside America or why -- they needed to take Orwellian steps to spy on email and phones.

Common sense is no longer common in America, and Obama will continue to refuse to secure the border.

Heck, Obama even wants people with Ebola coming in, so there's just no common sense.

It was a good post johnny, until your last absurd line.

It discussed the topic without being simply a partisan harangue. (Not that I agree with it all.)
But then you had to go and get predictably dimwitted about it.

Why thanks, Clowntoker.

The last line was added just for you.

Well, not by me, of course, but by my bait-posting staffers.
