It's a mistake to think Obama is a bungler. He's achieving


Posted: Sep 15, 2012

...and he's not finished.

When you really grasp what this means, both domestically and globally, you'll be able to understand many aspects of the Obama presidency that are otherwise simply nonsensical.  There was no bungling in the Middle East - ignoring Israel, cozying up to the mullahs in Iran, leading from behind in Libya, secret negotiations with the "good Taliban" (??!!), etc.  There is no bungling in the creation of the world's biggest debtor nation.  There is no bungling in the simultaneous draw-down of both our nuclear arsenal and our conventional forces.

If you judge Obama to be a bungler, you might be tempted to give him another chance to "get it right".  I mean, that's "how we are", right?  Aw, give him another try.

When you realize that Obama is anything BUT a bungler, you might think differently.  Forget that he's a man whose past is more shrouded in mystery than any Mafia don.  Forget that he attended colleges where absolutely no one remembers him.  Forget that the one girlfriend in college that has been identified contradicts his own narrative.  Forget that he has spent enormous sums to protect his records from being seen.

We may know very little about Obama's past, but we can now clearly identify his ideology and it's origins.  This is a man whose closest associates in life have been revolutionaries and other people who are openly hostile toward America - including his own wife, by her own words.  These are the people whom he deliberately sought out and cultivated.  People you would never have anything to do with - nor, EXCEPT for Obama - would you ever vote for anyone whose judgment was so poor, or whose ideology is so revealed.

A bungler?  No.  This is a man who is re-shaping America into exactly the diminished, weak position that he has always intended, but so carefully hid during the campaign of 2008.  And I don't think he minds it if we merely think that he's bungled the job - as long as it means that we will give him another chance.  He still has things to do.

I do find him frightening, especially when thinking of - his associations, snubbing of Israel,

wanting to negotiate and apologize with radicals. The USA has never been so weak in every category, and getting weaker. This election should not even be close. Americans do not seem to be paying enough attention to what is happening, and that is VERY scary.

FEAR is an acronym for "False Evidence Appearing Real." - Cute, huh? But if things are so bad (and they are)

isn't it time to determine to be part of the solution? You can't fix a problem if you don't have the slightest idea what it is and insist on getting in everyone's way.

The world is actually full of people trying to make things better.

Agree with the above 2 posters. How can Obama intend anything else? He is supposed to be a very intelligent man. No intelligent American would keep making these horrendous decisions with any other aim. I am at a loss to understand how people can ignore what they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears. We need a change of course and leadership and fast. It is beyond frightening to believe that there are this many Americans who are either duped or in perfect agreement with bringing down everything Americans have worked for, stood for, and died for these many years.

End the incompetence. Restore the sanity.

I agree with OP from what I can figure out. It's important to - realize that the media typically fail

[ In Reply To ..]
to understand and typically misinterpret and underestimate what is being done by any president. They fail in spite of being aware of most available information. Reading turns up masses of information that never make it to TV, where most time is used to report politics as a team sport.

President Truman is now commonly acknowledged by historians to be one of our near-great, if not great presidents, but his popularity in response to media reports of his tremendous incompetence literally dropped at times as low as any recent president's. This was WHILE he was being a great president. Walter Winchell and others of the most prestigious reporters of the day portrayed him as a pathetic little man accidentally elevated to a position he couldn't begin to fill. They watched him through two terms and completely failed to comprehend his presidency. Too busy listening to each other in part, which is why they all "knew" he would fail to be reelected and reported that through the entire reelection campaign--and election (Dewey Beats Truman!).

Today's journalists as a group are no better. Every election the group-think they develop during the campaigns turns out to be outrageously mistaken in various ways, but they keep portraying themselves as the clear-eyed experts they are not. Sobering when you realize how much we depend on these people for our own understanding.

Malicious bloggers satisfy malcontents but not those who honestly want to know what's going on. Respect and hunger for truth just aren't part of their process.

How will history read President Obama? Way too soon to tell, but incompetent or corrupt are NOT at all how he is described by people who've seen him at work. (And for some of you--all the conviction and wishing you can manage that he'll be proven totally incompetent and that our country will suffer greatly as a result of his election won't make it so. Whatever the truth is, IT is the truth.)

That does not mean becoming a Democrat. It does mean stopping complaining, whining, lying, criticizing anyone who isn't on some stupid "team" and giving your own 5% more to your country. To do better, we each of us have to stop the old indulgent bad habits and be better.
