The point is that he was elected twice and near as I can tell remains in positive approval rating territory. Every one of the problems Obama has had to deal with has been either self-created or made massively worse by his inept policies and decisions. Nothing today is better than it was on the day that GW Bush left office, neither domestically nor across the world. There was a downturn in 2008, a financial crisis that had already burned itself through by the middle of 2009. These things happen but there was no reason that an upturn was not then on the horizon. The surge in Iraq had worked, and while nothing was as one would wish, there was a potential for an accommodation across the Middle East. Syria was not in the midst of a civil war, nor was Europe invaded by millions, some of whom were refugees while most of them were not.

Yet here is the real point. He was not foisted on America by some enemy out to harm its international standing and economy. He was not a chance occurrence of some kind, and was not only elected but re-elected. He was the popular choice over a Senator McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012, both of whom would have fulfilled the office with honour, integrity and good sense.

And just to remind yourself of the kind of person Obama is look at the people he surrounds himself with, that is, at the only kind of person whose judgment he will trust given how massively vain and narcissistic is he. Just look at this quote from his closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, and try not to feel ill:

I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is… He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually…

So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. …

He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.

Only someone absolutely detached from the world could bear the company of others who hold such absurd and fantastic beliefs about themselves. Jarrett is probably even lying but knows what he likes to hear. Obama is the most colossally stupid man ever to be president – a bone-headed fool in every respect without a sound political or philosophical principle from head to toe. But when all is said and done, it is the people who got him there who truly deserve to be condemned. We will be paying for their stupidity for a very very long time to come. There really is nothing about modern America that is admirable or worth copying elsewhere. It remains a model for the left everywhere even as it self-destructs before our eyes.

What you see when you look at Obama is correctly described by Ace of Spades:

The bloodless anger of a hollow-chested academic second-rater, spitting impotent venom at his colleagues in the break-room.

Yet they elected him twice. And just to remind yourself of the kind of person he surrounds himself with, that is, the only kind of person whose judgment he will trust so massively vain a narcissist is he, we have this quote from his closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett:

This is now treated everywhere like fact, How US covered up Saudi role in 911. And there are, it is said, 28 pages of secret analysis that spell it out.

In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom.

The New York Post and 60 Minutes are reporting this so why is it not absolutely at the top of every news report every day everywhere in the world? Here’s more:

Case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Washington and San Diego, the forward operating base for some of the Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.) Police Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles. . . .

Those sources say the pages missing from the 9/11 congressional inquiry report — which comprise the entire final chapter dealing with “foreign support for the September 11 hijackers” — details “incontrovertible evidence” gathered from both CIA and FBI case files of official Saudi assistance for at least two of the Saudi hijackers who settled in San Diego.

It defies understanding that the entire government of the United States would suppress such information, and then not just punish the Saudis but attack Iraq, its largest enemy in the Middle East. Why there is no bi-partisan clamour for those 28 pages is beyond me, since you would at least think there is Democrat advantage in attacking a Republican President. Or for the media who hated the War, or for Obama who made his name by not going along with the attacks on Iraq. And no outright denial, but silence.

What’s the problem? Sounds like a good return on investment.

GIVE $300K TO CLINTON FOUNDATION, GET $13M BACK IN STATE DEPARTMENT GRANTS! Not a bad deal, at least for former Nobel Prize winner and long-time Clinton friend Muhammed Yunus. Government panels in Bangladesh and Norway accused him of extensive banking and charitable corruption but that didn’t disqualify Yunus from receiving millions in U.S. tax dollars via loans, grants and contracts from Hillary Clinton’s State Department, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Richard Pollock.

“The awards, totaling $13 million, were issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development, the development arm of the State Department, beginning when Clinton became secretary of state. Another $11 million in federal funds went to organizations allied with Yunus,” Pollock reports.

Yunus “is a high-profile fixture at most of the Clinton Foundation’s major gatherings. The foundation features him at 37 places on its website,” according to Pollock, who also reports that when he asked for details about the $13 million, “USAID Spokesman Raphael Cook said the agency didn’t have the ‘manpower’ to respond to questions about the transactions.” The agency has nearly 4,000 employees.

Showing Trump’s virtues. Stood by his man.
