American Incompetence In A World Spinning Out Of Control -- John Podhoretz, New York Post
An intruder made his way across the White House lawn and through the building almost to the Obama living quarters before being stopped by a Secret Service officer who was off duty: This chilling news is more than just a kind of melodramatic movie scenario come true.
Next to the military, the Secret Service is probably the most highly regarded institution within the executive branch. Or it was.
Now we learn its agents can’t catch a guy running across the White House lawn; can’t stop the guy at the front door; can’t get to him before he gets to the stairs that lead to the rooms where the president’s daughters sleep.
Which raises a simple question: If not the Secret Service, who? Whom can we trust to do a decent job in DC?

A Slapdash Secret Service Detail Isn't What's Wrong With The White House - The Real Scandal Is A President Who Is So Complacent About Protecting Americans -- Piers Morgan, Daily Mail
President Obama this week committed professional suicide.
Let me explain.
There is a theory in politics that once a leader has fired 50 or more people from his or her administration, he or she is finished.
The reason being that by creating so many enemies ‘outside the tent’, the tent itself becomes too deluged with poisonous bile to avoid sinking into a quagmire of back-stabbing ignominy.
Obama went a lot further than firing 50 people.
He managed to single-handedly alienate 200,000 employees in the American intelligence agencies by going on 60 Minutes and ruthlessly chucking them all under a bus over the rise of terror group ISIS.

My Comment: The above are just two commentaries from a deluge of negatives commentaries and analysis.I think it is safe to say that this is now the low point of President Obama's Presidency .... the question that remains to be answered is .... will it go down even more.
I don't regret my first vote for Obama , but I deeply regret my second . There are plenty of haters , whom he never had a chance with .... I was pulling for him though , and he has completely lost all my faith.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Latest world News Pro-democracy demonstrations have been taking place all over Hong Kong, and the police have pulled back after a recent clash left more than 40 people injured. Demonstrators have blocked the streets of the financial center, leaving traffic at a stand still.
ReplyDeleteTravis .... don't kick yourself. The Republican choice was not inspiring .... and that is the other side of the problem. As voters we all need to have a reason to vote .... to have someone to inspire us and to give us a belief that we have a real hope for a better future .... and if that reason is not there .... why vote. I do not live in the U.S. .... I just look at it from the outside .... but I have never seen Washington this dysfunctional and this disconnected from the American public as it is today. The people deserve better .... and you know what .... I have confidence that when we least expect it .... that person will show up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rene for the lead. I am reading up on what is happening in Hong Kong right now .... and I am preparing my post right now.
ReplyDeleteObama had a Democrat congress run by Nancy Pelosi and harry Reid for his 1st 2 years. He had plenty of chances.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping he would be good. I have bi-racial kids. I was hoping he would help America's race problem. he has done no such thing. This is very important to me.. I did not think what is happening in Ukraine could happen. I was wrong. Similar things can happen in America. It can happen here.
Ramirez has been lampooning them for awhile now, it's only in the last 3 weeks the others have started to also.
ReplyDeleteI have been following Ramirez for years .... he cracks me up all the time. But you are right James .... it has only been in the past few weeks that some people are waking up.
ReplyDeleteHe'll continue to get jumped on as the press works their battlespace prep for Queen Hillary.
ReplyDelete2016: Hillary (unless she implodes so badly even the MSM cannot fool us into thinking she got elected)
2020: Hillary II
2024: Whichever other liberal clown they plan to annoint.
