Politico Excoriates Obama's Foreign Policy

[deacon blues]

Brutal article calling it like they see it. Most devastating line: "What we have been witnessing the past few weeks, in real time, is the intellectual collapse of Obama’s foreign policy, accompanied by its rapid political unraveling. When Al Franken is ripping you for lacking a strategy against ISIL in Syria, you have a problem."

Another zinger:

"Our good intentions, as Obama defines them, got us nothing. We elected a president with the middle name of Hussein who did all he could to liquidate George W. Bush’s foreign policy and made outreach to the Muslim world one of his top priorities — yet the terror threat has grown."

The last few paragraphs---WOW:

The most prominent figure who is out of step with this new zeitgeist is President Obama. The other day he explained that things aren’t as bad as they seem because social media is amplifying events. He has gone from blaming George W. Bush to blaming Instagram.

Does anyone really believe that if we were reading about a radical terror group of unspeakable savagery sweeping through the Middle East in the print editions of newspapers instead of on Twitter it would seem any less alarming?

The social media excuse is another evasion by a president who wants to avoid speaking too forthrightly about the threat of ISIL, lest he commit himself to the forceful action necessary to defeat it.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, President Obama has said of President Bush’s alleged approach to the world, every problem looks like a nail. By the same token, when the only tool you have is retreat, every problem looks “manageable.”

Couple that with this article, Deacon.

The Clinton Machine Is Alive

History may ultimately consider Obama’s 2008 nomination as a representation not of progressivism’s resurgent appeal, but as its death rattle—a speed bump along the way to the Democratic Party’s becoming a fully corporatist, Clinton-owned entity.

Obama will cost Hillary the election in 2016

[n david]

What do you expect from an affirmative-action elected community organizer? I was wrong on one thing, though. I knew he would trash the US by the time he was out of office, I just didn't realize he would do so with the rest of the civilized world.

obama makes people wish Jimmy Carter could be President again. What a buffoon!

I hope that is true. The article from Commentary has some strong merits to her winning. We will have to watch what the GOP Establishment does, once again, as to their candidate on a win or lose. We knew we would lose with Mitt. Let's see how they treat everyone else this go round.

This is the latest 2016 prediction for Republican presidential hopefuls.

A Top Political Analyst Just Ranked The Top 10 GOP 2016 Candidates

1. Jeb Bush - gag me with a spoon

"We hate succumbing to the consensus, but he's the favorite — if he wants the nomination. We think Jeb hasn't decided yet; there are family concerns and strong differences with the GOP base on key issues. But the base wants a winner, and this is a talented and intelligent politician who could give Hillary Clinton a tougher challenge than any of the others on this list."

I agree with this article that Mike Pence may possibly be a VP pick.

On a side note, latest article from Rand Paul concerning his foreign policy view, which has been his view all along, even after being majorly distorted by whoever wants to hit him.

Rand Paul: ‘I Am Not an Isolationist’

Some pundits are surprised that I support destroying the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) militarily. They shouldn’t be. I’ve said since I began public life that I am not an isolationist, nor am I an interventionist. I look at the world, and consider war, realistically and constitutionally.

I still see war as the last resort. But I agree with Reagan’s idea that no country should mistake U.S. reluctance for war for a lack of resolve.

Where we are right now in American politics, according to The Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners - 70% of Americans believe we are on the wrong track, 69% of Republicans expected to vote this November as opposed to 57% of Democrats, both parties are "evenly" upset with their parties putting ALL incumbents on notice.

Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney were recently interviewed and still hitting against the Tea Party who support both Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see these people support Jeb Bush to run against Hillary.
