Dreaming is not a governing strategy
To the editor:
President Obama, without any practical experience, along with dopey advisers, and filled with a pompous and arrogant persona, believes that viewing the world as he would like it to be, as opposed to how things really are, is the path to a successful presidency.
No doubt that his distorted views serve to provide a pathway to a tragic failure!
As the world becomes more and more dangerous, and his attitude and ineptness shows itself to be more obvious with each passing day America flounders while begging for leadership.
The Obama glaring list of failures and disappointments include:
Playing golf minutes after the James Foley beheading. Ignoring the ISIS threat for a year, refusing to declare war against this viscous group, and allowing them to grow in Syria and seize weapons, money and power. Funding the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza and denouncing Israel in general. Ignoring the murder and religious cleansing of Christians in Iraq and other countries. Ignoring the shooting down of Malaysian flight 17 airliner and Putin’s involvement. Ignoring the flood of Central American immigrants at our border while fundraising in Texas but refusing to even look. Ignoring the disgraceful VA scandal and the deaths it has so far caused. Never speaking out against the murder of millions of babies in the womb each year thus permitting America to be viewed as stupid and barbaric.
And there’s more, so much more, displays of insensitivity and foolhardiness. However, the ultimate danger to America is not Barack Obama – it’s a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president – and then defend his misguided actions.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool.
It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president!
Our hope at this time is that the founders’ direction from the writings of The Ten Commandments will serve as the defining tool as the nation struggles to recover from the damage done.
This would give God a reason to Bless America.
