President Obama needs to focus on how the United States can meet global challenges
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
My sixth grade school teacher would frequently remind us students that the last four letters of American spelled "I can". Now it looks like we live in "Ameri-Can't". Even the Liberal Washington Post is shocked and dismayed by President Obama's "can't do" attitude. Well hey WP that's what you voted for.... isn't it? No more wars and no more meddling in other countries' affairs? So make up your mind!
But really WP don't worry, our President DOES have plan, he just dare not tell us about it. Like they say, a shrewd businessman doesn't tell anybody what his marketing plan is, he just executes it. Even the Marxists seem to be able to figure that much out.

Latest Big Lie- 'We Have No Strategy'
http://pjmedia.com/
By Epictetus
“The central theme in Obama’s outreach to Iran is his conviction that the United States has historically played a wicked role in the Middle East, and that the best things he can do for that part of the world is to limit and withdraw American military might, and empower our self-declared enemies, whose hostility to traditional American policies he largely shares.”
“…It is even more unlikely that Mr. Obama and his spokespeople will confess to actually having a strategy, because of the political firestorm that would result. Better to be thought a fool than to remove all doubt, after all.”As with all the other radical Leftist politicians, our President cannot be completely honest about what he wants to accomplish lest people freak out and become motivated to put up some serious opposition to his policies. Our President believes that what he is doing is ultimately for everyone’s own good, whether they understand that or not, so better not to tell the people what’s really going on. Of course this is all appears to be duplicitous to the point of irrationality, but we must keep in mind that President Obama’s priority is to transform America into a socialist state ruled by one party (the Democrat Party), so he’s sees these foreign affairs as mostly an unwelcome distraction. As the article states, what our President DOES want to accomplish in foreign affairs is to undo all of America’s “meddling” in other countries’ affairs, particularly in the Middle East. The long term consequences of President Obama’s actions is that the other nations of the world will come to believe that the USA has lost its nerve and become “harmless as an enemy and treacherous as a friend’. That is to say our enemies abroad will no longer fear us and our friends will no longer trust us. Besides that we’re broke and everyone knows it.

White House scrambles to 'clarify' Obama's 'no strategy' remark
Well the Obama Administration DOES understand that they need to PRETEND to care about what happens in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Ukraine et al, even though they have no intention of taking any meaningful action, in order to maintain a modicum of world stability.

Obama under fire for admitting no 'strategy yet' for ISIS in Syria
http://www.foxnews.com/
-strategy-yet-for-isis-in-
Actually it would probably astonish and terrify people to learn how little our President really cares about what happens in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He doesn't believe America has any right or interest to be in any of those countries in the first place. So what happens there happens as far as he is concerned. Things will eventually work out by themselves according to his view of history. And besides, there are oceans between the
USA and ISIS so how will they figure out how to get at us? Libya and Ukraine are also places we have no business getting involved in either in his estimation. Continuing the transformation of the USA occupies a much higher priority for President Obama than any foreign policy issue (save for disarmament), no matter how threatening to peace and stability they might appear to be to the rest of us. Naturally it is much more comforting for people to imagine that President Obama is "in over his head" and therefore might eventually be persuaded to take more appropriate action (as even Jimmy Carter was after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) than to believe that our President has made up his mind on the matter and doesn't intend to get involved in any meaningful way.

"President Obama is facing intense criticism for admitting Thursday "we don't have a strategy yet" for dealing with Islamic State militants in Syria, despite warnings from top military advisers and others that the group must be confronted on that side of the border."
"The president made the comment during a briefing with reporters in which he overtly played down the prospect of any imminent military action in Syria. He tried to temper speculation that he was about to roll out a "full scale" strategy, one that might expand the current, limited airstrike campaign in northern Iraq."
"I don't want to put the cart before the horse. We don't have a strategy yet," Obama said."

Obama Fails History 101-He believes history follows some predetermined course
FYI: Many of the American Left’s favorite philosophers , particularly Hagel and Marx, taught that history follows a predestined course. Particularly that capitalism was destined to become extinct and be replaced by socialism and eventually “true communism”, where money won’t be needed and the government will “wither away” because it too will no longer be needed. Likewise, President Obama, being a Marxist revolutionary himself, believes in this “inevitability” of history as well. Being a Marxist he believes in many things that aren’t true and have never been made to work anywhere. Nevertheless, like all other American Leftists he believes that the only reason communism hasn’t worked is because the “right people” haven’t tried it yet. The Russians tried it, but they were just too backwards and bumbling to make a go of it, bless their hearts. So now it’s up to the American Left to give it a try. They are the people they have been waiting for.
As VDH points out President Obama is also sloppy on the details of history. But that doesn’t matter, because since most Americans today know so little about their own history, he knows he can tell them anything he wants and they’ll have to believe it.

The Obama Agenda Never Goes on Vacation
I’m certain Rush is right. Our President may appear detached and uninterested, but the reality is that he simply doesn’t feel he has to explain himself to anybody any longer. Not to Congress, the People or the Press. That is why he seldom holds press conferences any longer. Nor does he feel he needs to persuade anyone or gain anyone’s cooperation in order to advance his agenda at this point. He is simply going to do what he wants until his term in office expires. His loyal minions are firmly in position in the government to carry out his wishes. They already know what to do, so he doesn’t even have to meet with them and give them instructions. He can just go on vacation and play golf and everything will still happen according to plan.
By Epictetus
“And I told everybody, he's not checked out. He isn't bored. He's not lazy, and he doesn't not care. This is a structured, calculated political stratagem to appear detached, to appear as though he's not engaged, so as to lull everybody into a false sense of belief that nothing's happening, so as to lull everybody into this -- almost like a safe zone, that Obama's given up. He doesn't even try anymore. It's so bad, Obama knows he can't get anything done anymore, he doesn't care. “
“...Obama may go on vacation, ladies and gentlemen. The Obama agenda never, ever goes on vacation. The Obama agenda never, ever slows down. The Obama agenda doesn't even have very much in its way.“

The Presidency is Breaking Obama Even As Obama Has Broken the Nation
One of the nation’s best radio talk show hosts, Hugh Hewitt, interviewed Joe Scarborough, the host of one of the best political shows on television. According to Mr. Scarborough
This is a president that does go out of his way to show that he’s not paying attention to what anybody says. He’s going to do exactly what he wants to do, and he’s going to be stubborn about it. He is politically, he is either politically tone deaf or he just doesn’t give a damn. And I tend to believe based on everything I’ve heard from people who work inside the White House, and we’ve got a lot of friends there, and based on my friends who are senior Democratic senators, this president has checked out… He wants to be the next, I hear it time and time again from his close political allies. This man wants to be an ex-president.
So the president — with crises breaking out across the globe, the economy still staggering, and unrest and despair in America rising — seems to have grown bored with the job. This is on one level an astonishing thing; on the other, it has the ring of truth. I say that in part because Mr. Scarborough is speaking to Democrats, not simply Republicans, on this matter. His sources are excellent. Yet one also sees Obama’s indifference in how he conducts himself, as well asstories leaked by the White House about his “restlessness.”
What could possibility explain this attitude? It may be that Mr. Obama was drawn to the job not for the right reasons but because he viewed the presidency as a new mountain to climb, a prize to win, as a way to feed his unusually large ego (even for a politician). It may also be that Mr. Obama, with his presidency crumbling, is like a petulant child who wants to pick up his marbles and leave. He was fine serving as president when he was adored and well liked; now that things are going south he appears to have emotionally “checked out,” to use Scarborough’s phrase.
The problem with this is that Mr. Obama is disengaging (a) after having done extraordinary damage to America and (b) at a moment when the world is convulsing because of the void left by Obama’s (and therefore America’s) diffidence and passivity. An increasingly insouciant commander-in-chief is not what’s needed at this particular time, given the multiplying threats and increasing disorder in the world.
It’s very much beginning to look at if Barack Obama saw the presidency as primarily a way to satisfy his narcissism. What’s happened instead is the presidency is breaking him, even as he is breaking the nation.
