Syria... well, that's turning into a farce, yes? Obama last night says he hasn't made a decision on Syria yet even though everything said and done over the last week strongly suggests that's a lie that may be a precursor to a backing out of doing something - it's almost as if it's Obama's goal to ruin the country through inept leadership - I guess those angry white-America hating sermons from Rev Wright really did hit home. But hey, maybe Wright was right - after all, we did elect a guy twice who seems intent on destroying the country - the fact that a presidency as bad as Carter's would actually be a significant upgrade at this point is hardly a ringing endorsement of the innate wisdom of the silent majority.
The Obama era is like a constant reminder of how fragile a thing democracy can be and that without an objective, informed, critical voice speaking truth to power things can really start to go to hell fast - liberal elite wanted Obama over Hillary even though his only seeming qualification was that he was a charming black guy, which really isn't a qualification at all except in some liberal elite fantasy land, and they got their wish; liberal elite wanted him over McCain, therefore McCain knew he had no chance without a game changer, enter Palin, goodbye election, and again liberal elite gets its wish; and even though his first term was clearly a failure and the country looked to be in dire need of a change of direction, liberal elite really didn't like the way Romney treated his dog and weren't about to admit being wrong about Obama anyway and so, well, here the fuck we are.
All joking aside - what the christ is happening? There can't be a leader in the Mideast who isn't sitting up nights wondering what they do now given that America is clearly being run by fools. Reminds me of something I read a few days ago, can't remember where, but said the Saudis were in deep talks with Russia about security arrangements and other things because they had become convinced that either Obama was so clueless or so contemptuous of the traditions of American power that they could no longer trust in the country's intentions. Don't know if it's true, but wouldn't really come as a shock if it was.
