With US embassy staff fleeing Libya flanked by an armed escort WR Mead pens a nicely focused piece of bitterly sarcastic anger regarding the grotesquery that is Obama's foreign policy and the further obscenity of the national media trying desperately to hide this farce from the American people.
But luckily for Team Obama, the mainstream press would rather die than subject liberal Democrats to the critiques it reserves for the GOP. So instead, as Libya writhes in agony, reputations and careers move on. The news is so bad, and the President’s foreign policy is collapsing on so many fronts, that it is impossible to keep the story off the front pages. “Smart diplomacy” has become a punch line, and the dream Team Obama had of making Democrats the go-to national security party is as dead as the passenger pigeon. But what the press can do for the White House it still, with some honorable exceptions, labors to accomplish: it will, when it must, report the dots. But it will try not to connect them, and it will do what it can to let all the people involved in the Libya debacle move on to the next and higher stage of their careers.It's troubling enough to have an awful president who either may be one of the most incompetent leaders a great power has ever had - or, may be so delusional or arrogant that he actually believes that if not for those racist Republicans getting in his way everything would just be moving along swimmingly - or, most worrisome of all, may in fact in the manner of a truly committed left wing zealot be doing exactly what he set out to do to the country - all that's troubling enough, but that trouble will be magnified several times over in the coming years if because of a biased media that cannot or will not come to terms with how utterly misguided they were about Dear Leader the electorate never comes to fully appreciate that making a left wing ideologue like Obama chief executive of a country like America was a very, very bad idea that should never ever be repeated if you have any hopes of this great country remaining that city on a hill with the eyes of all upon us.
