Ignatius has set out a well reasoned argumentation for his position rather than casting aspersions. Objective vice subjective is in the "eye of the beholder" and depends on how open one's mind is to other thoughts and opinions.<br />If one can present any objective analysis of Obama's successes that will stand up to scrutiny them it would be nice to read.<br />I would posit that Obama has set the conditions for the next big war by his incompetence, his being in thrall to the environmental movement and desire to transform us into a bystander on the world stage.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-61681889741408883982014-11-16T17:13:06.434-08:002014-11-16T17:13:06.434-08:00"Ha, nice try, but there's no an ounce of..."Ha, nice try, but there's no an ounce of objective observation here."<br /><br />I could say that's true for both IAC and AE.

We knew nothing about him. He denied his mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the story vanished. The mainstream news media made fools of themselves, spouting superlatives and euphoria. Oprah said he was "The One." He won in 2008, to wide acclaim, heralded as a messiah figure. Obama won 52.9% of the popular vote, defeating a similarly narcissistic Republican candidate, and amidst a near-meltdown of the economy. <br /><br />Then Obama showed his cards early as he governed with a strong Democrat majority. Viciously partisan legislating, using race for advantage, and constantly campaigning behind teleprompters. Anytime he spoke extemporaneously, he embarrassed himself. He went around the globe on an apology tour, telling the world there is nothing exceptional about the country he was elected to lead. After all, he is a "citizen of the world," whatever that's supposed to mean.<br /><br />Then Obama ran for reelection in 2012, against a man who has remarkable accomplishments and excellent credentials. Obama had nothing to run on except the disastrous medical "reform" legislation that bears his name. We still have yet to see the full effects of ObamaCare, but the drip-drip-drip sneak previews are not encouraging. The "great uniter" appointed Eric Holder as a hack Attorney General who dabbles in race issues, runs guns, and cries foul about ID voting requirements that are less stringent than those required for a citizen to visit the AG at the Justice Department. And then we had a Bin Laden kill operation hatched by people who thought Iraq was a mistake and Gitmo cruel... and yet have never closed Gitmo. The post-9/11 spy state expands. We had our first diplomat killed in 30+ years, and we're told it was over a homemade internet video about Mohammed. And we learn Obama operatives use the IRS to intimidate citizen opponents of its policies. <br /><br />Anyway, Obama had nothing to run on in 2012, so his team executed a strategy to destroy Romney's reputation, define his motivations, and label him a plutocrat. Obama won the 2012 election. <br /><br />He's delivered terrible change, and no hope. And we wonder why we now find him so despicable? <br /><br />One word describes President Obama: charlatan.Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-43385120372955519592014-11-15T11:28:46.692-08:002014-11-15T11:28:46.692-08:00And he won't until Valerie and Michelle tell h...And he won't until Valerie and Michelle tell him.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.com
