Mr. Obama Goes to War

The chattering class and the politicians on both sides of the aisle have all issued opinions about Mr. Obama's Afghanistan strategy. Those who tuned in to Obama's West Point, NY address need no interpretation from the media to be persuaded about the reception of his speech.

Many of America's finest, brightest and best educated youth were sitting in the audience. Their reaction to the presentation was telling. Although they were polite and well disciplined, there was no Hurray in their reaction.

There was something on their faces that expressed resentment for being made the backdrop of the "Mr. Obama Goes to War" theatrical production. Americans have seen the same expression on the faces of US military prisoners paraded in front of enemy cameras for propaganda.

And every seasoned officer sitting in the auditorium wore his or her best poker face. As expected, there was polite applause, but it was obvious that few of America's tested warriors embraced the man standing behind the title of President.

It's sadly apparent that Obama is no leader and has no life experiences that allow him to reach out and actually light the torch that generations of Americans have followed. He can't speak beyond the teleprompter; he can't feel the words; he can't rally America's patriots.

He has no substance. He doesn't have the soul of an American. He can't relate to their aspirations and is confounded by their self-reliance.

He is a pretender. Americans were deceived. They elected a man with sensational acting skills and great charm, a man completely satisfied with positive personal reviews, even though the production is panned and the theater closed.

It's his absorption-with-self that no words on a teleprompter can camouflage. He is a needy little person whose ambitions outpaced his capability. There is no character behind the image, no backbone behind the style, no knowledge behind the ascertains.

All the majority of Americans wanted to hear from Obama was that the United States will unleash forces dedicated to the eradication of the Islamic jihadist cockroaches. He didn't have to mention that it will cost money; money he has already squandered undermining America's might.

The statement just proved that he doesn't have his priorities in the correct order. To placate his socialist base, he had already thrown the CIA and New York's 9/11 survivors to the pack of wolves who gorge themselves on political correctness.

This was the big "if" in his commitment to the troops. In a few words he told our warriors that they could depend on his support unless Pelosi and Reid need the money for some welfare scheme. Nice, huh?

Our sympathy should go out to our warriors and their friends and families. No! Not because they will be in harm's way. Because they will be betrayed by a narcissistic, socialist twit who is living his fantasy.
