Now who’s the go-it-alone cowboy? Obama has damaged relations with the UK, France, the Czech Republic, and Poland, which even Joe Biden was forced to admit yesterday. Instead, Obama has focused his friendlier attention on Russia and Iran. What has Obama and the US received in return? Laughter over Hillary Clinton’s amateurish “reset button” and zero cooperation on Iranian nuclear weapons. And this is “smart power”?
Of course it’s not. It’s more stupidity from a President even dumber and less competent than not just his predecessor, but even legendary epic fails like Jimmy Carter.
Okay, cue the chorus of “Who could have imagined Obama would be this incompetent this fast?”
Answer: Me.

Bill Q:
I imagined that the Won would put the country into the dumper as bad as he already has and even worse. But not due to incompetence; I believe he is moderately competent (at least his handlers are). Rather it’s due to anti-American goals. If you read Marxist/Communist literature (Marx/Engels, Gramsci, Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, etc.) and pay attention to the backgrounds of advisors, it’s clear what principals and goals are driving both the policies and tactics of the Whitehouse gang.
What I find somewhat surprising is the speed of it. This may be a grave tactical error in that it is awakening a “sleeping giant” and threatening to widely manifest O’s hidden agenda. In the old “boiling frog” metaphor, they have turned up the heat too high/fast and the frog is catching on. Depending on developments over the next few months, this tactical error merits an interim “C” in competence, at best.
