A President Whose Assurances Have Come Back to Haunt Him
Posted on 9/9/14 at 8:27 am
Posted on 9/9/14 at 8:27 am
When President Obama addresses the nation on Wednesday to explain his plan to defeat Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria, it is a fair bet he will not call them the “JV team.”
Nor does he seem likely to describe Iraq as “sovereign, stable and self-reliant” with a “representative government.” And presumably he will not assert after more than a decade of conflict that “the tide of war is receding.”
As he seeks to rally Americans behind a new military campaign in the Middle East, Mr. Obama finds his own past statements coming back to haunt him. Time and again, he has expressed assessments of the world that in the harsh glare of hindsight look out of kilter with the changed reality he now confronts.

It's almost as if he is full of shite and being full of shite is not serving him well.

The Presidency of Obama has been an unadulterated failure...not because he didn't have the opportunity to make it a success....but because his narcissism would not allow him to ever think that he was wrong....about anything!!

Wow, you hate America or something? Who thinks of such things.

Look. It wasn't his choice to end the war in Iraq. Why do you hate black people?

We were inoculated by basic competencies of past Presidents and assumed (as a country) that really anyone could do the job. I'm not convinced Obama could run an Ace hardware, let alone our country.

I suspect its going to be largely an "its not my fault" speech.

But the reality of being an executive (whether government or otherwise) is that you have to deal with the reality you were handed. Bush should have never had to deal with OBL. Clinton should have taken him. But that's what happens when you're the fricking President. You can't look at every one of your own miscalculations and say "well, that's part of a larger issue I didn't cause." No shite. History extends back past his election in 2008.

We can't go back into Iraq !
We don't have a Status of Forces Agreement, for Pete's Sake!!!
Besides, who cares about some JV team?

That is totally irrelevant.
Obama knew we were there when he announced his bid for the White House. He wanted the job. He got the job.
Time to do the job. Just sticking his nose in the air and giving speeches ain't getting it done.
