Barack Obama, Derelict
Americdan Thinker ^ | November 19, 2013 | Ed Lasky

Derelict: ('derəˌlikt/) neglectful of duty, delinquent; a person guilty of neglect of duty; a bum. SYNONYM-see Obama, Barack.

A thought experiment can be useful to explain why America is in a mess.

Let's take Barack Obama at his word -- a stretch certainly for anyone who would lie about his own mother's death to score partisan points will lie about...well, anything. But let's put the most positive spin on what President Obama has been conveying to his fellow Americans. One can try to be optimistic even in these perilous times -- it is one of the great traits of being American.

Barack Obama and those who serve at his whim have declared that he knew nothing about the IRS witch-hunt of Republicans, spying by the NSA on Americans and foreign leaders, Fast and Furious, ObamaCare website problems, that he actually set red lines regarding Syria (though he denied it later), security problems at the Benghazi consulate, and spying on the Associated Press. When asked, Obama has asserted that he learned about all these problems only after reading about them in the media. Who knew our presidents would model themselves after Sergeant Schultz on the old Hogan Heroes television series (Obama has admitted he watched a lot of television when he was younger -- and some with reason believe he still does).

What conclusions can be drawn from these excuses? One is immediately apparent: the sequester did not go far and deep enough. After all, we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars and the president of the United States has to rely on newspapers to be informed of what is happening in his own administration.

Where’s the evidence the DOJ spied on the AP? Crickets! That is a red herring to make Americans think the DOJ didn’t JUST spy on Fox News.. But they were ONLY gathering election intelligence (and Romney) on Fox News, NOT the AP. Where’s the evidence? We have a bogus DOJ criminal warrant on James Rosen, but NOTHING on the AP.

Never have so many covered so hard for so long a disaster in office by the name of Obama.

Not sure what sins WE as a people are being punished for..

for feeding nations, freeing nations, sending our sons and daughters to die for others liberty and freedom?

and then you have the most corrupt administration ever.. indifferent, disconnected, yet dedicated to an agenda, ..

It makes ya wonder why CONgre$$ is so fearful, has become so inept in dealing with tyranny that itself now continences it.. while the media BSes us with stuff Goebbels and Stalin would be proud to author.

No.

For the deaths of innocents. Millions of them. Even glorying in it. Gosnell’s baby feet in a jar.

Chris Matthews and the New York Times boys wouldn't understand the above reference... Odd how grown men can live in a state of denial... when lies benefit them...

Very well said.

Every word true and I’d add the tyrant in the WH supports our enemy (terrorists) in many cases while the media continues their praise of him.

We’re being sold out by him and way too many in Congress, the Tea Party is needed more than ever.

Amen, both Chrissy and the NYT will deny the truth if it benefits their agenda in the least and they do.

I think a better word would be sociopath. He’s not guilty of neglect when it is his intention to destroy this country.

A derelict is also a boat adrift with no one at the helm.
That fits too.

Primarily for kicking God out of it’s institutions and schools. It’s been downhill ever since.

“I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary.”

Show me one shred of evidence that his IQ is higher than 95.
