What Obama still hasn't figured out about being President
Yahoo ^ | 1/30/14 | Matt Bai

With three years left in his presidency, Obama still has time to be something like the generational figure a lot of Americans hoped he would be, forcibly pulling government into the digital world. Or he can spend his time working the phones and signing small orders with his pen, sort of like the most powerful claims adjuster on earth.

On-the-job training is not appropriate for The Presidency

Obama and his handlers have it figured better than most. Their mission was to disarm and reconfigure America. Their secondary mission was to destroy the Republican party.

Check and check.

Measuring by their intended goals, this presidency is wildly successful.

Mr. K:" On-the-job training is not appropriate for The Presidency"

There is no leadership ,.. only more campaigning !
What else can you expect from an orator who only says:"Present" ..
unless a teleprompter is available .

He hasn’t “figured out” how to tell the truth. Which is important in any capacity.

to start off....if he wasn’t a narcissistic POS, HE WOULD HAVE TURNED DOWN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE that he received before doing anything besides being a street hustler.

Egypt’s Morsi and our Democrat’s Obama have the same Muslim Brotherhood mentality, and thus are opposed to the Common Law basis of American Culture.

The American-based logic system falls on the deaf ears of both men.

Both men have a “Big Picture” mentality of destroying their existing societies in order to establish their version of the Muslim Brotherhood System of governance.

Their responses during and after the 2012 Benghazi Murders were the most revealing insights into their shared Muslim Brotherhood values.

Neither Morsi or Obama can be reasoned with by their countrymen. Their Muslim Brotherhood Mentality prevents them from doing so.

Egypt has figured all this is out, when will America do the same?

Obama’s about to get a huge amnesty passed for illegals-turned-Democrat voters without lifting a finger.

The GOPe are doing his transformative work for him.

“Obama still has time to be something like [what] Americans hoped he would be, forcibly pulling government into the digital world.”

Really? What that the hope & change we were waiting for - gov’t to be pulled into the digital world?

I see success and failure on this score. He’s got the NSA with digital records of every phone call ever made - so, success! He’s dropping drone bombs on terrorists around the globe, I think that counts as a digital success too.

But, on the other side of the scale - the epic failure of Obamacare’s exchanges.

Nevertheless, when history looks back at Obama the digitization of government (success or failure) will not be what is remembered about him.

since a small number of Republican lawmakers have effectively decided to thwart the public will, Obama must resort to doing the things he can do on his own,

So glad the writer deigns to tell us about the 'public' will

When your enemy is destroying himself, stay out of the way.

Obama did so, only occasionally throwing some fuel on the fire. If the situation were reversed, the Republicans would find a way to catastrophically wound themselves and save the Democrats.

While I agree, the Republicans would have destroyed themselves anyway, it was an intended goal of Obama’s and it happened on his watch. He gets the credit in my book.

When indeed?

Yes, Egypt knows there is no way to negotiate with terrorists.

And yet, Obama has multiple high level advisers who are Muslim Brotherhood members/promoters.

Until we primary complicit Republican officials and expose fully the crimes of the ComDems, we cannot begin to overcome this.

These beg for impeachment proceedings, but until we regain the Senate that is impossible.

Evidence on Mohamed Mursi’s direct link to terror acts in Egypt (like lawless Obama)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3117047/posts

This article reinforces the parallels between Deposed Egyptian President Morsi (Mursi) and Obama.

Obama helped put Morsi in Power, paid top Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt and battled hard to force Morsi back in power after the Egyptian people rebelled to his clearly unconstitutional power grab.

Both Morsi and Obama practiced voter fraud to get elected.

But it is even more clear that both Morsi and Obama had the same style in office. That of totally ignoring the rule of law and siding repeatedly with Terrorists.

Morsi and Obama intended/intend to destroy their nation and replace the government with a foreign structure. That in my book is the Highest Treason.

“Egypt has figured all this is out, when will America do the same?”

The left has changed the language, imposed political correctness and made it impossible to have a conversation on the subject. To even discus it is a crime against diversity. They believe in “moderate Muslims” like small children believe in Santa Claus.

We will believe and discuss only after a much larger event than 9/11. Hundreds of thousands must perish, including the Left’s icons. The Left is like an alcoholic and diversity and global warming (and other fanciful stuff) is their drug. They have to want to kick it. Until then even discussing it with them is a waste of time.
