Dinesh D'Souza has a new movie out called America: Imagine A World Without Her - but we don't really have to "imagine", it's happening before our eyes. Nothing difficult and complicated about it: in this decline and fall, the Emperor simply went fundraising.
At any rate, Jamie Weinstein sat in for Hugh Hewitt this week, and took me on a brisk trot round current topics:
MARK STEYN: Well, what's going on in the world is of very little interest to President Fundraiser. He's got other priorities, and the rest of the planet, as I believe it's marked on the State Department maps, can go take a hike... There's a vacuum of American power. And John Kerry is the physical presence of American absence. Nobody wants to see him. Nobody wants to do the handshake. Nobody wants to pose for photographs.
And then there's Ukraine:
JAMIE WEINSTEIN: It looks like Putin far from being cowed after this tragedy of the taking down of the Malaysian Airliner... he is now giving more weaponry to these Russian-backed separatists, and maybe actually shelling some of the Ukrainian military from Russia. Does that surprise you that he's not backing down?
MS: No... What happened since the downing of the jet is intentional. Putin looked at Obama on TV... He is supposed to be the 'leader of the free world'. And he rejects that role. He doesn't believe in the concept of the free world, and he doesn't believe in America as leader of it. And that was what he was communicating. Putin got the message, even if the boobs at The New York Times didn't, and Putin has acted accordingly.
On the other hand, Obama is "pivoting" to the economy - by proposing to make America's corporate tax regime even more uncompetitive....

2nd. Amendment solution.
Both Obama and Putin hate America, hate freedom and think America should be destroyed.
Besides the gay thing, they are both on the same page.
Good read. Steyn just about covered it.
Okay, but Mr. Putin is the leader of another country that’s been in opposition to the United States since 1917. Mr. Obama is the putative head of our government. I would expect him to be on “our” side whereas I wouldn’t be surprised that the leader of Russia is not allied with our ideals and goals. See the difference?
Yes of course. I never claimed otherwise.
Well, we’ve had our own contingent right here damning the U. S. for not withdrawing it’s head under it’s shell. We’re going to see how that plays out. It isn’t going to be the peace and bliss those folks swore it would be.
The world is going to hell in a hand-basket, and we’ll start out from scratch with no allies that will trust us, after we’ve withdrawn and abandoned them all previously.

He doesn't even believe in the concept of America, attempting to dissolve the southern border. Nations are just SO passé.

Steyn, as usual, nails it in a few sentences.
Putin’s got 0bama’s number and his number is numbah 10...
Absolutely love Mark, he always hits the nail right on the head.
BTTT
>> He is supposed to be the ‘leader of the free world’.
His leadership doesn’t concern ‘the free world.’
