Obama, Outed: If Only (If he’s bored, we’d be more than happy to let him leave.)

SEPTEMBER 1, 2014 Obama, Outed: If Only If he’s bored, we’d be more than happy to let him leave. By Quin Hillyer

Just resign already. Go. Be gone. Vamoose. Get out of our lives. More important: Stop endangering all of us with your self-indulgent vacations and self-absorbed dithering, along with unconstitutional domestic power plays while the whole world burns.

Barack Obama already is derelict in his duties as commander in chief. He ought to abdicate and just step off his self-made throne.

Knowledgeable people were calling for Obama to begin air strikes against the Islamic State barbarians months before Obama could rouse himself to admit that the brutes were something other than “jayvee” terrorists. Because he didn’t, thousands of innocents died, villages were razed, churches were destroyed, thousands more were left homeless, and vast swaths of territory were lost to purveyors of pure, unadulterated evil.

And now, after several years of the Islamic State rising, after half a year of its being obvious that the Islamic State is a new sort of threat, after a couple of months of vicious terror of a sort even this troubled modern world has rarely seen, and after the Islamic State beheaded an American journalist on camera, we have a man pretending to be president who tells the world that the leaders of the globe’s most powerful nation still “don’t have a strategy yet” for the situation.

An excellent expose of the Obama administration’s failures can be found in this excellent article below by Bret Stevens, a WSJ reporter.

Any other president in my lifetime who has "blundered" as much as Obama would be getting utterly disemboweled by the press.

That includes Carter and maybe even Clinton.

But for his blackness Obama is untouchable.

He’s not bored, he’s smarter than Bush and he’s cleaning up the mess, and just needed a couple more years because Bush’s mess was so big. Even the voters knew he just needs more time.

If he were to leave,I hope there are just two other things he would do at the same time. Take his hangers-on with him,& make sure to watch out for that spring-loaded back door.

“In other words I need a strategy to make it appear like I’m doing something when in fact I’m actually doing nothing except allowing Isis to get a good strong foothold in Iraq.”

Damn the Democrats for doing this to the people of Iraq. Traitors, all.

I imagine—just as John spoke of THE antichrist to come and there also being “many antichrists” all along the way—there is THE “man of lawlessness” as well as many men of lawlessness.

Obama is one of the many of BOTH, methinks.

Exactly. Obama is already in retirement mode. Biden would want to "do something". We're probably better off with Obama working on his golf game for the next two years.

He’s not bored.

He’s in way over his head.

Or, he’s a plant and couldn’t care less.

If you go read the article and recall nobama’s threat to “fundamentally change America,” all is going to plan.

Alinsky, Cloward and Piven must surely be proud. Their dream is coming true. And it will be much more than they had hoped for.

Obama is hiding behind government unions. He is behaving like a reprobate cop who is kept on the job on an excuse waggon.

Obama delayed taking action or even acknowledging any danger to Iraq because he was using the fear of ISIS, and the threat to withhold U.S. air power, to force Nouri al-Maliki out of office. It turned into a game of chicken.
