During the past six years, some Republicans and conservatives have described President Obama and his administration as totally incompetent. I have harshly criticized those who would use such incendiary language because it showed total disrespect for the office of the presidency.Though I still think this language is totally inappropriate, I have come to agree with the point they were trying to make: this administration is in way over its head. Obama and his team constantly lie to the American people (IRS, Benghazi, illegal immigration), they put the interests of others before the interests of Americans, and they are obsessed with the notion of being “liked.”
Two weeks ago, President Obama told us that he “intends to destroy the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) without putting American boots on the ground.” Everyone who follows politics and foreign policy knew Obama was lying. This is what his former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, had to say, “There will be boots on the ground if there’s to be any hope of success in the strategy… I think that by continuing to repeat that [there will be no boots on the ground], the president in effect traps himself.”
Obama refuses to admit the obvious simply because of the upcoming mid-term elections. His liberal base would defect en masse from Democratic candidates all across the country if he actually told the truth.

“Then again, this is the same president who has constantly lied to those in the country illegally about giving them amnesty by executive fiat. He has now promised to do it after the elections in November. Remember, one of the main tenants of liberalism is “intent.” Obama will argue that he didn’t “intend” to put boots on the ground, but circumstances on the ground changed. He “intended” to give illegals amnesty, but if Republicans take over the senate, he can’t.”
Obama isn’t going to send troops since the lie is that he has no intent on destroying any Islamic group.
Took this guy 6 years to figure this out.....
For those of you unfamiliar with the Pittsburgh Courier, it is a BLACK NEWSPAPER!!
One with quite a rich and colorful history to boot.
This is HUGH and SERIES!
Better late than never, I guess.
He “intended” to make things better for blacks too. But I think they’re worse off now than they were 50 years ago. Our community organizer should have stuck to organizing.
But a bunch of idiots here helped Obama get re-elected because “Romney is a RINO”. Thanks again!
Obama may be the first US president who never had any management or executive experience of any kind in his life, before he became president.
He does.not know how to be a manager. He does not know how to be an executive. He does not know how to be a leader. Political differences aside, he just has never learned the skills needed to function in an executive position.
He’s only willing to admit to incompetence now, the rest of us have known it’s not just incompetence, but evil for a lot longer.
Yes, so he’s ‘finally figured it out about Obama’, but watch him get right in lock step with the other conservative bashers whenever the GOP names their 2016 Pres. nominee. Only a very small percentage of them ever learn to connect their vote to what happens after the elections are done. Elections are not just popularity contests, they are social decisions on how to confront issues that affect us all Even those in poverty level are effected by elections, though many don’t seem to believe it.
Six years to figure it out? Well, I guess it took big chunks of America 6 years to figure it out as well, even though the evidence was there all the time.
The fault, my friend, lies with the GOPe and nobody else.
I voted for Romney in 2012. But I won't be making that mistake again.
No more voting for RINOs ever, under any circumstances. Period.
In the past I voted for McCain, and Romney nationally, and for Scott Brown in Massachusetts. But I guess it depends on your belief in how far gone this nation is, and what it will take to restore it, assuming that is even possible at this point.
Personally, I now believe that the only way to save America at this point (assuming such a thing is still possible) is to put conservatives in political offices and enact an agenda based on free markets, limited government and the rule of law. As long as we have a Republican party that actively opposes those ends (and we do, obviously), then I believe our only (slim) hope is drastic action.
As long as the Republican Party establishment believes that it can continue to survive by being Democrat-lite, and that it can continue to maintain power while actively fighting against the core principles of liberty, free markets and Constitutional law, it will never make the necessary change of direction.
Only when the Republican party understands that it must change or die can we hope to turn this country around. Our too-long-serving entrenched establishment politicians can still enjoy their comfy lifestyles, their wealth, power and prestige as members of a minority party. So why should they bother to change direction?
Surely a John Boehner (or an Eric Cantor -- had he not been defeated -- or a Mitch McConnell) would be just as happy to be minority leaders if the election cycle didn't go their way. Yes, they would prefer to be majority leaders, but what good would it do them if a conservative Republican Party won the majority and then threw them out of their cushy positions and all those perks, replacing them with real conservatives?
Ask yourself -- which do you think Mitch McConnell would prefer -- a majority Republican party in which he was stripped of his position by a conservative majority, or a minority Republican party in which he could remain Senate minority leader because the majority of Republican senators were RINOs?
You may argue that we have no time to wait for the Republicans to realize that their only choice is to change or die as a viable party. But if we don't have time for that, then what makes you think we have time to wait for the RINOs and the GOP-e to pursue a "moderately marginal" course of action designed only to maintain their personal fiefdoms at the expense of a free America operating under the rule of Constitutional law?
The GOP had majority power in the House and Senate, and occupied the White House, 10 years ago. What did all that power do to move the agenda of liberty forward? Answer: nothing.
A GOP that cannot even sell liberty, limited governments and free markets to the American people is worse than useless. It is a party of tyranny enablers, and I will have none of it.
Unbelievably, today we once again face the stark choice between liberty and death.
Once again, these are the times that try men's souls. Conservatives need to be waging aggressive war against the totalitarian leftist tyrants on all fronts -- in the branches of government at the federal and state level, in academia, in the media, through public demonstrations, and in the voting booth.
Many argue that we must continue to vote for "the most electable conservative," which means "vote for the RINO if no conservative is running." But I respectfully disagree with that choice. I am done enabling.
If we really are to lose the greatest country in the history of the world, then let's at least be fighting for it when it goes down.
And who knows, maybe -- just maybe, if we show sufficient resolve and conviction -- divine Providence will once again provide the support that gave our founders their unlikely victory in 1776, and grant us once again the "new birth of freedom" that Lincoln called for a century later.
If you reward bad behavior, you get more of it. The RINOs have managed to own the Republican party because they know that conservatives have nowhere else to go.
To continue voting for RINOs is to play right into that strategy. The RINOs have become so certain of your vote that they actually believe they can continue to stay in power by declaring outright war on the conservative base.
And when they do that, they are actually declaring war on core American principles -- war on liberty, war on free market economics, and even war on the Constitution.
The RINO Republicans cannot even make an appeal to the traditional American love of those principles, because they have lost the credibility and historical awareness to articulate them, let alone promote them.
Yes, having Harry Reid continue as majority leader is a horrific scenario. But having RINO Republicans win that office is only a marginally better short-term outcome.
And in some ways it is even worse, because as the RINOs “reach across the aisle" to promote marginally modified Democrat policies, they give the Democrats cover from the well-deserved blame for the horrific damage that they have unleashed on our country in the last five years.
America is out of time now. We cannot continue on the current path. And as things continue to deteriorate, who do you think the voters will blame if the Republicans are in power when the 2016 elections come around?
You think Mitch McConnell's senate will repeal Obamacare? You think it will take the right position on immigration? You think a Republican Senate will vote against Obama’s left wing Supreme Court nominations?
America needs clear, passionate and articulate voices to advocate and defend our founding principles, to secure our borders, to preserve our nation, and to take legislative and administrative steps to turn this country around, assuming it still can be turned around.
Majority leader Mitch McConnell will NEVER provide that voice or leadership. He is not the guy to turn things around for our formerly blessed nation.
But in 2016 a newly terrified Republican party will be forced to court instead of alienate the conservative base, and come 2017 will be in a position to put the party and our nation on the proper path. Such a duly chastised party has a real chance of nominating a Ted Cruz, instead of a Mitt Romney who, according to a recent panel on Fox News, is at this point the likely Republican presidential nominee.
So in November, for those whose only choice in the mid-terms is between a RINO and a Democrat, I urge them to stay home on election day, or vote third-party -- anything to prove the RINOs wrong in thinking that they can stay in power by literally declaring war on conservatism.
Think about it.
I agree. I think it’s Hugh because it shows the base is finally not turning a blind eye. I think it’s series because a Democrat must keep fooling 90+ percent of black voters to win. If even 15% start to vote independent, it’s so series that the Democrats will lose power in big ways. Then, we can truly stimulate the economy - in the private sector where wealth is voluntarily redistributed every day for goods and services - and employ all American citizens. That is the best way to help black America and all of America.
the incompetent president follows the incompetent voter.
Obama’s worse than one of those slimy used car salesman that fills the crankcase full of sawdust. Pray the ignorant masses catch on to him and his party of shysters.
The word ‘incompetent’ is incendiary? Where did this numbnuts learn English?
So, I guess the NUKE-solution is what he has in mind. That would, of course, destroy many of the militant young Muslim killers.
Bombs do work.
WHAT an idiot our pimpprez is...just a plain, blue-ribbon, grade AAA, moronic, stupid, foolish, idiotic, ass-brain, halfwit, dunce-ish, doltish, ignorant, cretinish, imbecilic simpleton.
Did I fail to mention that he is a blockhead, dolt, dope, dunce, imbecile, jackass, jerk, nitwit, numbskull, simpleton and twit?
Oh dear, I forgot: addlebrain, blockhead, blunderer, bonehead, botcher, bumbler, clod, dunce, featherbrain, foul-up, harebrain, ignoramus, ARROGANT, incompetent, mismanager, muddler, numskull and screw up!
His ethics are existent ONLY to how self-serving they are and he is purely pragmatic as to keeping himself and the uber liberal Democrats in powahhhhh.
.
Am I being harsh?
I agree. he gave a good speech at the Rat convention and parlayed that into the WH.
That is all it takes for the RATS give a good speech and you are King.
ZERO is the most incompetent president we have EVER had.
Jimmah loves him. He makes Jimmah look good.
Baby killing gun grabbers just don’t get the respect they deserve! /s
