When does Obama realize he’s been a total failure? When a liberal Washington Post columnist writes that thanks to him, American leadership is “gone.”
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
And, predictably, Cohen’s Leftist critics in the “Comments” section are calling him a racist and pointing out that he is Jewish and thus, must have some pro-Israel neo-con leanings.
The ‘loss of influence’ was totally intended....is this guy stupid or something? Why do people not see through Obama at this point???
Rips the bark off Barky. Lol!
It’s amusing to watch Leftist pols & pundits suddenly willing to scorn ObeyMe as he exits the stage. You know, as if they think they’re fooling anyone that they’re “deep thinkers.”
Obama’s MO:
Speak softly (about himself) and carry a limp noodle.
The continued existence of the State of Israel is conditioned on implicit American military support for the foreseeable future.
American Jews who fail to recognize this are in denial.
There are two ways that American support can be lost:
Lack of will, when America no longer cares about Israel, or cares more for her enemies.
Lack of means, when America is too feeble to significantly influence events in Middle East.
Obama has been doing all he can to accomplish both ends.
Yeah, as old as I am, my “flag” doesn’t get out much either.
It’s too late, Cohen. You are a “progressive Jew” who supported this Satan.
He was elected to the Presidency.....twice.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize.
He went to Harvard Law School.
He was called “brilliant” and “visionary”.
He turned out to be an empty bag.
This will be the 2,597,823rd psychoanalysis of Barack Obama on the internet but from the first moment I became aware of him I noted what a coward he was.
There is the usual talk tough/run and hide dynamic with him but there is an even more fundamental cowardice at work. He, with the help of far too many, has built up an alternative reality bubble that he frantically reinforces every hour of every day. Any intrusions into his fantasy world where he is ALWAYS the smartest, funniest, most capable, most well-read, most consequential person regardless of office or era are met with immediate resentment, anger, and an unquenchable desire to return fire in the most condescending, mendacious manner possible.
To be fair, Trump has a bit of a hair trigger but he has never claimed omniscience or infallibility - he’s usually setting the record straight that the media intentionally get wrong.
I know that Obama seems like the personification of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ but unlike the emperor who became enraged by hearing the truth, Obama continues to pretend that the truth doesn’t even exist. It’s very possible that the lies he tells about prosperity, unemployment, foreign affairs, etc. aren’t viewed as lies by him thanks to an army of toadies. His failure - make that refusal - to read security and intelligence memos is more evidence.
His body language in interviews and press conferences is very revealing. Criticism and tough questions make him lower his head as if he’s considering a bull-like charge at the questioner. It’s also a poker-style ‘tell’ that he’s wrestling with the conflict between fantasy and reality but fantasy remains unefeated and untied in Obamaland.
We should all be glad that our involvement in Syria, damaging as it has been, was limited. In that theater, the president’s lack of leadership spared us lives, I’ll will and money. But because he did get involved a bit, we now have Russia and Iran as major players.
No. Like the rest of the left he thought America as too great and needed to be brought down a peg or two and our enemies needed his assistance to 'resist' American 'imperialism". He has always despised this country and anyone who doesn't see that when surveying the wreckage of his 8 years in office is being willfully blind.
If one looks at Obama’s actions through a lense with the presumption that he is a hate America/Muslim, everything he has done and is doing makes clear sense.
This is what happens when Americans vote with their eyes. Obama’s skin color is what they wanted and (in a practical sense) it’s all they/we got. He was a narcissistic, smart-aleck social justice warrior first and foremost, and a poor excuse for any sort of executive position in today’s world. Unfortunately, he is my President. But, his blatant disregard for the Constitution makes him less an American, and while I will always respect the position of President of the United States, I will despise that socialist for the rest of my life.
What did Richard Cohen think he was voting for? I don’t understand liberal nitwits who are shocked ... shocked, I tell you! ... that Obama is an anti-American, doctrinaire leftist with Muslim sympathies. It’s what he’s always been; look at his record.
As George Will descended into the Keith Oberman circle, the liberal Richard Cohen has emerged, in some cases, as one of the best articulaters of our time.
A few years ago, our favorite ‘journalist’ here, Helen Thomas, said something to the effect that the Jews in Israel should “Go back to where they came from”.
Cohen BLASTED her and talked about something that I suspect virtually none of you guys reading this is aware of (I certainly wasn’t at the time). It was about the massacres of Jews AFTER the conclusion of World War 2, in Poland...where the locals, for whatever reason, blamed the Jews for the war and massacred thousands. It was a fitting tribute to that bitch to call it out.

I have a lot of respect for a man, regardless of their politics, when they will call a spade a spade.

Maybe it is slooooowly sinking in that Obama has greatly diminished the dimwit’s power and influence. Even more than Rush Limbaugh or Fox News (in their minds).
Obama may have to fear a crazed leftist more than Trump.
