In 1953, the Swiss novelist Max Frisch published a play called The Arsonists. It's a pitch dark comedy about a small town ravaged by a group of maniacs disguised as traveling salesmen, who sweet-talk their way into people's homes and then set them on fire. Its protagonist is a dolt called Biedermann—bieder being German for honest, respectable, and upright. He's aware of the danger, and yet, when the arsonists knock, he lets them in. The tragedy, Frisch argues, is that he almost has no other choice: The arsonists are such smooth talkers that it's easy, when listening to them, to ignore the large drums of kerosene and the matches they're holding in their hands.
I thought of The Arsonists this week when I heard snippets of a podcast interview featuring former president Barack Obama on the Middle East. "Nobody's hands are clean," Obama said. "All of us are complicit."
Nah, man. Not all of us are complicit. It's just you.

It's you, because you're the one who gave that stentorian speech about red lines in Syria and then sat by and did nothing as those red lines were crossed and Assad continued to slaughter his own people, allowing the Iranians and the Russians to creep in and fill the vacuum left by your devastating lack of leadership.
It's you, because you're the one who came up with the idea of empowering Iran, the world's premiere exporter of terrorism, Holocaust denial, and chaos, all the while telling the American people you were merely trying to stop Teheran from getting a nuclear bomb. Billions of dollars and thousands of dead later, we can all see how well this idea—which you, with the eloquence only a professor could muster, called "regional integration"—is working.

Obama is Black
OBAMA WAS BORN IN AUGUST.
What was his mother doing in Seattle 5 months later — without him.
His entire life has been one big lie.
Check out his wedding ring (Islam).
He might be on the cover, but maybe he won’t be “Woman of the Year.”
OBAMA IS MUSLIM-—HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO ADVANCE THEIR IDEAS.
LOL.......
He has plenty of “I’s” in this speech, too. All about himself. He even at one point says he “has the scars to prove it” as he lies about his nonexistent efforts to advance peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
I can’t think of one thing this imposter accomplished while he was president except to incite racial hatred and to encourage people to despise America and blame her for everything wrong in the world. He sits there pontificating and, as usual, says nothing of substance. What a total fraud. And I can’t stand the way he waves around his skinny, little hands and fingers. He’s the very embodiment of a girly man.
Americans were complicit in electing a man who was proud of his Muslim name Barrack Hussein Obama six years after our country was attacked by terrorists with similar names and heritage That stupidity was the beginning of the end for America.
I’m not sorry.
He’s just—once again—wrong!
JoeBama just hates humanity outright and will jump at the chance to kill ANY human beings.

I am starting to think the joke about some other, alternate universe seeping into our universe and messing everything up is not a joke.
