Greatest Mistake of Obama: Pro-Muslim Campaigner vs. President/Leader

obama karThe greatest mistake of the Obama Administration is Obama’s unwillingness to shift from pre-election political mode to Chief Executive/Commander-in-Chief management/leadership mode – following his success at the poles.

America desperately needs a President  . . . and we haven’t had one for the past 4-½ years.  Everything is politics with Obama. Even in his second term, he is compelled by political considerations and effects.  He has no understanding of or commitment to his Executive/Commander-in-Chief management/leadership responsibilities.

Obama is an articulate but shallow leader – clinging to 19th century Marxist/Socialist/Leftist social, economic and governance schoolbook concepts that have never worked and have produced disasters wherever they have been tried.

The President has surrounded himself with Leftist schoolboys of the same ilk, who are apparently running the administration while Obama flies around on Air Force One, cheerleading, conducting fundraisers, vacationing, playing golf and basketball, etc.

For example, true to his radical Leftist roots, Obama refuses to face up to the reality that we are at war with radical Islam and the terrorists that it has spawned. He has failed to launch and sustain an all-out war against these enemies. Instead of taking the war to them, which was President Bush’s successful strategy, Obama is reverting to a defensive, police action, reactive approach – the same strategy that preceded 9/11/2001. He has even backed off from his effective use of drones – a political action in response to his left wing Democrat critics.

Obama entered the White House with limited experience and schoolboy notions that he could secure peace with Islam via his personal charisma and verbal skill.  Like his father, he believed America and the Western powers were responsible for the ill will of Muslims and the impoverished nations — the result of Colonialism and it’s exploitation of the colonialized. He spent his first couple of years apologizing for America’s misdeeds and claims of Exceptionalism.

Not only was this inappropriate and grossly untrue, but it failed to win the goodwill of Muslims and peace with Islam. America today is still considered to be The Great Satan by World Islam.

Obama has refuse to recognize and/or accept that his schoolboy, Leftist strategies have failed. He has refused to recognize that even moderate Muslims are sympathetic to the violent activities of their radical followers.  Collectively, they have refused to expel radicalists and radical teachings from their ranks.

Obama refuses to acknowledge that Islam is a Geo political religion that endorses murder, mutilation, persecution, and the subservience of women. The American Constitution – based on Judeo-Christian values – never anticipated a politicized religion with the likes of Muslim values. Nor did our Founders ever envision a President so devoid of his administrative responsibilities.

“I ONLY LOOK THIS WAY”


Have you reached the point of being tired of political types treating you like you’re stupid? I am hoping you are, and ready to get up off our apathy and start speaking up (but NOT like the ‘Occupiers’).

In the last couple of weeks I find myself screaming at the pundits, their spokesmen, and the professional pot stirrers, “Hey, I only look this way.” (For those of you needing an explanation, “I only look that stupid”, or, “I am not as stupid as I look.”). For example, there is a man running for District Attorney for the City of Los Angeles claiming that electing him will enable the children to have a fair chance. Sound familiar?

Another one is part of a campaign to raise tax dollars to fight cancer. One of the supposed doctors claim that this bill will keep 200,000 children from smoking cigarettes. And on they go making promises that sound very vague, without any detail, after the pattern of candidate Obama in 2008. Make a lot of promises, keep the promises extremely vague letting the electorate to decide in their own minds what you stand for and will carry out. That way when you fail, you just remind them that you did not make those exact promises, change the mantra, and continue campaigning.

Now you understand the primary reason for the title of this blog. I find myself constantly asking, “What did you say?” These politicians have learned that most of the electorate will NOT hold their feet to the fire about their promises. As a result, they have become so bold as to make statements and promises knowing that you won’t be challenged unless you go on O’Reilly.

Will you join me in putting these politicians’ feet to the fire by challenging them when we can? Attend the rallies. Write the letters. Share blogs like this and let us do all we can to educate the electorate around us making this November the most active in history.
