Yesterday demonstrated how inept, and out of the loop Obama is. by Mark Vogl

President after President has entered the international affairs arena in the Middle East and been stymied, clumsy, confused and ultimately exhausted, while expending billions of US dollars and much influence. And the results?
Time, energy and money spent in the Middle East is time, energy, and money NOT spent within US borders where our domestic problems continue to grow. Like a farmer refusing to tend his fields in order to help a neighbor, the weeds are growing taking over the food crop.
But no US President, including Jimmie Carter, has looked as out of the loop, and misinformed as President, or as novice as Barrack Hussein Obama.
With almost no experiencein the Senate, the sponsor of not one significant piece of legislation, this complete nobody has repeatedly demonstrated throughout his administration that he simply isn't up to the job. But yesterday was laughable. I mean it. And I laughed!
America deserves everything that is happening. There is an arrogance in America, born and bred in Harvard and Yale, and the Ivy League, and Skull and Bones, and Wall Street, and Hollywood. American intellectuals know better. They know better than mom and dad in Iowa, or Alabama, or Utah. Our Courts know better than Main Street in small town America.
America elected a black man so they could feel good! So how do you feel? As Rush Limbaugh says, "How's that hope and change working out for ya?"
Republicans are as guilty of the arrogance as the Democrats. Both parties have their intellectuals. Both parties have all the shades of anti-Americanism, human secularism, and intellectual elitism.
Our people have embraced deficit financing, they refuse to vote in representatives who place as their first priority, before defense, before health care, before compassionate social programs, before education, a policy of financial sanity and good economic policy. Let jobs and industries move overseas! Encourage trade. Trade access to the wealthiest market in the world, the US, for access to markets in the third world! Smart, shrewd, ...very good thinking! ?
International politics is not solely or even usually about military confrontation. Tanks, plans, etc are necessary for national security should war come. But, war does not have to come, and the US does not have to be embarrassed on the global stage.
And its not a question of experience. It's a question of character, values, and objectives. Does anyone think President Sarah Palin would have been on TV Thursday proclaiming victory?
Like all the other countries in the Mid-East, what happens there on any given day takes months to reveal whether it was a positive or negative step.
Meanwhile, in America, did you get a job? Did your child get a job? Did Congress cut spending and the president sign it? Did Congress refuse to raise the debt ceiling and force the government to live within its means? Have America's borders been closed to illegal drugs and illegal aliens? Has the FCC tightened the rules on profanity and perversion on the national air waves? Have new military regulations reinstituted regulations against homosexual relations? Has Obamacare been repealed?
There is much to do here.
Mubarek's departure Friday may have saved President Obama global embarassment, but November 2012 is far down the road, and no one can know how the chaos in Egypt will resolve itself. The enigma which is the Middle East continues.
