I’m beginning to think that Mr Obama lives in his own little bubble, unaffected by daily and hourly events. The Obama Vacuum.
The American Media Maggots called George W. Bush “uncurious.” I would say that Obama is much worse, unable to see that reality which is actually occurring around him. He is absolutely incapable of learning from history and/or the mistakes of others — not just from a year or 10 or 20 years ago, but within the day.
On Friday, the day of the Paris attack, Mr Obama declared that ISIS is contained. Mr Obama also declared quite definitively in 2013:
~ Barack Hussein Obama, 23 May, 2013
Inserting his foot into his mouth in ignorance, Mr Obama, having again learned nothing, doubles down on stupid by insisting that the US increase the number of Syrians we purposely import into our own country.
Canadian CBCNews.com says that our Mr Obama wants to “increase and accelerate” the number of Syrians we place onto US soil.
Syria refugee crisis: U.S. opens centres to speed vetting

Screening outposts to be set up in Iraq, Lebanon as U.S. urges Arab nations to do more
The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.
The move comes after President Barack Obama pledged in September to admit an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, torn by four years of civil war and disorder.
How many more?
The White House would not say how many additional refugees it may take in beyond the 10,000, but two senior administration officials said they are seeking ways to increase the number.
Syrian “refugees” are already arriving in New Orleans, Louisiana. As if NOLA didn’t have enough of its own troubles.
The US is lucky this time around. Obviously, we have our own Mexican problem at the southern border. Thank God we don’t border a Muslim state or we too would be flooded and lost as Europe is about to be lost to Islam.
What we’ve discovered even now is that some of the Paris Muslim terrorists came into the country with the flood of Syrian “refugees,” insinuating themselves amidst the crowds, holding Syrian refugee passports.
Obama isn’t cute or intelligent or mistaken or a tad naive.
Obama is downright dangerous to the United States of America.

Obama is doing exactly what he said he would do. Fundamentally change America. He will do everything in the time left to have us overrun like Europe. He is a little hesitant by bringing only 10,000 this time because he knows we are armed and getting fed up. He wants to see how much he can get away with. What really gets me is how the religious leaders are sooooo willing to go along with resettling these bastards. Churches are helping him destroy us.
He is not stupid nor unaware. The muslim brotherhood is already in place in his administration to take over government after he leaves office. Civil servants are almost impossible to get rid of. The muslim in the white house has stayed true to himself and his beliefs. He is a demon.
Emily, you’re quite right. The fatal problem is that Leftist PC Think has so weakened us that everything from churches to local governments are affected. Many of these people “mean well” but the road to Hell is truly paved with good intentions. “Meaning well” no longer measures up. The chief architect for this paving is Barack Hussein Obama.

The quote beginning this post is taken out of context and misleading.
As much as I despise our CinC, we cannot lower ourselves to using leftist tactics to smear. Read the entire quote in context and be educated.
Having said that, I think we can safely challenge any Obama supporter to point to a policy his administration has used that didn’t support the Muslim faith or weaken our ability to fight against Muslims.

If this entire article is too long to post do with it as you will but I found it a fascinating read. Someone actually has the courage to publish this.

It’s time for Obama to make a choice: Lead us or resign
In any time and place, war is fiendishly simple. It is the ultimate zero-sum contest — you win or you lose.
That eternal truth is so obvious that it should not need to be said. Yet even after the horrific slaughter in Paris, there remains a distressing doubt about whether America’s commander in chief gets it.
President Obama has spent the last seven years trying to avoid the world as it is. He has put his intellect and rhetorical skills into the dishonorable service of assigning blame and fudging failure. If nuances were bombs, Islamic State would have been destroyed years ago.
He refuses to say “Islamic terrorism,” as if that would offend the peaceful Muslims who make up the vast bulk of victims. He rejects the word “war,” even as jihadists carry out bloodthirsty attacks against Americans and innocent peoples around the world.
He shuns the mantle of global leadership that comes with the Oval Office, with an aide advancing the preposterous concept that Obama is “leading from behind.” He snubs important partners like Egypt, showers concessions on the apocalyptic mullahs of Iran, and called the Islamic State the “jayvee team” even as it was beginning to create a caliphate.
Having long ago identified American power as a problem, he continues to slash the military as the enemy expands its reach. In a globalized era, the Obama doctrine smacks of cowardly retreat and fanciful isolation.
In an accident of timing that captures his cluelessness, the president actually declared on Friday morning that Islamic State had been “contained,” practically boasting in a TV interview that, “They have not gained ground in Iraq and in Syria.”
What gall. What folly.
Paris is the final straw. Obama’s exemption from reality has expired. He must either commit to leading the free world to victory, or step aside so someone else can.
There is no more time to avoid the truth of war. America must organize the combined forces of the civilized world before Islamic State makes good on its vow to “taste” more American blood.
If Obama cannot rise to the challenge of leadership in this historic crisis, then, for the good of humanity, he should resign.
As a top intelligence adviser told me yesterday, “What they did in Paris means they are coming here.”
In fact, they already are here. Law-enforcement officials say the FBI has as many as 1,000 investigations open into Islamic State sympathizers inside the US.
Is America ready to stop multiple assault teams of suicide bombers? Is New York ready? Or Chicago, Los Angeles or Washington, DC?
Because Paris was a grand success to the terrorists, the propaganda value acts as an incentive for attacks on other western cities. While sparing no effort to stop them here, we must simultaneously destroy them in their foreign bases.
World War III began when Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States, though we did not grasp the significance until 9/11. The collapse of the Twin Towers, a smoking hole in the Pentagon and a downed jetliner in Pennsylvania revealed the price of our inaction.
The single greatest attack ever against America galvanized the nation and defined a new generation of policy makers and warriors.
Yet Obama always remained curiously cool about the whole endeavor, denouncing the invasion of Iraq as dumb while holding up Afghanistan as a necessary war. Once he got to the White House, though, he showed no conviction about Afghanistan either, surging troops only to demand that they return home quickly.
The pattern has never changed, and his relationship with a rotating cast of military leaders remains rocky. Robert Gates, secretary of defense under both President Bush and Obama, said in his memoir that Obama’s distrust of the military was destructive of the very mission he had given the troops.
After a heated 2011 meeting on Afghanistan, Gates concluded that Obama “doesn’t believe in his own strategy, and doesn’t consider the war to be his. For him, it’s all about getting out.”
Another former military leader, Gen. Jack Keane, notes that Obama never once agreed to the full request of his commanders. If they ask for 10,000 troops, Obama agrees to 5,000, 3,000 or none.
The raid that got bin Laden marked the high point of Obama’s commitment. He turned that achievement into political gold in 2012 and declared the “tide of war is receding” to justify his decision to withdraw from the field of battle.
It was a convenient figment of self-interest, as if his wish would make it true. Instead, the strategic dominos fell quickly as war metastasized. The hard-won gains in Iraq were reversed, Syria descended into hell and Islamic State was born in the vacuum.
Its ruthlessness and success in capturing territory enabled it to supplant al Qaeda as the most dangerous terrorist network. It has become the proverbial “strong horse,” with each terrifying attack bringing more recruits and more financing.
In the last two weeks, it shot down a commercial Russian airliner over Egypt and carried out bombings in Beirut. And then came Paris.
Its ability to inflict unprecedented casualties in such far-flung locations mark a growing strength and sophistication. The terrorists smell weakness and have increased the pace of their aggressive expansion. Their aim of global conquest must be taken seriously.
French President Francois Hollande understands the meaning of Friday’s slaughter. He called it an “act of war” and vowed that “France will not show any pity” against those who carried out the barbaric acts. World leaders quickly expressed their condolences and condemnation.
Yet it remains doubtful if our side is truly committed to winning. The determination and unity the free world showed after 9/11 faded as casualties, mistakes and politics eroded the mission.
So we are back to square one again, facing a stronger and more emboldened enemy. The time has run out for half measures and kicking the can down the road. The enemy must be destroyed on the battlefield before there can be any hope of peace.
If Obama cannot rise to the challenge of leadership in this historic crisis, then, for the good of humanity, he should resign. Those are the only options and it is his duty to decide.
I am shocked that the article was written in America. I am further shocked the article was penned by someone in New York, from the Post. We know, however, it would never have seen the light of day in the Times. We know that for a fact.
Because Leftists make the fatal mistake that they believe they are completely ambivalent in their opinions despite the makeup of their newsrooms. And they wonder why they are disappearing.

Obama will not willingly resign. Period. Obama is an Islamist among other things. His goal from day one has been to weaken the USA from within and destroy us. He is the enemy. To get rid of him he needs to be treated like the enemy along with the people who put him in power and those that support him.
Correct minuteman,,,100% correct.
Obama is exactly like those Paris terrorists!
All MUSLIM !!!!
the only vacuum I can sense is the one between B.H.O.’s ear’s when it comes to anything related to Islamic terrorism. If he doesn’t have sympathy for the group, he at least has an undue amount of afction for them. Which one doesn’t really matter. The end result is the same. He appears weak to the world, which in turn makes our country weak. A strong country is what keeps us safe.
It has been 14 years since the attack on the twin towers. Obama said a few months ago that he still didn’t have a plan to stop Isis. The Allies fought WWII and defeated the Axis powers, who were much stronger than a rag tag, disorganized militia, in 5 years, and you never heard Churchill say, that he didn’t have a plan, or Patton, or Eisenhower, Bradley, etc. These were men who knew that you had to sacrifice in order to keep your country safe. Men who have fought wars to a man have said how much they hated it. And yet, almost to a man, if asked again, they would respond to the call, and go and fight, as long as It was over seas, and not here in this country, as they wanted to keep their people free from the horrors of war.
I am sure many, if not all, of the men of this country feel the same. If asked, we would go and fight Isis and the Islamic state overseas, even though we are not active military, to protect our homeland and our loved ones, if only our president had the stomach for it. I pray that our next president, whoever that may be, is not afraid to call a thug a thug, and to co-operate with friends from around the globe who are willing to help, and go in and root out the scum and kill each and every one of them. America has been a disappointment for too long, and it is time we were a dominant we took our place as the leader of the free world and began to shine our light of freedom from one corner of the globe to the other, and from the top to the bottom. It is our destiny, and what we must do if we are to survive. All of us.
