President Obama has not been particularly engaged in Iraq. He concluded that he is so likable that people in the media heap massive kudos on him for anything he does. Why shouldn’t terrorists?
Instead, Obama has focused his considerable community-organizing skills on domestic issues, like wealth redistribution and fanning racial fires. With the one-sided way he handled the Ferguson, Mo., flare-up, he turned our Midwest into his own Middle East.
So he blamed Bush and put Iraq on the “honor system,” then moved on to fight fake domestic “wars,” like the “war on women,” “war on black men” and “war on the middle class.” It’s easier to say you “won” fake wars. The only casualty is the truth.
Obama helped recruit terrorists by going to great lengths to expose post-9/11 water boarding by the Bush administration CIA. One could argue that was wrong or, as I view it, just a targeted Ice Bucket Challenge ahead of its time.
But when The New York Times jumped on Obama for playing golf minutes after his speech on ISIS beheading an American journalist, he acted “engaged” in foreign affairs. Bill Clinton would not have left an important speech to join a foursome — a threesome, maybe.
