Obama presidency an embarrassment

Obama presidency an embarrassment

At a time when our country, and the planet in general, is in complete turmoil, where is our esteemed president?

He’s either campaigning, playing golf, fundraising, shooting hoops, vacationing, shopping, or appearing on ESPN to divulge to his adoring fans his NCAA basketball brackets. (Hint: bet against him; everything he has tried or predicted in the last two years has been a complete failure.)

A friend asked me to sum up President Obama’s first two years in office in two words. It was easy: “worldwide embarrassment.”

As a Jew, are you not embarrassed by his abandonment of Israel? As an Olympic follower, are you not stunned that he lost Chicago to Rio? As a supporter of the Nobel Peace Prize, is it not shameful that he was nominated for the award months before he was even sworn into office?
