I had a feeling he wasn't going to be a good president, yet I thought he would just be amateurish, feckless. I did not believe that this country, and it's associated institutions, would allow someone to embarass and denigrate the office and our country to the extent it has become criminal. <br><br>Where is the "opposition party" throughout all this?! Why haven't impeachment proceedings been started? The is more than enough to question the legality of many of this ass-clowns administrations actions. <br><br>I never thought it would get to this point though, that a US President would not give a damn about US security, and his own Ambassadors even, that he would act in such a callous, incompetent manner.<br><br>Didnt someone say at the beginning of his term that he hopes he fails?

Perhaps he technically violated his parole, but this isn't the sort of thing the government would have worried about in other circumstances. Even the appearance of censorship should be avoided because it just encourages more violent reactions to offenses most others would shrug off.Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-90469267828440283412012-09-17T04:32:28.660-04:002012-09-17T04:32:28.660-04:00Obama not letting the Embassy attacks disrupt the ...Obama not letting the Embassy attacks disrupt the important business of fundraising was pathetic.<br><br>Based on my admittedly brief time in Peshawar back in 1995 its plausible that the anti-Islam film is what spurred the violent protests across the region (the makers of the film recently translated it into Arabic and to ice the cake propagated the lie it was backed by wealthy Jews). Also I'm willing to bet diamonds to doughnuts that the media and the clergy in the region has happily poured fuel onto the fire. Possibly the presence of lots of heavily armed men in Benghazi and a consulate which doesn't sound like it was built with defense in mind were a bad combo, but it's also possible Al Queda or an imitator had been planning the attack for a while. <br><br>Whether it was planned or not does not excuse the fact that it happened and that it shouldn't have.

If a novelist had proposed a situation where the President goes off to a fundraiser in Las Vegas right after an ambassador and three others are killed in a far off country, the editor would have said that was too far fetched. The writer might get away with it if he said Des Moines. <br><br>Almost everything the President has done lately is despicable in a fantastic way.
