BloggeRhythms 9/12/2013

While often using this forum to vent, extremely beneficial emotionally, it also provides opportunity to observe, study, research and learn, leading to familiarity with much of the subject matter.
 
Therefore, simply because he’s one of the most important topics discussed worldwide on a daily basis, I’ve discovered far more about the incumbent than I ever cared to. In fact, were he not POTUS my interest in him would be zero.
 
Writing about him a couple of years ago, basic logic suggested that an inexperienced amateur having no valid credentials couldn’t possibly succeed at leading the most successful, powerful nation that ever existed. His constituents, however, strongly supported by an accommodating media, continued to promote and enhance a glowing, flawless image.
 
And then, as time ticked by, real-world situations arose, calling for effective decisions and solutions which one by one proved to be beyond the scope of the incumbent’s experience and capabilities. By now, so many former totally supportive individuals, groups and factions have been let down, disappointed or harmed, very few, if any remain fervent, while popularity polls have reached all-time lows, likely falling further.
 
In that regard, even ardent admirer, Maureen Dowd has turned anti, writing about the latest fiasco in Syria this way: “Obama’s flip-flopping, ambivalent leadership led him to the exact place he never wanted to be: unilateral instead of unified. Once again, as with gun control and other issues, he had not done the groundwork necessary to line up support.”
 
Similarly, Carl Cameron of foxnews.com/politics reports that also primarily because of Syria, “At this point, immigration reform feels forgotten. Government funds run out in 18 days; the House put off a stopgap funding vote this week; the automatic sequester spending reductions are supposed to go from $85 billion to over $100 billion next year, but nobody’s talking about it. Uncle Sam hits the debt limit and must borrow billions more next month. But Dems won't negotiate. And, oh yeah, Dems want to re-legislate the Voting Rights Act.
 
None of it is moving, but the House is taking the last week of September off and both chambers plan a one-week break in October. They shouldn't count on it. But we shouldn't expect much if they stick around, either.” 
 
So, here we have our nation losing its influence, respect and ability to protect its interests in the Middle-East for the first time since 1970 due to incompetent, unqualified leadership, while simultaneously unraveling here at home. Which brings me back to my original point for today: Who in the world having a semblance of  a brain could expect anything else from one having not even a shred of experience, prior similar success, or valid credentials?
 
Along the same lines of one’s having no idea of what’s needed to professionally perform leadership roles, believing impossibly unrealistic promises instead, another saddening event took place yesterday.
 
According to Paul Joseph Watson, editor and writer for Infowars.com, “David Petraeus walked to his first day of his new job as a visiting professor at The City University of New York (CUNY).” 
 
Mr. Watson reports that “Petraeus seemed unaffected as students hurled insults, labeling him a “war criminal,” a “scumbag,” and a “fascist.” 
 
One protester yelled, “You’ve got blood all over you! I can smell you!” “You disgusting imperialist!” 
 
Furthermore, “The ambush was organized by an organization calling itself the Ad Hoc Committee, a group of CUNY students attempting to drive out “Death Squad” Petraeus and eliminate the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program.”
 
So, here we have one of the nation’s most highly successful, decorated heroes who didn't choose the battles he fought, instead serving where he was directed, being harassed, abused and insulted by a group of totally selfish, spoiled to the core wusses and wimps.
 
What’s even worse is these screaming examples of the ultimate in parasitic behavior don’t even know or care about the sacrifices made by those in uniform to preserve the very rights that permit the self-same leeches to freely speak and protest.
 
Which leads me to ask if this gang of dimwitted banshees would act the same way if the general were still in uniform, standing tall and bearing his weapon.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
