Maybe it’s the years of being a lawyer making deals and seeing the clients as victims. Maybe it’s the lack of a military background to get a good understanding for what the world is really about. Maybe it’s the education system failing to correctly portray our position on the world stage. Maybe it’s the years of indoctrination in the Party of Appeasement that whatever the United States has done in the world MUST be wrong. Maybe it’s the decades of lackluster leadership skills actually leading anything. Maybe it’s that he’s trying too hard to be liked by people who are never going to like him no matter what he does.
Whatever it IS – our president has failed Leadership 101.
If we believe he is learning his job as he goes at the College of Politics/DC Campus then our president just failed his most important class – Leadership 101.
As the president is parading around ‘The Continent’ apologizing to everyone he can find and bowing down to the leaders of the Middle East he is painting a portrait of himself as a weakling in contrast to other world leaders. He has failed to garner support for his war effort in Afghanistan, fails to grasp that the militants of Islam are not being rejected by the Islamic world and has managed to lower himself to be ‘one of the crowd’ on the European landscape. The Alpha Dog status that IS ‘the American President’ is being thrown under the bus by President Obama to show the world the United States is no longer a country to be looked up to for leadership, but instead we are applying for the status to be just one of the cacophony clamoring to be heard. In one fell sweep the president is managing to take a lot of the luster from his very own presidency.
Whether our president realizes it or not, the United States has been thrust into our role as world leader as a result of fighting a war to save the world from Evil – a choice our president is making now hands the world back to Evil. After destroying Evil in the 1940s the United States remained the dominant power until we were the only super power left standing. Dismantling our power destabilizes the world. The United States has been hated around the world because we’re the only ones who still believe protecting those who can’t protect themselves from tyranny. No, we can’t save the whole world, but we do what we can. Do we always do it right? Don’t be ridiculous. But we try. Those we oppose have NO intention of doing things right. They set out to court Evil from the beginning and would be more than happy to have it prevail.
For many of the European leaders this is their first chance to meet our new president, but as he travels he is making speeches that are proving to be stiff recitations of the same old appeasement rhetoric of past Democrat presidents. He is also being viewed by the world for the first time through the prism of their news agencies that are covering his trip. As the European press is already getting tired of his visit, our own press is still in love with their man and is gaga over his wife. The American press might as well be reporting for some glamour magazine for all the depth they present in their stories about the trip.
While President Obama was apologizing for destroying the world economy and for being a super power, North Korea was busy demonstrating President Obama’s impotence by firing a rocket directly at his grandmother’s house in Hawaii. His weak reaction, along with his actions this week, is showing those who are taking his measure that he is another ‘Paper Tiger,’ in the words of Osama bin Laden when talking about the United States under the leadership of President Bill Clinton. President Obama is reacting the same way Bill Clinton reacted to such provocations – counting on the UN to handle North Korea with a letter writing campaign. It was that attitude which ultimately led to the attacks on September 11th, 2001. This is NOT a time to appear weak.
