At CFIF, I blast Obama’s entire foreign policy, citing chapter and verse of its failures.

Here’s a taste:

[N]obody should avoid saying that this week’s tragedies are symptomatic of the abject failure of Obama’s foreign policies not just in northern Africa but around the globe.

Under Obama’s reign of error, the United States’ most important and traditional alliances are frayed, our iffy relationships have not improved and our adversaries are no less adversarial. Worse, all three groups seem to respect us less, and those evil regimes that once feared us now seem to hold us nearly in contempt.

I did a ton of research almost exactly a year ago, for a forthcoming book, about the Iranian Revolution during the Carter years. This stiuation this week is so eerily similar to what happened then that it gives me the chills. This administration’s feckless weakness abroad really is Carter Redux. Mitt Romney was right to begin again to make that case; it’s time he follows up and deepens and broadens his critique, which is very well aimed.

Ther was one essential and extremely major difference between these two, and that is that the one is/was a bumbling dufus as POTUS whereas the other is a stealth trojun-horsed conqueror of this nation and that masquerades as POTUS. One honorably served his nation as a US Navy submarine commander, as a governor of a souther state before becoming POYUS; whereas the other attended exclusive private educational institutions paid for by suspicious unknown funding sources, surprisingly saw the religious light of day while serving as a legal advisor to Acorn etc by spending twenty years in a radical, black-nationalist church observing "GD America" preachings, and then receiving political funding from the "Lion of the Senate" and his Hollywood connections to YES WE CAN his way into the WH. One made honest but heartfelt mistakes due to ignorance, while the other made purposeful acts of fiscal/monetary/administrative techniques/actions intended to destroy. No there is a huge difference, and there is no comparison........at least not in some of our mindsets!!!!!!!!!!!

"2016: Obama's America" : Dinesh D'Souza was correct.
