OBAMA REALLY IS TO BLAME

I was brought up to believe in and support the President of the United States whether I voted for him or not.  I was taught that he is the elected leader of our country and we need to stand behind him.  But, I would not stand behind an Adolf Hitler as our President, for example.  The President must be a strong leader, but he must above all be a capable one and an outstanding American.  I'm indeed sorry to say this, but I would support Rush Limbaugh as President long before I will support Barack Obama. 

Obama is no outstanding American and he is no leader.  That's the long and short of it.  With respect to Syria, the time to act was well over two years ago, before Al Qaeda had a foothold.  Today, the rebels consist of a conglomerate of good guys, not so good guys, and downright nasty enemies.  They don't wear shirts or caps to identify themselves.  Any aid to them is likely to end up with the nasties.  

Assad is doing horrible things.  Obama has shucked and ducked that issue from day one, just as he is shucking and ducking the Iranian nuclear problem.  Having achieved office, this handsome and suave talker from wherever he's from has proven to be a chicken and a procrastinator; he doesn't make a single tough decision until someone lights a fire in his public hair.  

In trying to shuck and duck and dance his way around the Syrian-Assad situation, he flapped his gums off with a "However, if Assad uses chemical weapons, that will change our equation."  Of course, Assad is now inherently obligated to test the waters.  Well, you've heard all of the arguments about how we are going to respond... everything from shooting a spit-wad at him to a massive attack of missiles and bombs.  

Now that we've called Obama on his "red line" gaffe, he still refuses to acknowledge he made a mistake and tries to lie and spin his way out of it by suggesting that it's not his red line, it's everyone else's red line.   And we have his supporters running around like chickens with their heads cut off claiming that it's our duty to support our President.  Are we going to be like Nazi Germany in support of Adolf Hitler and blindly support anything this President does?  

I think we're  smarter than that.  We ask questions.  We don't like the situation our President put us in, we don't like the possible repercussions, and we want to sit this one out.  I'm sorry, Barry, but you got yourself into this mess.  You have blamed us, divided us, made us feel like pissants and now you want us to risk our country for the sole purpose of saving your face? 

You are to blame, Mr. President.  Stand up like a man, admit it and show some damned humility.  Start acting like a leader and an American.  Under those circumstances, we will follow you.  Otherwise, you're finished.  Done.  Zero.
