During a press conference yesterday in Israel, President
Obama addressed a reporter who asked about his failures in the Middle East. His
wordy answer was quite revealing, and an admission of his own sense of incompetence
when it comes to the challenges he faces as President. Here’s just part of his
response:
“There are a whole bunch of
things I would like to do in the United States that I didn't get done in my
first term. And I’m sure I could have been more deft there as well, but some
of it is just because it is hard. And people disagree. And it takes, I think, a
confluence of both good, diplomatic work, but also timing, serendipity, things
falling into place at the right time, the right players feeling that this is
the moment to seize it.”Can you believe that? The ruler of the free world says “it’s hard” and requires “serendipity, things falling into place at the right time.” That reminds me of the broken clock that tells the right time twice a day. No wonder we are in such dire straits in America.
I remember during his first campaign he was
asked about abortion, and when life begins, and he answered Pastor Rick Warren by
saying, it was above his pay grade. Well
it seems like the whole job is way above his pay grade. We elected an amateur
to head the greatest nation in the world. In fact, Ed Klein wrote a book about
him by that very name, “The Amateur.”
God help us! But don’t blame him—the American public re-elected him for
a second term! “Fool me once…!” What
does that tell us about the modern American? Perhaps Americanism is above all
our pay grades.
It’s time for re-training. Let’s turn off
“American Idol” and switch to the History Channel, or better yet, let’s read up
on our American history and learn about the things that really matter.
Remember, whoever the President is, he is a reflection of “we the people.” Let’s smarten up and elect a President whose
abilities are up to the task of leading the world’s last best hope, and pray
for God’s mercy to get us through until then.Read more: http://patriotupdate.com/2013/03/reporter-confronts-obama-about-his-mideast-failures/#ixzz2O85ELLu5 “
