Obama's Incompetence Goes Global

If the last couple of days haven't convinced Americans why Obama is inept at foreign policy, I don't know what will.  He had the gall to call Romney inexperienced in foreign policy.  Well, nearly 4 years as the leader of the free world has not done much to train Obama, as is obvious and on display the fast few days.

We have radicals attacking embassies across the Middle East, and it is clear that the President of the United States is over his head, like a Kindergartner trying to drive a car in Manhattan.

Consider some facts over the last few days as we've watched the Obama administration handle this ongoing tragedy:

• The US was warned about the coming riots and did nothing. 
• The American message for hours after the riots began is that we condemn the anti-Muslim movie that is being made (which was the excuse for the mobs to riot) instead of an responding immediately to condemn the attacks.  
• Then, after Romney criticizes the President, Obama attacks Romney instead of focusing on the issue at hand. 
• The US Embassy is embarrassingly deleting tweets condemning the film.  The media with its love affair with Obama defends Obama and rebukes Romney. 
• CNN's Anderson Cooper defends Obama saying that he did not "approve" the tweets or the message from the US Embassy.  What he omits in his evaluation is that the Embassy communicates American policy and opinion in any given country and represent the Obama administration.  And, the Obama administration took hours to condemn the attacks (Obama was likely planning his next fundraiser), which means that the message to the world for several hours after the attacks began was that the US was condemning a movie made in the US even while mobs were attacking the embassies overseas.
• Obama decided that now that things in the Middle East are under control, he is going to change the subject to Romney's taxes.  Yeah, there's nothing more important going on, President Obama, that you should be working on so attacking Romney for not publishing his tax returns is definitely a great use of your time.
• Obama isn't sure if Egypt is an ally.
• Obama is skipping intelligence briefings - a really good idea for the President.  He has more important meetings with Beyonce and George Clooney.
• Oh, and all of this is right after Obama refused to meet with Israeli Prime Minster Netanyahu because he was "busy" with celebrities and fundraising instead.
• And, tomorrow, more riots are expected in more countries.  And, Obama is fundraising.  

Here's a great story at the America Spectator recapping the past few days and Obama's ineptness:

So, let me get this straight:

It is September 11, 2012. An Al Qaeda sponsored mob is marching, running, screaming towards the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Supposedly they are angry about an e-mail cartoon about the Islamic figure, Mohammed. It is known right away that the organizers of the march are the same entity that did the mass murder of Americans on 9.11.01.

The Embassy issues an apology for an American using his free speech rights about a matter of deep concern. They attempt to appease the mob. It doesn't work. The mobs acts violently and disrespectfully towards the U.S. Embassy. They are al Qaeda. This is what they do.

No comment or almost none from Mr. Obama.

Then an al Qaeda mob attacks the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya, burns it, kills the U.S. Ambassador and three other heroic American diplomats. Again, in a classic al Qaeda move, it is all timed perfectly to infuriate the USA. It isn't spontaneous. It was 9/11, for Pete's sake.

No comment from Mr. Obama except terse condolences.

Then along comes Governor Romney, who rightly says, "Hey, why are we appeasing an al Qaeda mob? Why aren't we calling these guys the vicious killers that they are? Why are we back in this apology to bad guys mode?"

Then, and only then, the Obama White House goes into hyper drive. It turns out that the real problem is not al Qaeda. No, and it's not Mr. Obama's appeasement. No, the real threat to America is (wait for it), Mitt Romney. Yes!!! According to White House uber-pal, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Romney is working with the terrorists against the U.S. government by calling for criticism of the al Qaeda!

Yes, Romney is the enemy for pointing out that Mr. Obama is ass kissing the terrorists!

This is terrifying. The media line up to get their marching orders from the Obama Ministry of Truth and suddenly it's Gospel: the problem is not al Qaeda. It is Romney. With a "more in sorrow than in anger…" look and tone, Mr. Obama pities Romney's naïveté.

This is disgusting. It is nauseating. This is what happens when you have a one-party media. The lie becomes the truth. George Orwell saw it coming. In 1984, his MiniTrue had up its mission.

Who controls the present, controls the past.
Who controls the past controls the future.

It has happened. The MSM and the White House have outlawed truth. Some of us old ones can remember when it was legal and the media worked to keep it alive. Now, like the firemen in Fahrenheit 451, the MSM press exists to obliterate truth -- not to preserve it.

Meanwhile, Mr. Netanyahu begs the U.S. to do something to protect it and the world from the Iranian bomb. Mr. Obama bobs and weaves to avoid contact with reality and responsibility. No one even mentions that if we had allowed Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush to build ABM defense, the whole world would be a safer place, and we race towards war or an Islamic control of our expression or both, and the master politician gets ready for his turn on Letterman.

God help us.
