As we sit here on the precipice of another worthless address to the nation by our man child President, one thing is clear, and that is the sad fact that Vladimir Putin is in full out schoolyard teasing mode now. Like the true schoolyard bully, he flashed our Bumbler in Chief a way out of the situation engineered by the odd combination of his utter incompetence, unbridled arrogance, and bizarre belief in appeasement, which is that projection of American Weakness that has served our interests so well in the past. Also like that schoolyard bully, he took that offer away as soon as the feckless Obama reached for it. This address to the nation was announced before these last minute theatrics took place of course, and the original intent was to pitch one more time, his plan to bomb Syria, with no objective in mind, no potential upside for our trouble, and now as it turns out, no clear evidence that Syria in fact crossed that blurry red line drawn, erased, redrawn, erased again, and sort of redrawn, albeit by parties now unidentified. As a helpful gift, our new Secretary of State, John Kerry, (who by the way served in Viet Nam,) has promised that what ever military action we do in fact take, should it come to that, will be so small that he hopes it won’t be likely to upset anyone at all. To which I, and I suspect many others would say, huh! So with the offer from Putin, which by the way started as a gaffe by John Kerry and was subsequently reported by a reporter with a great sense of humor as a joke, having been revoked, just as it was desperately reached for by a President who’s credibility has leaked out his left ear, what in the world will President Zero tell us tonight? Here are my five predictions.
1. Expect that soaring rhetoric and those empty platitudes that we have come to know and loathe so well. It’ll make the dumber of our citizenry feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but will leave anyone with two functioning grey cells bewildered. I’m sure the usual pleas of coming to the aid of those suffering will be mentioned, multiple times, enough in fact to make one ill. Glossed over however will be the fact that the rebels are indeed not the terrible long suffering people of Syria, but in reality peopled entirely by Al Queda, those same fine gents who flew planes into the WTC and Pentagon about a decade ago, and are most probably the guys who actually used those chemical weapons that Bashir Assad has been accused of using.
2. In the game of the ensuing strike, and waste of our national defense resources, being on again, off again, on again, off again, put me down for on again. Barack Obama will not get the approval he seeks from the House, and even the Senate is now faltering, having seen first hand how vehemently against this the American People are. He does however face some more critical problems, like losing what ever little bit of credibility he had to begin with. Half of us have known for a while that his statements and promises come with fairly short expiration dates, less than the sell by dates found on anything in the dairy case in fact, but now the Bamster’s performance of late has brought into that fold most of the other half of the country as well. He’s damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t. This is a test of another pet theory of mine however, and that is this. His loyalties have always been more in line with the Muslim Brotherhood, and his ever evolving foreign policy has always magically formed to each situation so as to benefit that group above all others. Bombing Syria will aid the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, the strike is on.
3. Barack Obama is as of now, a Lame Duck President. It will be a long time before anyone takes him seriously. He’ll be allowed to address a future Democrat National Convention, as an ex-President, but only one. He has also severely damaged Hillary Clinton’s electoral prospects, who must be sitting at home looking over her copy of the contract in which she’s sold her soul, and is desperately looking for a loop hole, seeing as how the Devil failed to disclose the fact that she’d be screwed so thoroughly by Bozo The President.
4. John Kerry does not last the full four years as Secretary of State. Remember those calls for Hillary Clinton to have her picture placed on a milk carton when she was Secretary of State? That was nothing more than self preservation on her part. John Kerry is not nearly so smart, and he decided to be helpful right from the start, and he’ll be the one who’ll end up under the Team Zero Bus over all of this. He may be aligned politically with the Bamster, but when push comes to shove, he ain’t one of them, not by a damn sight. John Kerry has not learned that Team members participating in the Obama Administration are best not seen and not heard, until Barack needs his bacon to be saved. The only down side of saying good by to Lurch is that his replacement is bound to be every bit as terrible a choice as both he and Hillary turned out to be.
5. The 2014 midterms will be the same epic disaster for the Democrats that the 2010 midterms were. Electorally, the Republicans will clean house, led by a Tea Party tsunami. After the tsunami, the GOP will once again tell all members of the Tea Party to shut up and fall in line, and those very same leaders of the GOP will spend another couple of years refusing to state our argument in any appreciable way. They’ll not oppose the Zero for fear of being labeled racist homophobic misogynists, and the end result will be another two years of capitulation which will end up putting life back into a Hillary campaign that by all rights should be dead already.
Special Note: Last week I received another half dozen solicitations by the Republican Party for donations to, “help defeat the radical Obama Agenda.” Once again, I gave them nothing, since I am convinced that their goal is to help facilitate the radical Obama Agenda.
