From the left: Obama Never Shed His Arrogance
Obama adviser Ben Rhodes’ memoir, says The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd, further proves that “Obama always found us wanting.” After President Trump’s victory, Obama wondered if he wanted too much from the American people, if we were really ready for him. “He’s saying that, sadly, we were not enlightened enough for the momentous changes wrought by the smartest people in the world,” Dowd writes, adding that Obama thinks “We just weren’t ready for his amazing awesomeness.” What Obama never understood, Dowd writes, is that his election was a momentous step in American politics and culture — but that once he became president, he had to govern. Hope is for the future, but when it comes to the present, voters “needed to know, what’s in it for them?”
Foreign desk: Palestinians’ Strategic Blind Spot
President Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem shows the danger in the Palestinian strategy of internationalizing the conflict and relying on the “international community” to do its work for it, explains Haviv Rettig Gur at the Times of Israel. “The only real alternative to internationalization (besides terrorism, of course, which vanishingly few Palestinians still view as a winning strategy) is to meaningfully engage with Israel and Israelis, a step too ideologically and politically painful for any major Palestinian faction to contemplate seriously,” notes Gur. Plus, internationalizing the conflict doesn’t require the Palestinians to give up their dream of undoing Israel’s reestablishment in 1948. As they discovered when Trump moved the embassy, however: This strategy “leaves you vulnerable when those politics change.”

ReplyDeleteThe late Billy Carter was an embarrassment to his brother Jimmy on more than one occasion. After one of those episodes the plain-spoken and colorful Billy said "I never said my s*it don't stink."
At the core, Obama's self and world view was always out of focus with reality because he thought his didn't.
An act, a veneer, a pose - that's Barry. Lucky for him other people's money kept him afloat. An honest day's work isn't in his DNA.
Obumma is an arrogant, narcisist IMO ... and theres not a bit of racism in that statement for you haters out there.
