Obama has lost it!

I find, these days, that events are transpiring so rapidly and with so many of them that I cannot keep up with the day to day changes, alerts, breaking news, speculation and the like.

 

One stable factor is that O is decidedly losing it. Perhaps he cannot keep up either.

 

His silly trip to Africa brings little to the table other than rampant  criticism that he and his family and his entourage are undoubtedly the most traveled lot in American history. Of course, the associated costs are astronomic; a fact to which he seems to be totally oblivious.

 

The major news carriers are going bonkers playing the game 'Where in the World is Edward Snowden'. They are pretty sure he has departed Hong Kong. Opinion clusters around the speculation that both HK and their Mainland Chinese mentors were delighted to see the back of him and thereby minimize what could have been a monumental diplomatic rift.

 

The Russians claim Snowden is in travelers limbo being neither in nor out of Russia but somewhere in between. I dare say the speculators are correct that he is at the airport in some Kafkaesque hotel being squeezed by the succors to the KGB until he regurgitates all he knows.

 

Putin disagrees saying the man is outside of their control and therefor untouchable since Russia has no jurisdiction over him. What a load of bollocks that is. If Putin can reach all the way to London to off one of his own, he certainly can walk over to the airport and knock on Snowden's door.

 

One thing is very clear. The USA looks a complete ninny in its lame efforts to get a bead on Snowden's whereabouts. We look and indeed are weak and everyone knows it. It is time to put O's policy of engagement aside and look for a big stick. Frankly, nobody thinks O has got the balls.

 

His efforts to divert attention by suddenly coming up with a major speech on the environment, global warming and the need to curtail coal fueled industries caught everyone off guard. We expected something about the IRS capers, the NSA hacking, Snowden's legal status, or phone tapping our journalists. Instead, we get a speech on global warming.

 

Typical of a second, lame duck, presidential term, the incumbent's political chickens are coming home to roost.

 

And roosting they are, big time.

 

Public and media attention has already begun to morph into items on possible candidates for the next presidential election. Hillary is high on the democratic list as is, can you believe it, Joe Biden.
