Just how naïve is President Obama?
By Richard BaehrToday, from the group Stratfor, comes this stunning offer to Iran from President Obama:"U.S. President Barack Obama said July 7 that if Iran stops its nuclear weapon development program, the U.S, has no reason to develop a missile defense system, Interfax reported. Obama was speaking at the Russian School of Economics in Moscow."Is the President unaware that North Korea is a nuclear power, and produces long range missiles that it tests and delivers to other countries? Are there no other threats from terror groups or nations, other than Iran for which an American missile... (Read Full Article)

Mr. Baehr, don't you get it? This is where BO's hope kicks in. Just days after that change thang.
Turn BO over and read the label:
1) Insert hope here -->*<---
2) Insert more hope when it becomes obvious that you did not insert enough the first time.
3) Repeat as necessary.

I find it absolutely breathtaking how on any given day treasonous Barry Hussein Osama has been to our country; and then the next day he out-does himself.
When will this nightmare end? How is it we allowed someone with not simply zero positive qualifications but negative qualifications and no proof of citizenship? to run?

Yes, Obama really believes that if we lay down our weapons, the world will love us. He is a hippy peacenik, just like his adolescent mother. Peace loving, weapon hating progressives are having their chance to rule the world with their One. When he fails, can we all agree that marxism doesn't work and move on?

"Is Obama so delusional about nuclear weapons, that he thinks if we disarm (the proposed agreement with Russia), and follow up by giving up our missile defenses, that the world will lay down its arms, and start singing Pete Seeger songs?"
-----
Yes.
If one must be picky however a distinction should be made between naivete and folly. Though they share common features and can produce similar, usually unintended and undesirable results, they are not the same thing. A person who is merely naive remains capable of learning from his mistakes and becoming wiser as experience continues to tell against his wrong ideas. A foolish person, on the other hand, is not capable of profiting from experience. As the dog to his vomit, so does the fool return to his folly.
Evidence is mounting that Mr. Obama is a fool. This suggests that he cannot learn from his mistakes and that he will respond to negative results caused by his foolish ideas with still more and more harmful foolish ideas. He will dig deeper in the hole he has dug for himself and the rest of us. He will reinforce rather than relinquish failure. He will throw good money after bad. This, after all, is what fools do and why we call them fools. They are incorrigible.
It is unfair and misleading to single out Mr. Obama for being a fool since it is obvious he is surrounded, backed, advised and supported by equal or greater fools, people who will never learn from experience, people who will react to the failure or bad outcome of imposing their foolish ideas by redoubling their folly and like Procrustes mutilating whoever and whatever needs mutilating to fit their folly. A bad business. A very bad business.
But though it is quite hopeless and a form of folly itself to expect fools to change their ways and cease being fools, it is by no means beyond possibility that as the predictable results of their folly continue to roll in like the tides, depositing fresh wreckage and decaying corpses every day, others will begin to pay closer attention to what the fools are doing and the results thereof.
The spectacle of our profoundly foolish President and his equally foolish entourage traipsing around and playing grownup and statesman with the likes of Vladimir Putin is excruciatingly embarrassing. There can be little doubt how people like Putin view our pathetic President and his cloud-cuckooland fantasy world of international relations and geopolitics. Mr. Obama is the poster child for the bourgeois socialist-reformer useful idiot, a well-meaning fool who, though he understands less than nothing about the reality of the world and the class struggle, nevertheless can upon occasion prove malleable in pursuit of one's own goals.
The tragedy that the Obama Presidency was bound to become seems to be entering the third act. One dreads what is certain to come while longing for the relief of just getting on with it and getting it behind us. We live in interesting times.

Words have no meaning to affirmative action kiddo. He just says whatever pops up on TOTUS. What might help him is a 2 X 4 upside the head -- of TOTUS. For those of you thinking the CIA or FBI might want to know the danger Zero is putting USA into: forget it, they are still trying to put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Yoo, Ashcroft in jail for keeping USA safe.

The big question is this: now that the Russians have taken the measure of our Fool, what will they do next? Surely they have figured out that now is the time to "strike." I predict there are more tests coming for the One, e.g., in Ukraine and Georgia. Bring 'em on! The sooner Obama is exposed for what he is--even to point that his sycophantic media supporters can no longer hide the truth--the better for all of us!

Is there room in that Jackson coffin for two? How dare the idiot media criticize Palin! Obama is pure and simple a fraud backed by a party of frauds. This is one more irresponsible action after another. Next, he will be sending our troops into battle without weapons but armed by Obama lightning bolts made from cardboard with a message of to die in battle is a one way ticket to Obambi heaven - headquartered in Never Neverland. I would say get this jackass out of office before he does too much damage, but it is too late for that.
How stupid is this idiot anyway? He looks at the Treasury and says we have no money - damned right he spent it all, so what is his answer? Cap and tax and nationalized health care. He looks at Iran and shrugs, but when looking at Honduras he supports the violation of instituted law by their supreme court. He looks at Iran's nuclear potential and disarms as North Korea fires missile in the neighbor hood of our troops in Japan and South Korea while planning to fire a missile toward Hawaii. This idiot has violated his pledge to defend this country. That is grounds for impeachment like no other before him. He is so lazy and incompetent that instead of managing government he bypasses the cabinet to appoint czars for everything.
We can't afford to wait until 2012. Get this incompetent out now!

And here we all thought Sarah Palin was the person who was too ignorant and dumb to be fit for office ... of course, the sycophants on CNN, MSNBC etc will probably drink this kool-aid too and hail this as another example of how Obama is changing the paradigm. Or whatever.

once marginalized as the blithering idiot that he is someone in a leadership position (outside of the admin) might start to say aloud that obambi doesn't speak for the usa. it could get dicey if his numbers drop significantly, which i expect.
i see a time when foreign leaders will bypass obambi and speak to more serious domestic leaders on foreign affairs.
secondly, i could envision a scenario where a loud chorus begins to ask him to step down if the currency melts and u3 and u6 approach 15% and 25%, respectively. look for polls asking the question whether he ought to step down.
risk for everybody is very high.

He and his group of cronies (i.e. Pelosi, Acorn, etc.) targeted all the brain-deads in our country. He went on David Letterman and other similar shows to reach the people who don't watch the real news station and radio talk shows that give you real story on this man and his crooked pals. They talked about nice things like welfare, free healthcare and legalization. All the warm and fuzzy things that people such as these look for in their commander and thief. He spoke to the people in their language who have their hands out promising them things everyone with a right mind knew he could not deliver without raping others and their paychecks in the process. These people voted for him because they wanted a free ride. The stimulus bill and others he's trying to pass are all payoffs to his pals, payoffs for getting him elected. He's lied, cheated and now stealing to get where he is today and continue to stay there as long as possible. Don't teach them how to fish, feed them so they are yours forever. But, as history has dictated, he will fall, don't now how much damage people will let him get away with, but he will fall. The funny thing about all this is you don't really hear anything from all these people who have endorsed him (i.e. Oprah, Clooney, etc.) Where are all these people? I think they're hiding in their little bomb shelters just waiting for the Obama Bomb to drop. I don't even know why people continue to pay for their movies or even watch their talk shows. It's beyond me where the brains of our society have run off to. He's like a child in a candy store. He's so excited to be there and he's out of control. He craves so much to be a star and wants so many people to like him that he doesn't care what he does. He's probably one of the most insecure people I have ever had the unfortunate chance to know. His day will come and it will come for the rest of his friends.
He better watch where he walks because when he does eventually trip over his own ego, his so-called friends will not be there to pick him up.

Well, I am gonna give him a pass on this one. The reason is that only a witless fool would actually think the Khomeinist regime in Iran is going to stop its nuclear program and abandon its ambitions to topple Israel and the United States so it can lead the caliphate of the World. Oh, gosh, wait a minute. Was it Obama who said as a candidate that he thought it possible? Well, despite the semi-contradiction, he was likely just trying to please his Russian hosts when he said what he said, and referring in his mind only to the Polish deployment. He's a big pleaser you know.
Now that that is more or less cleared up, don't we all feel better?

Yes, he is that delusional. He was also delusional to think he was remotely qualified to be president of this country. He has remarkable success with his delusions. He has deluded himself all the way to the most important job in the world. Unfortunately for us, the delusions stop there. He can still base his decisions on delusions, of course, but the results will be real. Real bad.

Right now, the Russians are laughing their a$$e$ off. They have no intention of reducing their missle count.
Their attitude is "we'll do nothing. If the US also does nothing, we're no worse off than we were before. But if this Nancy-boy really does intend to get the US to reduce its missle count, we'll be ahead of the game."
Russia -- status quo or winner
US -- status quo or loser
Nice job, Mr. Empty Suit. Remind me again, do you get paid for this?

History repeats itself: After meeting Pres. Kennedy -- a very likeable person of no particular experience, but who was very impressed with his own abilities -- Pres. Charles DeGaulle -- whose experience included familiarity with pre-WWII French politicians who believed that they could negotiate with anyone -- asked himself a simple question: "Would the US trade Washington for Paris?" By that question, Pres. DeGaulle meant, if the USSR decided to conduct a limited nuclear attack on France -- say 1 missile that destroyed Paris -- would the US honor its treaty obligations that required it to regard an attack on any NATO nation as an attack on the US and to make a full strategic response (i.e., would the US respond to the limited nuclear attack on France as if it had been a nuclear attack on a US city, and so risk a Soviet response against Washington and other US cities?).
Pres. DeGaulle concluded that the answer was "No."
Based on that conclusion, he withdrew France from certain of NATO's military structures -- those requiring unanimous concurrence of all NATO nations (including the US) in order to free French military forces, and in particular the French Foreign Legion, so that they could be deployed as France saw fit, and ordered the development of a French strategic nuclear force (air, ICBM and submarine) as a deterrent to any threat of a limited nuclear strike by the USSR.
By, again, proving that the US is not a trustworthy ally, Pres. Obama will prompt more nations to ask the same question. However, in the last almost 50 years, the technology for developing a strategic WMD force is much more wide spread. There are commercial firms building rockets capable of sub-orbital flight. Japan, among others, has launched satellites. Getting a payload to space is the difficult part—bringing it down isn’t that hard unless you’re concerned with pinpoint accuracy. Quite a few nations have the resources and engineering capability of purifying uranium to weapons grade (and, recall that the original trigger for an Atomic warhead was a breach assembly from a 5-inch Naval gun – so, it isn’t that hard to build a working detonator, if you don’t mind a relatively dirty detonation). Further, for nations that don’t have the ability to develop nukes, chemical weapons are called “the poor man’s nuke.”
Not only has Pres. Obama essentially told Japan, South Korea, and other nations that may be threatened by North Korea (and China) that they are on their own, he has also told the former Warsaw Pact and former Soviet Republics that they cannot look to the US for protection. The eastern European nations will be forced to seek that from the EU – France already having a nuclear deterrent capability. However, the EU is not merely a military and political organization, as NATO is. Rather, it is also an economic organization. Accordingly, eastern European nations that turn to the EU will also be required to abide by EU economic policies that will restrict, and in some cases close, their markets to the US. Who Japan, South Korea and other Asian nations will turn to isn’t as clear. However, given that China could probably force North Korea to disarm, captive markets that exclude US competition might be of interest to China. Although Japan and South Korea have the ability to develop their own nuclear forces, they may choose to avoid the costs of that and become economic vassels of China in return for its protection, especially since China hasn't been too high handed in its treatment of Hong Kong.
You really have to wonder if anyone advising Pres. Obama has thought about more than tomorrow’s NYT headlines?

Is Obama of his full wits? Does he have that much contempt for the U.S? Does he really believe his own hype?
Stop the Iranian nuke development programme and the U.S. will halt missle defense? Is the African Colonial for real????
This story should be on every newspaper and news programme in the country. 52% of Americans just voted a dilletante, egocentric, "hipster dufus" into the white house with absolutely ZERO understanding of the office and it's responsibilities.
This kind of story makes one want to punch the monitor in frustration.
Heaven help this country...at least we can stem the bleeding in 2010 and take away the African Colonial's mandate.

Typical freak lib. If we disarm then everyone else will, oh how cheery and loving.
To bad there is no historical basis in the liberal fantasy, in fact, the Soviet Union would be here today if not for peace through strength.
In addition, a missile defense is NOT offensive so how in the world can this be justified?
I have never in all my life seen a more inept man. How many Americans will die to satisfy this mans naivete?

Obama is immature and arrogant and thinks that everybody is as love with him as he is with himself. All he hears in the echo chamber of his very empty head is how fabulous he is.
He's like a bratty child whose parents never say no. There is absolutely nobody saying "NO" to Obama. He's just getting away with more and more, and the more he gets away with, the more he wants.
I am convinced that he is now so fully delusional as to be completely disconnected from any reality except for the one he inhabits. If he says it, it will be so. All he need do is stretch forth his hand and calm the waters. I really don't think that he has any idea of how world leaders really regard him. Come on. Do you think they wanted him elected because it was in their best interests?
There will come a time when all his silky words and personal demeanor won't count for squat. When people are paying through the nose to heat/cool their houses, feed themselves, and drive back and forth to work (those who still have jobs), they're not going to care a wit about how good he looks or how smooth he sounds. And when those higher taxes kick in for our "free" health care and when the Bush tax cuts expire, the hue and cry could be resounding.
The good thing is, his fall will be spectacular. How could it not be from so great a height ("he's sort of God").

I had 2 weeks in Moscow and St. Petersburg. And the people are good. The leaders are a different story.
The leaders are partying tonight. With double shots. What a foolish naive President. Perhaps it is more than that. I do not know.
MSM is great. We get the shots of the Messiah in Moscow, but nothing about him selling out our defense.
This all is NOT going to end well.

Oh, geeze...
I'll keep this short and to the point: Hussein is a traitor, as is his party.
Well, maybe not a traitor to his ideology (Marx-Leninism), but he is to his "adopted" country...and should be exiled back to Kenya or Indonesia (whichever one he's from this week), but whichever...GET THAT CREEP OUT OF OFFICE AND KEEP THAT MORON BIDEN AWAY FROM THE OVAL OFFICE, TOO!!!
I'm ready for a revolution...anyone else?
"This ain't Dodge City, and you ain't Bill Hickok."

Evidently you must tell us yet one more time if you wish to awake those who yet sleep. Be so kind as to try again.
I am not so sure anybody frequenting sites like AT could be described as asleep, however. It looks to me like people here are wide awake, firing distress flares for all they are worth, transmitting SOS, sounding general quarters, dashing for the lifeboats or looking to uncase and roll out the guns. Or perhaps we are just jumping up and down and barking and howling. However one chooses to describe it, asleep or dozing and therefore oblivious to the national security and prosperity Titanic-iceberg catastrophe that Mr. Obama and his pals represent surely does not apply. No one seems to doubt that we are in big trouble and that more is on the way. The election of Mr. Obama is proving to be an even worse disaster than many who foresaw disaster imagined.
The differences of opinion appear to revolve around how best to account for the disaster itself. This bears some connection to what to do about it. It is an important debate.
I suspect that your bugle seeks to wake and summon those you suppose to be asleep, to embrace some version of political Manicheanism, in which Mr. Obama and his backers are to be regarded as evil, crafty, cunning, self-conscious and horribly clever Machiavellian Fifth Columnists working to overthrow the American Republic. At any rate it is evident many who are alarmed at what is happening appear to believe this. It is not on the face of things an implausible theory. One can easily understand why people would think this way. I have long been tempted towards such an explanation myself.
Further developments and new data -there is no shortage of fresh data!- make me doubt the Evil Secret Conspiracy model. The main reason? Mr. Obama and his supposedly diabolically clever co-conspirators keep making such transparent fools of themselves. It is hard for me to take a truly Manichean view of people who are, to me at least, increasingly beginning to look like bumbling clowns. It would be very disappointing if the forces of darkness could not put on a better show than this gang. Talk about the banality of evil!
It is of course still too early to be sure. It could, for instance, be merely a ploy to PRETEND to look like fools in order to disguise their true, secret, crafty and well-thought-out evil plot. Should this be the case, one must admire the degree to which Obama & Co. have managed to LOOK LIKE fools. The resemblance, as the saying goes, is uncanny.
For now, I think the preponderance of the evidence is that they ARE fools. This for me is far more alarming than the possibility that they are evil plotters who know what they are doing and are actually executing a coherent agenda of some kind. That would be a step up from what seems to me to be a motley crew of perfect fools of all descriptions who have no idea whatever of what they are up to except that they desire to improve everything and everybody. What really scares me is the possibility that they actually believe everything they are saying and that they are convinced their programs are going to be good for the country and even the world.
Wachtet auf? Bitte! What do you see or think you see that we are missing? And what is to be done?

Yes! You go Baehr! nicely said.
don't you know that as soon as Iran agrees, the world will achieve total, permanent world peace? That after that unbelievable gesture of peace and goodwill all other conflicts will end with no losers. The Koreas would reunite. The Chinese will make peace with Tibetans and set them free, the palestinians will just pack up and go home, Syria will bequeath huge tracts of land to Israel as a peace offering, Osama Bin Laden will turn himself in and disband his network of terror. Armies would disband, because they had nothing to do anymore. The crime rate would disappear overnight, and thousands of jobs would be lost in law enforcement and judicial sectors worldwide. They'd all quickly find work growing flowers and making moccasins! Ahh, what a wonderful world!

Remember, Obama hates the "Star Spangled Banner" and wanted to change our national anthem over to "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" (you know, the soda song from the 70's). WHile he's switching out our national anthem he can switch our our Constitution for some ALinsky "Rules for Radicals" and slip that into the national archives. I really don't think the majority of Americans would even care.

Fascinating. Under cover of the Michael Jackson circus, Obama is in Russia giving away the store up to and including his Oath of Office. Imagine, all this in less than 6 months. This administration devolves by the minute.
Teleologicus, kudos. Your posts are amazing!

This is bad...very bad. But the coup de tat will come about next fall, when he, along with Raymond Lansbury(AKA John McCain), will legalize 20 million illegal aliens. This will permanently swamp the American economy and add some 15 million new Democrat votes, making all Obama/Emanuel/Ayers actions in destroying America absolutely irreversible.

It should, and absolutely could, end at a pinnacle moment in the chambers of SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts. When he finally has an "aha" moment and realizes just what checks and balances actually means!
If anyone can propose a more absolute, fundamental solution; please do so. However it comes to pass, that this Usurper is removed from office, there will likely be bloodshed on a probable large scale. Time is of the essence.

I go for that answer. This SOB is a TROJAN HORSE. He is here to take the US down from the inside out. How naive WE are!!
The only difference we have with Honduras.. Our Congress actually supports this SOB! We have 545 people and 300,ooo,ooo of us! Do we let this SOB get away with treason against our country. We cannot stop there. All 545 have committed treason! Arrest ALL of them, and lets start over!

BHO's seeming penchant for "rewrites" of personal stories, political events, facts, statistics, etc., seem harmless enough..but are they?
----------------------
Headline for a UTube Video just posted:
Obama Attempts to Tell Russian Students How He Met Michelle Without Using His Teleprompter...Get's it Completely Wrong.....You can watch him say ---
“I don’t know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I’m sure that you’re all going to have wonderful careers”
The truth: He didn't meet her "in class," but at a Chicago law firm in 1989.....
----------------------
While this is rather innocuous in the grand scheme of things....it is just another of many of his "rewrites" -- why would he even deem it appropriate to lie to a Russian audience????
While his seeming ease of re-writing the truth on items that can be verified -- how can we trust him to be truthful with ANY information we may not be able to vet....much less trust his judgement on points of gravitas??
What is wrong with him?.....This is not naivete.
