Plays From The Book Of Whimsy.



Plays From The Book Of Whimsy.  There have been some very odd occurrences in WDC over the last few weeks; one must wonder exactly what playbook the quarterbacks are using.  Given the inexplicable, nonsensical, and illogical actions of our President, his minions, and our Congress, I am thinking they are all pulling their audibles from the Book of Whimsy.

Certain Republican members in the House continue to dwell in the kingdom of denial, failing to acknowledge that the Affordable Care Act is now the law of the land.  Instead of addressing their primary duties of passing appropriations bills, they continually obsess with crazy schemes to derail Obamacare.  Instead of addressing the critical debt ceiling issue that is rapidly approaching and threatening the very function of our government, they play to the press with odd comments about the bizarre foreign policy of our President.

What but whimsy describes the foreign policy decisions by Obama.  He has descended to a level where he addresses the nation and presents a one-on-one debate…with himself.  Not only is he facile, unprincipled, and clearly in over his head; he is also so clearly devoid of any actual strategy that he cannot express his own positions without contradicting himself within the same speech.  As many have written in the last week or so, this is what America gets when we put a community organizer in charge of our government. America must learn to elect office holders the same way we hire employees; select the best qualified candidate.

Obamacare was perhaps the single worst piece of legislation ever passed in this country; but it was passed.  Get on with the business of fixing it, in part or in whole, and quit trying to rewrite history.    And Mr. President, please swallow your pride and acknowledge your inadequacies.  Please find some people who you trust that are capable and competent to make foreign policy decisions and…wait for it…BEGIN TO LISTEN TO THEM.  The colossal mess Obama has made of domestic policy is causing great damage to the country and pain to many people, but it will be overcome in time; the healing aspects of a growing economy are amazing indeed.   As bad as it has been, this country will learn from Obama’s presidential tenure about how not to run a government.  But for heaven’s sake, do not continue to conduct world affairs using the same playbook.  The President thinks that the visions that dance through his head are somehow ordained and all the powers that be will see that they become reality.  Unfortunately, his naïve world view combined with his arrogance and ignorance has formed a deadly cocktail that is rapidly bringing our nation to the brink of global military confrontation.  If our President wants to be a liberal, then by all means, be a liberal; you did win.  But find some of the liberals out there that have some experience in foreign affairs and listen to their advice before you continue calling your audibles from the Book of Whimsy.
