In his weekly radio address yesterday, President Barack Obama patted himself on the back for having “refocused the fight – bringing to a responsible end the war in Iraq, which had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks”.
He then told people to remember that “our adversaries are those who would attack our country, not our fellow Americans”, before decrying “fear and cynicism” and “partisanship and division” – the code phrases for horrid Republicans used during his 2008 election campaign.
Complacency, faux moralising and partisan shots at Republicans. It was a neat summary of where Obama is going wrong after the Christmas Day debacle when the Nigerian knicker bomber managed to waltz onto a Detroit-bound flight.
Do read it all. Harnden is blunt about the failures of Obama, his minions and their policies.
One gets the impression that Obama, when he is old and has a case of constipation, will blame that on Bush, too.
The fact is that Obama is weak on terror and the terrorists surely know it.
Looks like Democrats have given up on trying to convince people that the country is on the right track.
Instead, they have decided to go nuclear. If you thought that the 2006 and 2008 campaigns run by Democrats were filthy and issue-less, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
