This, seen at protein wisdom, is illustrative of Games Presidents Play and the Consequences of Poor Choices. Darleen Click...

To expand, I suspect that Barack Obama, child of privilege and born “black” into a left-dominated culture that fetishized him, grew up feeling entitled to his good fortune, regardless of real effort. His whole life he has had people scrambling to do for him, to see him as “the first black [fill in]” so as to be able to say to themselves “see what I did? I helped achieve this so I’m proving I’m not racist.”

Obama wanted healthcare “reform” but handed it off to Pelosi and Reid. Indeed, he bristled at any dissent, so much so, he cut off communication with Republicans on the issue last March. “I Won” Obama feels entitled to unquestioned deference — along with media facetime on his terms and whims. Just let him eat his waffle or make his tee time.

Abdulmutallab shouldn't have assumed a seat on any commercial flight, especially one bound for Detroit from Amsterdam, given the warning signs he had displayed. We knew this kid was trouble. Wheels didn't turn; people didn't act. Top Management must pay for this.

Janet Reno Napolitano should go. Today would be just fine, Janet, for a nice resignation letter. Or, if Barry has the ballz, a (fuzzy?) cowboy boot to your ass.

Dick Cheney...

"As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war." [emboldenings mine]

Good to hear from a real man, one who knows what's needed.

Listen up, Barry. You're supposed to take charge, make the right decisions, have the buck stop at your desk. A good start would be booting Napolitano.

Or yourself.
