Noshowbama

 

Noshowbama is not a city in Japan, but rather an approach to foreign policy by the current administration when it comes to world leadership or, rather, the lack thereof. While leaders of the free, and not-so-free, world united in clasped arms to march in support of peaceful expression and against extremist terrorism, word has it that our dear leader, Barack Obama, was taking in NFL playoff games in the privacy and comfort of his digs at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The “company line”, as it were, is that the security requirements entailed for “His Arrogance” to participate, along with millions marching in Paris, were so great as to negatively impact the march itself which is a load of horse-hockey- and that’s saying something, given the fertilizer factory that is this administration.

Marching, not even ten feet apart from one another, were Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas, both of whom had the sense of noblesse oblige to join with other world leaders in a joint demonstration of the sentiment that “enough is enough” when it comes to Islamic extremism- something that the Obama administration cannot even vocalize at the end of the day. Attorney General Eric Holder was even in the same city, earlier that morning, but this Administration couldn’t even arrange for his representation in the parade, which says a lot about the priorities of Obama and his world view, which is basically this: “Disrespect your allies and kiss the hind-quarters of your enemy”.

Even the Russians – hardly the bastions of civil liberties- had the wherewithal to send their foreign minister, but the United States couldn’t manage to ante in a vice president (Biden), secretary of state (Kerry) or attorney general (Holder) when, in fact, our president (Obama) could and should have been there. For all world to see, by this absence, Obama has certified his own credentials to his oft-stated view that the United States is not exceptional, nor even classy.

This ranks right up (or, I should say down) there with his presentation to the Queen of England, in honor of her sixtieth jubilee as reigning monarch, an i-Pod containing a collection of his own speeches, along with a “take-this-bust-and- shove-it” 2010 return of Winston Churchill’s bust, which had been presented to former President Lyndon B. Johnson, forty-five years before.

If this is what passes for leadership in the free world, then the free world is as screwed as is ever can, or could, be. Here we have a sitting U. S. president who cares more about seeing who will make the NFL final four, than leading millions of men and women, and leaders across the globe, united to stand and march against totalitarianism and extremism.

It’s enough to make any real American barf up his/her bouillabaisse.

If there is anyone in the United States that still is under the complete and fantastic misconception that Barack Obama is a great leader in the free world, and a great president, than let such a person give him- or herself an overdue swirl-ee in their own toilet, and wake the hell up.

Obama is a coward, a miscreant and utterly unworthy of the office to which he was twice elected, and his exit cannot come quickly enough to a watching world who, at long last, has come to see the light of day- that we are at war with Islamic barbarism, and that the fate of civilization depends on its very outcome.
