At last someone who recognizes the meaning of the name Cassandra - given the gift of prophesy, destined never to be believed. The frustration is immense. To be able to see where we are headed, and to be able to convince no one, only to be vindicated by time, and still to be ignored by those who now believe, must certainly be the ultimate curse.
We are in the midst of a mess that was apparent even before the 2008 election. Candidate Obama was the least suitable candidate for high office since the mid fifties. He had no political management experience; no business management experience, no economic experience of any sort; no foreign political experience; no experience in consensus building; no experience in military matters - other than reviling those who wore the uniform; and no intelligence gathering experience. In short his only experience was in confrontational demand making - demanding monetary, and financial concessions from those who actually worked for a living. In short his strong suit in the 2008 election was reading, and incompetence; both of which he has used to their fullest for five straight years.
He has single-handedly destroyed the U.S. economy - no nation has ever incurred our debt load and ever recovered successfully; undermined the world's 73 year faith in the U.S. dollar as a stable unit of international trade; destroyed the manned U.S. space program; destroyed the U.S. healthcare industry; removed the right of free association from what used to be a free people; used intelligence assets to spy domestically upon a free people; used the most powerful agency in America - the IRS - to beat and punish political adversaries for personal political gain; has removed, world wide, fear of a firm American belief in just retribution for the pursuit of evil in the geographic areas of: the South China Sea, Iran, North Korea, and eastern Europe. He has use the U.S. military repeatedly, and continually, and thus depleted in place military assets without either augmenting, replacing, or retrofitting expended, or worn out assets; he as deployed U.S. military personnel repeatedly year after repeated year - both regular military and reserve units - into combat zones with no end in sight, with no eye to anything but continuing to do in the future what has not worked in the past, or the present. He specifically exposed special operations units to harm by revealing specifically which units conducted which operations exposing them to death and betrayal for his own personal political expediency. He failed to protect American diplomatic missionaries who were under direct attack, and post event, took specific action to hide and obscure the facts of what actions he took, or failed to take while that attack was in progress. He has ignored the lessons of history: "... do not long make war with the same foe, or adversary lest you teach them to defeat you." He has continued with an Attorney general who was found in Contempt of Congress, and has hidden multiple felonies in the form of the illegal export of American firearms into the hands of Mexican criminals who have used those weapons to kill several hundreds of foreign nationals. His personally released birth certificate, regardless of where he was born, is a laughable forgery. His dishonesty is legion, his arrogance is without measure, he recognizes no restraint in the rule of law, and accepts no responsibility for ill outcomes born of stupidity, incompetence, or simple evil intent. His policy, in the final analysis, appears to be: "... I am king, and you aren't..."
While all of the above is incontrovertible, yet this is what America has requested. Not once, but twice - a death wish? Perhaps... yes being Cassandra is a cruel curse to bear - as there is much much more to come in a world with a weak America; he gives somber meaning to the adage: "...beware of what you ask for...." In a world where merit is reviled, incompetence reigns supreme.
