Discovering gold nuggets in them hills with a pickax is easier than understanding President Obama’s foreign policy. Future left-wing historians may try to spit-shine the Obama legacy, but his policies have been destructive, costly, and irreparable. Anticipation of what Obama will do over his remaining two years is creating lots of fear in the hearts of Americans.

Then again, there may be hope; “hope” that we are all comatose and soon will wakeup from this bad dream.

Ever notice Obama’s blank expression when explaining to the American people that he didn’t know anything about the latest national security debacle or disclosed new scandal? Perhaps he is too focused on granting citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants, fulfilling his promise to fundamentally change America.

Some say that “government is the problem.” Today our problem is this Administration’s weakness, timidity, and lack of vision, particularly in the area of national security.

In 2011, against career military advice, this President pursued the full withdrawal of American forces from Iraq without leaving a “smidgeon” of troops to protect our hard fought victory. Our void in that powderkeg helped destabilize the country and fueled the growth of ISIS, which last winter Obama referred to as a “JV” team. Today, that Islamic terrorist organization pursues its unabated bloody path. Again, Obama was supposedly unaware of this festering danger until recently; this is his excuse for not arming our allies sooner, helping the people of Syria, or assisting in their fight with concentrated U.S. air power. ISIS terror is now spreading not only throughout the Middle East but also on U.S. soil, Europe, and Canada. The terrorists are here. The politics of this Administration stand in the way of the force necessary that would obliterate the satanic barbarism of ISIS and other menacing Islamic terror threats to the United States.

While the Pentagon and State Department should be focusing like a laser on the growth of Arab terror, Obama’s Secretary of State has instead directed his ire at our key Middle East ally, Israel, leaving little doubt which side this Administration supports. John Kerry actually places the blame of Islamic “extremism” squarely on the lack of an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord. How is a peace accord supposed to be achieved with Hamas and the corrupt Palestinian leadership that repeatedly call for the Jewish State’s destruction? Our own State Department recognizes Hamas as a terror organization. Does Kerry actually believe an agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians would stop the Syrians from murdering their own, would cause Hezbollah would pack up their 50,000 or so missiles in Southern Lebanon, or the Ayatollahs to sing in the sunshine?

Pressuring Israel into an indefensible so-called “peace agreement” with a corrupt dictatorial Palestinian leadership that does not even accept the Jewish State’s right to exist is ludicrous.
