While the media is trying to resurrect an "energized and agressive Obama," we remember his failures and the fact that he is now, a lame duck president

--WashPost A1, "Defiant Obama to go on offense in State of the Union address," by David Nakamura:"After two years in which the White House often found itself on the defensive, .... the president and his advisers have made 'a tactical change,' said Simon Rosenberg, founder of the New Democrat Network, a liberal think tank. 'They're doing a better job at creating attention around the fact that they actually have a plan, a series of things they want to do.'" http://wapo.st/15rSJj9

Editor's notes: Understand this: you will see more and more headlines touting the "newly energized Obama."  If you get caught up in this rhetorical strategy,  and that is all it is  . . . .   an empty strategy,  you will forget that this is the "election cycle genius"  who injected his policies into the 2014 elections,  "every one of them,"  got the worst beat down in nearly 100 years (seriously, worst beat down since the mid-1920's) in return for his arrogant self-assertion.

Let's forget that it was his policies that lost in 2014,  "every one of them."  And what were these policies:

1.  His support for radical Islam including his funding of the PLO,  his backstabbing of the Libyan and Egyptian presidents, his refusal to criticize "radical Islam" in spite of the dangers its presents,  his support for the radical Muslim Brotherhood, and his support of CAIR in domestic politics, to name a few issues.

2.  His decision to abandon the capture and interrogation of enemy combatants.  Sadly, we know less about radical Islam now,  than before 9/11.

3.  His refusal to call the Fort Hood killings,  an act of war.  This tragedy happened in November of 2009,  and, until December of 2014,  the men and women killed or wounded in that event by a Muslim jihadist,  were denied benefits and recognition (i.e. the Purple Heart).  Since December,  the nonsense of calling Fort Hood, "workplace violence" was officially rejected,  opening the door to future recognition and benefits to its victims.

4.  His abandonment of Iraq and the subsequent disaster we are witnessing in that country,  as we write this post.  That is all on Obama.

5.  The losing war effort in Afghanistan  . . .    an embarrassment on a grand scale,  with 80% of all casualties in that country the end game of his "righteous war."  Turns out,  as a military strategist,  this man is a buffoon.

6. His failed energy policies,  including forced higher prices on fossil fuels,  the wasteful investments in any number of alternative energy strategies including his failure to create a new and promised electric grid,  the corruption we saw as he "invested" in one failed effort (batteries,  golf cart give-aways,  over-priced electric cars,  failed wind and solar projects, his closure to drilling in the Gulf and on federal lands,  and his idiotic attack on coal).

7.  His failed policies as to reduced college costs.

8.  His abject failure to create a path to increased wealth within the black community.

9.  His support of Communist leadership in South America in Hondruas,  Cuba and Venezuela,  to name three of his most prominent departures from accepted American policies.

10. His decision to include a radical element in his Administration,  including Al Sharpton as a chief and "principle" adviser (for gawd sake), the self-proclaimed "activist,  Eric Holder,  Valarie Jarrett  (an Iranian born woman who has been with the Obama's since before their marriage),  Van Jones (a 10 year card carrying Communist),  and members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

11.  His refusal to work with Congress including both the Democrat Senate or the GOP controlled House.

12.  His tax policies,  leading to the highest taxes increases in human history,  much less American history.  Understand that our annual debt has gone down,  in the past two years,

13.  ObamaCare and its laughable implementation.

14.  The failed and unwritten Dodd/Frank "too big to fail" economic reform law,  that has been criticized by the likes of Leftist, Elizabeth Warren.  Understand that half of this law,  signed into law in July of 2010,  remains unwritten,  with 25% of the law without a skeletal foundation.  In other words,  it is a joke.

15.  His failure to secure a signal annual budget.  We have not had a budget since Obama came into office  . . .   not one in six years of administration  . . . . . . .  as ordered by law.

16.  His "red-line" disaster in Syria.

17.  His support for Iran and its nuclear development.

18.  His opposition to Israel and support for a return to the pre-1967 Israeli borders.

19.  His overt support for the "prophet Mohammed."

20.  His hatred for the GOP and anything "conservative."

21.  His disrespect for court decisions and Constitutional limitations.

Understand that because of Obama,  the Democrat Party has gone from his strongest domestic influence in American history,  to its weakest time since the mid-1920's.
