Midknight Review -- new and revised: WSJ: Obama is unteachable.

Recall that it wasn’t long ago that Mr. Obama took a sunnier view of world affairs. The tide of war was receding. Al Qaeda was on a path to defeat. ISIS was “a jayvee team” in “Lakers uniforms.” Iraq was an Obama administration success story. Bashar Assad’s days were numbered. The Arab Spring was a rejoinder to, rather than an opportunity for, Islamist violence. The intervention in Libya was vindication for the “lead from behind” approach to intervention. The reset with Russia was a success, a position he maintained as late as September 2013. In Latin America, the “trend lines are good.”
“Overall,” as he told Tom Friedman in August 2014—shortly after ISIS had seized control of Mosul and as Vladimir Putin was muscling his way into eastern Ukraine—“I think there’s still cause for optimism.”

It’s a remarkable record of prediction. One hundred percent wrong. The professor president who loves to talk about teachable moments is himself unteachable.

Add to the above, the rejection the King of Jordan and the Egyptian government in their request for a partnership that would aggressively join together to defeat ISIS.

He has allowed China to expand its military influence in Asia and we can underline our conclusion: He is unteachable and a threat to this country.

(Much of the above text belongs to an article in the WSJ, here.)

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Who said anything about spending billions more on foreign wars? Who disagreed with Obama and Biden in their claim for a strong, stable, and sovereign Iraq following Bushes 5 year war? Few Americans believe Obama has fixed anything. Most think he lies and is not trustworthy. Most do not believe he is an effective world leader. Virtually all of his policies score more opposition than approval. And his Middle East "policy" is an embarrassing joke. Absolutely no one knows what this mental case is going to do next outside of those "policies" he has already set in motion. And your only claim to fiscal success is the Stock Market. LOL.
