Midknight Review -- new and revised: Brief comment on Obama's morning "news" conference, in which questions were asked and self-serving answer were given.

Of course, everyone is talking about Obama’s “red line” and his implied promise of action should that line be crossed. The first question of the morning’s presser was about this red line. In answer to that question, he made it clear that the ensuing consequences and his promise to change his “calculus” as to Syria was about the world’s reaction to the crisis, not his or the United States acting in some sort of unilateral way.

We all knew that on the day he made his statement, he was playing the role of tough international leader. We also knew that he was just kidding.

How much international leadership has been surrendered under this president is not yet known, but it is substantial to the point that there is no more inconsequential leader in this world than B. Obama. His statement to “lead from behind” is evidence of his nonsensical approach to leadership and has proven to be the path to sheer and laughable irrelevancy. In short our country is a joke and that is all on Obama.

He has lost the war in Afghanistan even before he cuts and runs from the region. He has, in effect, returned Iraq to the hands of its radicalized neighbors and internal forces within that nation, making a mockery of the Bush victory and the lives lost in winning that war. His Mid East policies have added to the destabilization of that region in ways not seen in American politics.

He shows no concern for the Innocents in Africa as they continue to be butchered by Muslim killers. He has deserted informants who gave us Ben Laden and left the principles of freedom behind in his lust to partner with a Muslim world that denies women their civil rights and liberties, as well as freedom of speech and the [free] expression of religious faith. His Cairo speech in 2009 remains a complete mystery as to why he ever took the time to give that speech -- a magnificent opportunity squandered in a sea of misguided academia and self-serving headlines, and nothing more.

In short and following this morning’s press conference, we now know that Obama has no intentions of getting involved in Syria beyond his ability to talk. Sadly, so does the rest of the murderous hordes in the Middle East.

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."
