George W. Obama

Throughout the presidency of George W. Bush, the Left savaged him as a big dummy. They mercilessly attacked and mocked him as an incompetent boob, a stupid idiot, an inept, unread, uncurious doofus.

All of those smears were grossly unfair to President Bush, of course, who had more natural leadership skills, better instincts, and a more fundamental understanding of America's power and place in the world and how to advance them in his big toe than President Obama will ever have. Ever.

But Obama's big selling point in 2008, apart from that flimsy notion of "change," was that he would be the anti-Bush. He would do the exact opposite of everything Bush did, because everthing Bush did was oh-so-wrong. Obama suggested two things: 1. He was so much smarter than Bush that he'd NEVER make the same mistakes, and 2. He'd watched Bush's presidency and actually LEARNED from those mistakes. Enough people bought that particular line of BS that Obama won and the rest is, shall we say, bad history.

With regard to Obama's order for US military intervention in the Libyan "kinetic military action," let's see how much he has learned from Bush's so-called "mistakes" in Iraq:

Bush was attacked for the following:

1. Invoking the doctrine of pre-emptive war, when Saddam Hussein had not directly attacked us.

Obama and Libya: Obama claims we are intervening to prevent a major slaughter...BEFORE it actually happened and while Muammar Qaddafi had not attacked us.

2. That Bush "rushed to war," despite the fact that he had spent months engaged in diplomatic negotiation.

Obama and Libya: Three weeks of hemming and hawing, then wham, bam, thank you, ma'am, we're engaged in a shooting war in Libya.

3. That Bush went ahead in Iraq despite Colin Powell's warning: "you break it, you own it."

Obama and Libya: He broke it, he owns it.

4. That Bush didn't consult enough with Congress, despite months of endless consultations and debates there.

Obama and Libya: Obama not only didn't consult with Congress, he sprung his decision on Congressional leaders before the first military action began. There was no invitation to discussion. Obama told them of his decision, and then invited them to leave. He continues to blow off Congress.

5. That Bush was led around by Dick Cheney.

Obama and Libya: He's being led around by Hillary Clinton.

6. That Bush's military action in Iraq unleashed unforeseen and uncontrollable terrorist forces.

Obama and Libya: Obama's military action has unleashed unforeseen and uncontrollable terrorist forces.

7. That Bush went to war in the wrong place. He should have gone after the big enemy, Iran, instead of Iraq.

Obama and Libya: He went to war in the wrong place. He should be focused on the need for possible intervention in places far more strategically important: Iran, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Jordan.

8. That Bush had no exit strategy, despite the fact that announcing one tips the advantage to the enemy.

Obama and Libya: He announced multiple and contradictory exit strategies, including turning the mission over to NATO, no use of ground troops, and being for Qaddafi's exit before he was against it.

9. That Bush opened a big can of worms by cracking open Iraq.

Obama and Libya: Obama's actions have opened an even bigger can of worms across the Middle East: the Muslim Brotherhood is running the show in Egypt and elsewhere, and al Qaeda is poised to gain a new base of operations in Libya.

10. That Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" prematurely.

Obama and Libya: Last night, he declared that the mission was being turned over to NATO forthwith, and the US's main work here is done. Oh, really?

The comparisons are almost....eerie. Especially for a president who is so obsessed with being the anti-Bush that he contorts himself into policy pretzels, has marginalized himself and his presidency, and has severely damaged American power and credibility.

I thought Obama was supposed to be so smart. I thought he was supposed to be so much smarter than Bush. I thought Obama was supposed to have learned from Bush's so-called "mistakes"....the same "mistakes" that he pounded Bush for for nearly eight years.

And yet....Obama seems to be repeating them. That must mean that Bush was right. Or that Obama is the big dummy.

What kind of logic is that? I say they are both big fat idiots. Where Bush treated us with patrician contempt [open borders, SOWdi deal-making and hand-holding, military ROE and border agents on show trials], the Bama treats us with barely concealed hatred.

The results are pretty much the same.

We need someone who truly loves America and understands her people. Palin, Trump, Bachmann, Bolton.. we have a great field of people who are willing to take it on their shoulders if the RINOS will finally GET OUT OF THE WAY and let a PATRIOT be in charge.

RINOS ---> TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!

u r oh so right Monica. why no one else can see this is so hard to understand. thanks to you a factual and intelligent explanation is posted. i hope people read your post and learn. thanks for the great work u do.

-----------------------
Do I need to answer that question. Obama has no leadership ability whatsoever. He is street community organizer form Chicago. He never led anything except ACORN type activity. He doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't understand America's history or position of leadership in the world. He doesn't understand representative democracy and captialism. He doesn't understand economics. He doesn't understand Christianity. He set in a church for 20 years run by an individual who makes a mockery of Christianity. He doesn't understand our military and what it means to be a superpower. He doesn't understand the nature of the terrorist threat against the West and America.

It's scary that we have a President who is so incompetent and inexperienced. He is clueless. His biggest achievement in his first term is his "Affordable Health Care" Act, also known as Obamacare. Even his DEM Party, who he bribed to vote for are now turning their back on this mess. I never thought anyone could compare to the incompetence of Jimmy Carter, but this guy is giving him a run for the money.

[Ummahgummah]

Spaeking of Dhimmi Carter, Steve.. he has got to be excited just to live to see the day that he is no longer officially THE WORST EVER president.

It's amazing how condescending people on the left are towards Dr. Crowley. It blows my mind how sexist the so-called open minded Liberals are. Unless you discount the names Meg Witman and Sarah Palin were called by their opponents. Or the media's coverage of Hillary Clinton compared to that of Obama. Or NOW's weak comments on how the progressives need to lay off Palin, so they don't have to waste time defending her.

[Ummahgummah]

.

Michael, what about all this is amazing to you?

Liberalism = HYPOCRISY.

I wouldn't expect anything else.

First off: Obama is picking up and advancing the neoconservative foreign policy agenda where Dubyah left off. That's obvious.

Secondly General Rectum Powell's warning: "you break it, you own it" is asinine. It's only observed and obeyed by fools...which American politicians certainly are. Moreover, when Dubyah broke Iraq, Bush didn't own it! He, personally, didn't pay the bill, did he?!? NO! The American people are; it's the American soldiers and taxpayers that are paying the price.

Same goes for Libya. Obama broke it, but he certainly doesn't own it. However, again, as with Iraq, the American soldiers and taxpayers will pay the price in all the known, and yet to be known ways.

This all leads to the larger question: Are our leaders simply inept, or is something much more calculated and ominous taking place?

[Ummahgummah]

DJ, the price we all pay is MORE MOSLEM "immigration".

[Dgscol]

Monica has successfully dragged Obama down into the mud.

[Ummahgummah]

I don't think he needs Monica's help for that.

Ummah et al,

Did y'all know today is the THIRD annual Florida "Muslim Day" in Tallahassee? It's true! It's even being reported by reputable sources that Govenor Rick Scott (he's a Republican you know) will attend the event and officially endorse "Muslim Day".

This s-hit is getting more surreal by the minute!

[Dgscol]

Thy will attempt to trap Obama in Libya, by claiming civilians are being murdered, each side blaming the other, until we have troops on the ground, and are supporting the "government" with our money.

WTF. Moonbats everywhere!!!! How do all the good ol' boys put up with so much nonsense?

It's not just in NY and CA anymore. Well, we knew it was in Chicago, but the cancer is taking over the body now.

"Thy will attempt to trap Obama in Libya, by claiming civilians are being murdered, each side blaming the other, until we have troops on the ground, and are supporting the "government" with our money."

----------------------------

Unfortunately that may be one of the better outcomes we can hope for. Most intelligence reports verify that the "rebels" we are supporting is teeming with Al Qaeda and other various jihadist swine.

Gaddafi's son, Seif, warned that if his father's regime was overthrown, Libya would descend into a chaotic Somali-like failed state. Of course he has a biased opinion to say the least, but that doesn't mean he's wrong either. I, personally, think his prediction is more likely to be correct than not.

[Frau Farbissina]

Oh Frau Crowley, you really stepped up to your neck in it now.

GET THE HOSES!!!

[LongRifle]

The difference between Bush and Obama is in their view of Israel. The question becomes: Where does Obama fit in the Caliphate being established right now? If elected to a Second term, will he suddenly "convert" to Islam?
Obama is dangerous. He IS a leader; but only for the mindless liberal lemmings who pick the peanuts out of his crap. Unfortunately, there are lots of them.

[Randy]

Monica,
You are right and always are when it comes to the "Bama."

Do me a favor, because no one out there will, tell me that we won't have another 4 years to suffer through come 2012.

Anyone, someone out there, say it!!

Judging from the current headcount on the Republican side of things, I'm not so sure.

Good point. Monica, as a maid for the House of Bush, makes clear her attitude re the conservatives at Monicamemo and how she dumps trolls on them, like the very scummy spambots, especially Scumella who talks to itself, amuses itself, and spreads its stink.

Maid Monica's pro-Bush barfing shows what she's learned from her House of Bush chores. As a talent from the middle class, she's learned "patrician contempt." She obviously likes it. She's learned even not to care what it says about her character.

Some learning.

[TexasPride]

Once again we expend American treasure in a foreign country we don't belong in, risking our best and brightest, without a clear exit strategy.

I guess they are sorta alike. Just waiting for Barack W. to say something like, ".....there's an old saying in Tennessee.....I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee ....that says, fool me once, shame on.....shame on you........ Fool me.....uh.......you can't get fooled again......"

[M/M]

The big loser in this whole deal is the LIEberals because now everyone knows how they earned their names. Posted this video on the wall of my Facebook buddy's and told him how I LAUGH at them now:

Obama's stimulus and job growth plan: No dictator left behind:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQiP5iCfQt0

I LMAO watching these LIEberals because THEY voted for the Current Occupant. Everything they said about Bush applies to their guy:

Code Pink videos are the best comedy show around. Don't get angry, pull up a Code Pink video and LAUGH at a LIEberal today.

"7. That Bush went to war in the wrong place. He should have gone after the big enemy, Iran, instead of Iraq."
Thought Bush's reason for going to war was to attack Al Queda in Afghanistan for 9/11?

[jay]

"So tonight we'll sit in Orwellian awe as we get treated to another shimmering Obama speech. I hope he answers the questions about Libya we've all been asking for a week now. Including why his administration told us this "kinetic military action" would last a "matter of days" and we're already going on a matter of weeks"
Thought it was a little over 1 week?

It was at first; then it grew to Iraq and get the WMD; then it was Sadam had to go. Then Obama Bush went back to Afghanistan to "Finish the Job". Why are we still there? Makes you wonder...

[LongRifle]

Just so the DUMMKOPFS and other Soros shills can catch up: NAZI is an acronym for National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party. Hitler's words; not mine. Go argue with him...

[Frau Farbissina]

And go argue with Kim Jong Il over the Peoples' DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of North Korea.

Or Mao over the People's REPUBLIC of China!!

DIPSH-IT!! Just because someone calls his party or country the EXACT opposite DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!

News flash: MEIN HITLER VAS A LIAR!! AND YOU ARE A MORON!

Hey Longrifle... I just went to the toilet, dropped a big one.

And really, incredibly, in a small voice, I heard it say, barely audibly: "Hi! My name is 'The Tea Party.'"

You go argue with IT!!!

Or rather, go argue with SH-IT!!

[Frau Farbissina]

Oh, too late. I just flushed The Tea Party.
