[h=1]A slapdash Secret Service detail isn't what's wrong with the White House - the real scandal is a President who is so complacent about protecting Americans[/h]By PIERS MORGAN


President Obama this week committed professional suicide.
Let me explain.
There is a theory in politics that once a leader has fired 50 or more people from his or her administration, he or she is finished.
The reason being that by creating so many enemies ‘outside the tent’, the tent itself becomes too deluged with poisonous bile to avoid sinking into a quagmire of back-stabbing ignominy.

Obama went a lot further than firing 50 people.
He managed to single-handedly alienate 200,000 employees in the American intelligence agencies by going on 60 Minutes and ruthlessly chucking them all under a bus over the rise of terror group ISIS.



‘James Clapper (Director of National Intelligence) has acknowledged that they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,’ he said, when asked how ISIS’ influence could have spread so fast.
As Governor Chris Christie pointed out, by saying ‘they’ rather than ‘we’, Obama tried to distance himself from any personal responsibility or accountability for what has been a catastrophic failure to act over the greatest terror threat facing the world since Osama Bin Laden.
A more shameless, reprehensible display of buck-passing it would be hard to find from a sitting President.

And for what purpose?
All that will happen now is that those maligned intelligence agencies will exact cold-blooded revenge on Obama by drip-feeding negative stories about him until he’s gone.
It’s what they do.
The truth is that Obama is the one who underestimated ISIS, plunging his head ostrich-like into the sand and hoping they would go away without having to do anything to actually make them go away.
There were clear, unambiguous public warnings made nearly a year ago in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee that ISIS was on the march in Syria and Iraq.
But perhaps Obama missed them.
Hardly surprising when we discover yesterday that he has only attended 42.1 percent of his Presidential Daily intelligence briefings.
No wonder the Secret Service gets complacent when The Boss exudes complacency from every pore.

Obama prides himself on a ‘leading from behind’ American strategy to confronting global terrorism and the current chaos raging throughout the Middle East.
But refusing to intervene in conflicts like Syria has so far proved to be spectacularly self-defeating.
Far from making America stronger, Obama has made the world’s greatest military power look weak.
So weak that these Jihadist thugs think they can behead American citizens with impunity in glossy snuff movies.
Imagine how emboldened they must have felt when Obama made his ‘heartfelt’ speech about journalist James Foley’s execution, and was then seen laughing and joking on the golf course SEVEN MINUTES later.
Obama has so far played golf 192 times since becoming President.
Even Rory McIlroy would struggle to match such enthusiasm for the game.
But Rory isn’t the Leader of the Free World, and with such a title comes huge responsibility.
The kind of responsibility that Obama seems so keen to shirk.
It’s time he got off the damn golf course, got up to speed with his intelligence briefings and focused on wiping out ISIS.
Before they wipe out more of the people he serves.

He cannot quit professional suicide. He's a second term president. What is he going to do professionally afterwards? Write his memoirs? He has no professional career left. He has maxed out.

It would be a shame to let that hard earned Harvard law degree to go to waste. Maybe he can get a job in Chicago as a community organizer or possibly a golf instructor. Or he could always team up with Michelle and write a diet book for kids.

The possibilities seem endless. :homer:

 

[Willie99]

who the least prepared man in the room has thrown under the bus

US Intelligence Agencies (did you see W do this? did Obama suggest such with respect to the Iraq war?) When they found UBL, he actually took credit
Law Enforcement Officers across the country (they mistreat African Americans all the time, every African American knows this)
The US Supreme Court (the vile POS even did so in a state of the union address)
George W Bush (something no president did before Clinton, W didn't, and Obama has taken it to all new heights)
His staff
the Republican Congress
the media, even those who adore him
Fox News, because the lap dogs can't get enough
Rush Limbaugh, a man with dignity doesn't address talk show hosts, he stays out of the gutter. This president lives in the gutter, it's his comfort zone

this man does not have the dignity to be POTUS, he has diminished the integrity of the White House

quite honestly, that's as bad as it gets
