A real leader?

Posted

To the Editor:

One of our greatest presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt, once said, “What was going on in Europe before World War II was a ‘world dynamite,’” which required his constant watch.

One of our weakest presidents, Barack H. Obama, once said, “ISIS in the Middle East is a J.V. team, and not an immediate threat to the world and U.S.”

It doesn’t require his constant watch, but does require his constant golf!

What a leader.

    Blame all of you who voted for someone who has never led so much as a field trip to the presidency of the United States. Emotional voting will kill us.

    As a registered Democrat, I wish President Obama were more like FDR in one important way: his eloquent defense of the working class of America during the Great Depression. His voice gave hope to the hopeless. And his government offered the destitute a Helping Hand. Was it not preferable to violent revolution ? And yet, the OLD MONEY never stopped loathing THAT MAN long after prosperity returned and CAPITALISM was saved ! Clearly Obama is a neo-Democrat with no real quarrel with the ONE PERCENT. For that reason in 2008 I supported Ralph Nader.

    On the war against terrorism I can only commend President Obama's caution. It was Wilsonian blather that got us involved in the war in Iraq- the greatest foreign policy blunder in American history. We will definitely not make ourselves safer in America by some jackass air war over Syria and Iraq.You can kill terrorists by the thousands but can you kill a deranged theology ? Tens of thousands of American troops in the Middle East will surely bring back some horrific plague to the United States - a real weapon of mass destruction. PEACE !
