In his final days in office, Barack Hussein Obama is redefining the term "lame duck" with the emphasis on LAME.
For years, Obama ignored continued hacking of various U.S. government, White House and private computer systems by Russia, North Korea and China. Now, after months of doing NOTHING with regard to alleged Russian "intrusion" into the 2016 election, and after eight years of serving as Vladimir Putin’s personal doormat throughout the world, Obama has decided to embark on "tough-guy" action. And does anyone believe that he'd have done so if Hillary Rodham Clinton had become president-elect?
Then, there was the administration’s involvement in the United States' abstention on a U.N. resolution condemning Israeli settlements -- an action that was as inexplicable as it was inexcusable. Failure to recognize the key differences between settlements in East Jerusalem (the Jewish Quarter, those close to Israel’s border) and those in more-outlying areas betrays ignorance of the long history of the Jewish people in the Mideast. East Jerusalem has been Jewish for thousands of years, and any policy suggesting that this area should be ceded to the Palestinians is absurd.
In both of the above cases, Obama dilly-dallied long enough to ensure that his actions would in no way be harmful to Hillary’s campaign, and likewise, long enough so that any blowback will be Donald John Trump’s problem. Those were nothing but blatant political moves, and in making them, Obama continued to prove what should already be obvious: OBAMA IS A MASTER POLITICIAN, BUT A LOUSY PRESIDENT.
