If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people - not even Jimmy Carter.
Obama's problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution. Obama is not at war with terrorists, but with his Republican fellow citizens. He has never abandoned the campaign trail.
That is why he opened Pandora's Box by publishing the Justice Department's legal opinions on waterboarding and other hardline interrogation techniques. He cynically subordinated the national interest to his partisan desire to embarrass the Republicans. Then he had to rush to Langley, Virginia to try to reassure a demoralised CIA that had just discovered the President of the United States was an even more formidable foe than al-Qaeda.
"Don't be discouraged by what's happened the last few weeks," he told intelligence officers. Is he kidding? Thanks to him, al-Qaeda knows the private interrogation techniques available to the US intelligence agencies and can train its operatives to withstand them - or would do so, if they had not already been outlawed.
So, next time a senior al-Qaeda hood is captured, all the CIA can do is ask him nicely if he would care to reveal when a major population centre is due to be hit by a terror spectacular, or which American city is about to be irradiated by a dirty bomb. Your view of this situation will be dictated by one simple criterion: whether or not you watched the people jumping from the twin towers.
Obama promised his CIA audience that nobody would be prosecuted for past actions. That has already been contradicted by leftist groups with a revanchist ambition to put Republicans, headed if possible by Condoleezza Rice, in the dock. Talk about playing party politics with national security. Martin Scheinin, the United Nations special investigator for human rights, claims that senior figures, including former vice president Dick Cheney, could face prosecution overseas. Ponder that - once you have got over the difficulty of locating the United Nations and human rights within the same dimension.
President Pantywaist Obama should have thought twice before sitting down to play poker with Dick Cheney. The former vice president believes documents have been selectively published and that releasing more will prove how effective the interrogation techniques were. Under Dubya's administration, there was no further atrocity on American soil after 9/11.
President Pantywaist's recent world tour, cosying up to all the bad guys, excited the ambitions of America's enemies. Here, they realised, is a sucker they can really take to the cleaners. His only enemies are fellow Americans. Which prompts the question: why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly?

Can you believe that President Barack Hussein Obama said, on a French television station, that the United States could be considered, "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world"? What has he been drinking or is it just wishful thinking on his part? (according to the Pew Research Center we have approx.2.3 million Muslims in the U.S., Pakistan has 150 million).
Do you think we are becoming the laughing stock of the world with such an inexperienced commander-in-chief aimlessly leading us? It seems all the two-bit, tin-horn dictators of the world are thumbing their noses at us because they know we have a patsy sitting in the White House. This English newspaper has Obama figured out all right, much to our disadvantage and peril. How blind have we become?
This President is spitting in the face of every Jewish Supporter he had. He is disgracing every Christian Supporter he had. My Dad is one of those old Democrats who thinks Obama deserves a fair shake. I showed him countless facts of how this President has gone against the Jewish people. I think my Dad is wrong for not acknowledging his mistake in supporting Reverend Wrights Friend.
I feel sorry for the people in Israel now that President Bush is out of office.

I bet if Obama could dig up Hitler, he would so he could apologize.
America is being dismantled before our very eyes.
