Obama’s foreign policy is loosely based on an analogue to what in theological circles is known as “laying on the hands” — both are “fantastical thinking” approaches which have no basis in reality. The religious practitioners “touch” people and think it will cure illnesses, while the Obama administration pressed a magic reset button (literally, as wielded by the High Priestess of Obamic Foreign Policy, SecState Hillary!,) thinking with would transform, or more aptly, transmute Putin — a KGB thug — into Mr. Nice Guy, as if water were being turned into wine. It is foreign policy based on faith trumping reality, and we are now reaping the frightful harvest sown by it.
It’s times like this that we can all be thankful for an administration that has its priorities set, focused like a laser on hobbling our own economy in a futile gesture towards reining in Global Climate Conflagration, on protecting Wymyn from rampaging GOP members of congress intent on stealing their uterii, and, oh, yes, trampling the 2nd Amendment in its zeal to disarm law abiding citizens, while legislating from the Oval Office as it jams its profoundly flawed take over of the Health Insurance system down our throats. And in the meanwhile, the Ukraine strangles as Putin’s noose tightens, Libya is a mess, being taken over by Jihadists, and Syria is in the process of being taken over by the same. One must admit, this is, both domestically and abroad, an administration of extraordinary multidisciplinary incompetence and malfeasance.
