The Ulsterman Report: President Obama – What The Hell Is Going On?

To those who remain supportive of Barack Obama out of some semblance of political loyalty, white guilt, or stubborn refusal to acknowledge reality – it is time you come to your senses, and right quick.  This man has been, and continues to be, an absolute failure on every conceivable level of leadership.  His once soaring speeches now sound increasingly canned and stale.  His disinterest in the job of being president ever more apparent.  His shocking combination of arrogance and ignorance well known to those who have witnessed it in person – including a growing number of world leaders who leave an Obama sit down wondering to themselves (and soon after leaving clues to the media)  how America could have been so foolish to have elected someone so clearly out of their depth.

Conflicting reports regarding the tragic death of several SEAL Team Six members are now circulating, with some indicating those killed were directly involved in the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound and others indicating those SEALS killed were not part of the Bin Laden raid.  Further details will likely unfold over the next 48 hours, but the story nevertheless is a reminder to all of just how odd the Osama Bin Laden killing itself was.  No photos of Bin Laden’s body were released, despite both then-CIA Director Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton telling the media those photos would be forthcoming.  Reports of a detached and uninvolved Barack Obama being pulled off the golf course as the raid was already underway were soon after seemingly supported by the now infamous photo of the president sitting to the side against the wall of the situation room dressed in his golf attire, looking confused, uncertain, and most certainly, out of his element.

This detached behavior was recently seen again during the debt ceiling negotiations and even more recently during the aftermath of the historic downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, an event that will have far-reaching and negative implications for an already struggling American economy.  Barack Obama said nothing regarding the downgrade, instead focusing on his own birthday party and fundraising for his upcoming 2012 re-election campaign.  Reports have come forth detailing the First Couple dancing barefoot on the White House lawn during the birthday celebration (media were banned from the event) as Hip-Hop music blared from inside the White House.  Has any American president so mirrored the tale of Emperor Nero fiddling away as Rome burned as has Barack Hussein Obama?

For those who know their American history, you cannot help but recall the then-shocking event of a sitting U.S. President declaring in the spring of 1968 that he would not seek nor would he accept, the nomination of his party to continue another term as president.  Johnson acknowledged he had lost the support of the American people, and that his administration was no longer able to meet the considerable challenges facing the nation.  So he stepped aside.
