What not?
Think of the sheer genius with which Obama has handled the Libyan kerfuffel: Without engaging in hostilities and while leading from behind, our Commander-in-Chief managed to accomplish in five months what should have taken no more than five days!
To be sure, there were setbacks, albeit minor ones.
To begin with, 165 Tomahawk Missiles were wasted in pursuit of Gaddafi. However that may be spun into a positive “peace gesture,” given the fact that there are now 165 fewer weapons available to the next trigger-happy Republican from Texas who somehow manages to steal the presidency!
Does the name Rick Perry ring a bell?
In addition, some would argue that Obama emasculated the War Powers Act (WPA), thereby establishing precedent for some future Republican war monger to completely bypass Congress in order to unilaterally make war somewhere.
In truth, however, the WPA has always been a foolish bit of legislative vengeance created by Democrats to harass and taunt Richard M. Nixon. In fairness, WPA deserved to die, ‘tis just a damn pity that the death came at the hands of an out-of-touch Marxist who hates America and the U.S. military!
Finally, by leading from behind and without an appropriate level of male aggressiveness, Obama allowed the image of the Commander-in-Chief to be downgraded from macho he-man to “girly man,” or worse.
Those who support revocation of DADT will no doubt find comfort in that change.
All things considered, Barack has pretty much kowtowed to orders issued by the UN and taken the notion of American Exceptionalism down a notch or two.
For that alone, Barack deserves another meaningless emblem of weakness and manly impotence from that gaggle of eunuchs in Oslo who waste time attending to such trite every year!
