Stuff

I labeled this "Stuff" for want of anything else to call it.

First, I recind my attempts to not discuss politics because, I said so!

Now, that I have freed myself from that prohibition, Let me start.

I do not understand the present Administration and our President. He shows little regard for big issues facing the US and seems to be content picking (betting?) on basketball games. His priorities make very little sense, to me, at least.

He allowed a veteran supporter in Egypt to be swept away from power, and now Egypt is in the hands of some "unknown" quantities.

He projected an image of wanting to see regime change in Libya, then stated that he did not have the power to assist the rebels.

He is seemingly ignoring events in Iraq at, what I believe, is a very critical phase in that Country's transition.

He seems to be ignoring events in Afghanistan and the US casualties.

He is ignoring Pakistan.

He has steadfastly ignored traditional and emergent allies of the US ; and even seems to be trying to alienate them (Israel, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, and Japan).

He has a long list of obviously incompetent officials who he does not seem to communicate with and allows them a great deal of latitude in where they go and what they do (Clinton, Holder, Napolitano).

And, for this episode of this blog, finally; He either is reluctant to take a stand, or meet a commitment on just about everything or anything.

Somebody needs to talk with him and engage in correcting his ways.
