Obamanation of Desolation? Bye, Bye, Separation of Powers &Miss American Hegemony, both Home & Abroad.

Alito Speaks Truth to Demagoguery, Via Lip Synch

Obama is a Foreign Policy Disaster and the UK
Daily Telegraph goes through the SOTU speech last night to see how the artful dodger avoided substance and exuded silly shallow rhetoric, an area where Obama excels, and demagogued issues he evidently hardly understands. The Telegraph notes that he gets an "F" for Foreign Policy, as he skated far away from real issues like Afghanistan, counterterrorism, Iranian nukes, and a myriad other areas where he & his feckless SecState are underperforming on the world state. His two Copenhagen visits, one for the City of Chicago to host the Olympics and one for a Busted Global Warming Hoax Masquerade symbolize this tyro's record of failure in foreign affairs---his record on substantive issues and symbolic ones is completely smudged by amateurish reaching out to our traditional adversaries, who thus far have taken our hostess gifts and then stuck a thumb in our collective eye. Not one foreign policy success after one year, though he did agree to two-thirds of a surge in Afghanistan. Urkel is simply not ready for prime time diplomacy.

The speech makes it very evident that the reckless and underinformed POTUS remains in his Oval Office Cocoon and it is clear that he has put on a game-face mask while flailing and looking for scapegoats---banks, GWB [again & again] and now the SCOTUS as the First-Clown-In-Chief had the witless effrontery to attack the Supreme Court's decision while the Nine sat in front of him. Here's G-Town U. Law Prof Randy Barnett:

To call upon the Congress to countermand (somehow) by statute a constitutional decision, indeed a decision applying the First Amendment? What can this possibly accomplish besides alienating Justice Kennedy who wrote the opinion being attacked. Contrary to what we heard during the last administration, the Court may certainly be the object of presidential criticism without posing any threat to its independence. But this was a truly shocking lack of decorum and disrespect towards the Supreme Court for which an apology is in order. A new tone indeed.

And the lying fool of an Obamanation of Desolation is either ignorant or demagogue or both when he said "foreign" interests could now contribute as a result of the SCOTUS ruling.

The Court held that 2 U.S.C. Section 441a, which prohibits all corporate political spending, is unconstitutional. Foreign nationals, specifically defined to include foreign corporations, are prohibiting from making "a contribution or donation of money or ather thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State or local election" under 2 U.S.C. Section 441e, which was not at issue in the case.

It gets sillier and even the socialism-inclined state-controlled NPR had to demur on Obama's slipshod notion that the SCOTUS ruled on direct contributions by corporations, rather than McCain/Feingold's over-the-top ban on ALL FORMS of contributions. And finally, the infamousLinda Greenhouse who has scribbled on the SCOTUS for thirty years wrote in the NYT opinionator calls Obama "imprecise:"

Indeed, Mr. Obama's description of the holding of the case was imprecise. He said the court had "reversed a century of law." The law that Congress enacted in the populist days of the early 20th century prohibited direct corporate contributions to political campaigns. That law was not at issue in the Citizens United case, and is still on the books. Rather, the court struck down a more complicated statute that barred corporations and unions from spending money directly from their treasuries -- as opposed to their political action committees -- on television advertising to urge a vote for or against a federal candidate in the period immediately before the election.

:
We are now experiencing the consequences of electing an inexperienced rookie on both foreign and domestic policy, and one with a stubborn arrogant conviction that he is some sort of the Child of Destiny the febrile psychos on the Far Left believe he is---the true empty vessel which they can fill with their Marxist class warfare fantasies.

My guess is that this arrogant half-wit of a POTUS can talk a talk, but is a veritable cripple in actually walking anything except a moonwalk double-clutch shuffle on real policy.
