"“I want to reach out and save those kids,” says Obama About the Nigerian Captive Girls
"And yet every day when I wake up, and I think about young girls in Nigeria or children caught up in the conflict in Syria . . . there are times in which I want to reach out and save those kids," said the Lightworker himself, Barack Hussein Obama, at Steven Spielberg's house earlier this month. How forutnate we are to have elected such a pretty pretty pair of pants to the Presidency, so that we can have someone say things like that!
First of all, this is weasel-worded even as a direct quote. Note the apposition of a fairly recent atrocity, whose victims would actually be fairly easy to rescue, with the whole civil war in Syria? The point of it is for Obama to emphasize to Muslim Fundamentalists that he's not criticizing them, because in his fantasy-land Assad is the only one responsible for the deaths in Syria and Muslim Fundamentalists there are but innocent victims of them. (The joke is on him, of course, as both sides are slaughtering innocents in droves in that particular conflict).
But, most importantly, there is a deep moral cowardice in that statement, one which Obama has applied again and again and again to problems that have arisen during his Administration. And I feel that someone should point this out.
Obama is pretending that he is helpless in this affair, that all he can do is watch and make sympathetic noises.
Gee, it makes you wish that someone more powerful would care about this plan on the part of Boko Haram to take over 100 interned civilians and turn them over to those who will unlawfully detain, repeatedly rape and coerce labor from them. Someone, for instance, who commanded the most powerful military in the world, a force not only so quantatively but qualitatively superior to the joke-army that constitutes Boko Haram that it could cut right through them like a hot knife through butter, leaving dead, dying, maimed and sanity-shattered wrecks who used to be bold enough thugs when it came to beating up schoolchildren.
Someone like -- I don't know -- the President of the United States of America?
Oh, but wait. We haven't really had a President since January 2009. Right now what we have is a pretty pretty man-child who whines about how he is utterly helpless and things just sort of happen around him while he watches, feeling everyone's pain but unable to act to alter any of it.
Except when he is asking for or claiming unprecedented executive powers, that is. While refusing to exercise the ones he actually has and has always had.
Idiot.
