Award-winning conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer ripped “child-like” president Obama for his continued, unseemly and disingenuous attacks on his predecessor.
This week Obama again attacked President Bush on Afghanistan. This is after the previous administration graciously offered him classified advice that Obama used to form his own Afghan strategy.
Krauthammer said it’s beyond disgraceful:
Via Conservative New Media
Krauthammer on Obama:
“There is something truly disgusting about the way he cannot refrain from attacking Bush when he’s being defensive about himself. It’s beyond disgraceful. Here he won an election a year ago. He became the Commander in Chief a few months later. He announced his own strategy, not the Bush strategy, six months ago and it wasn’t off-handed. It was a major address with the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State standing with him… What’s happening today is not because of the so-called drift in the Bush years, it’s because of the drift in his year.”
As President Obama dithers and waffles October became the deadliest month for the US in the Afghan War.

I saw that. Krauthammer is right. It is disgraceful and it also shows a lack of responsibility. Obama’s whole political career up to now has been him always part of a group where he can talk he like is the smartest one of the bunch but then lay the blame of failure on others.
Old habits are hard to break.
This is the first time in his career where he has to be the one to take the blame and he can’t handle it.
Everything that goes wrong is always someone else fault.
His behavior of constantly taking shots at Bush and Cheney is unprecedented. A President who blames the former administration again and again is unheard of.

obama signed off on the remainder of the budget bill that Bush sent back because it was loaded with pork. obama referred to it as Bush’s bill as he approved it. it would seem he
could reject his friends bill as did Bush, but
decided to hide behind Bush instead. same with tarp – he could have voted “NO”.

I wouldn’t say beyond disgraceful.
I would rather say: pitiful. Childish.
How old is Obama? 10?

Ulike Obama, Charles K is just about the smartest guy in the room.
Obama is shooting hoops and playing golf while the country is being destroyed and then cries like a baby and blames others.
He can’t take it, he can’t even begin to manage this job. I still say that there is no way he makes it to the end of his term.

The great majority of Americans other than racist white males love and support President Obama. He rules this country now in the name of all oppressed people and will lead us all into a new world of peace and justice.

There was once a famous commander in the Army who gave his successor this advice: I have written three letters for you and put them in the top drawer of your desk. As you run into problems, open the letters.
The first time the new commander ran into a problem, he remember the letters and opened #1. It read, “Blame the fact that you are new to the job.”
The next time the commander ran into a problem, he opened letter #2. It read, “Blame the previous commander.”
On the occasion of the third problem he opened #3. It read, “Write three letters.”
It is time for Obama to “Write three letters” and move on.

Jim, would you please just start deleting YWD’s garbage comments. It’s just here to stir up crap…again! It adds nothing to the post, and always attempt to derail the thread.

Isn’t it time for your guy to “grow a pair”, put on his “big boy pants” and stop sniveling like
a girl? By the way, he doesn’t “rule” the USA
either……

I’m honestly not sure I know any one right now who loves and adores Obama.
Oh, actually, I know 3. 2 are gay black men and one is an old older white male in incredibly poor health.
Seriously, how sad is that?

According to my active duty naval officer son (recently home from the Persian Gulf), Obama is viewed by most of his military colleagues as weak, shiftless, and disinterested in protecting and defending the Constitution. Many of my son’s warrior buddies are demoralized.

In reply to #7:
Let YWD have their say. It is interesting that YWD chose words such as “he rules this country now”. FYI to YWD: United States Presidents don’t “rule” they “govern”. Also it appears that the Democrat party uses the oppressed to gain power whether it’s through the race industry, victim industry, povery industry, or any other grievance group they can conjure up.

I’m so sorry for your son and his colleagues. I, personally, honor them. Our Sniveler in Chief does not deserve to lead this great nation (and I am not one overly prone to beating the patriotism drum). Are we missing GWB yet? Is it 2012 yet? I’d like to wake up from this nightmare.

It is a shame that the US got an ego-maniac, vain and idiot for president. How many more soldiers and innocent people need to die until this president make a decision?

Look who else the left continues to attack. This illustrates who they are really afraid of in 2012.

Disgusting, to be sure. But calling him childish is unfair to children. This is the behavior of a narcissist. A narcissist needs foes and Bush seems to be Obama’s favorite, even more so than the terrorists.

Obama and the Dems can invoke Bush all they want but as each month passes they own this sorry mess of their own making.

Thoughtful =dragging his feet on Afghanistan. (what, me worry?) The Left hate Real Men. They prefer them dead.
Thoughtful = ramming healthcare through to bankrupt Amerikka and bring on the crisis that will have Amerikka on its knees and begging the kenyan to SAVE US …

The suit has no emperor.
So after being carried over the threshold by the media, and gaining super-majorities in both houses of the national den of thieves, we have been treated to the sad spectacle of attacking individual voices of dissent. One news network, talk radio, and blogs have reduced the Savior and the bright party to whimpering at every turn.
Defeat looms large next Tuesday in Virginia, New York, and possibly New Jersey. As all the King’s horses and all the King’s men scurry about, clambering over the debris of Hope and Change, The Man With No Core can only point at others, in desperate hope that the growing winds of disillusionment do not whisk him away.

Krauthammer, M.D. (Harvard-trained Psychiatrist) once said on FOX,
“The president’s narcissism knows no bounds.”
Too bad the video’s been taken down on that professional opinion of our Barry.

“The great majority of Americans other than racist white males love and support President Obama. He rules this country now in the name of all oppressed people and will lead us all into a new world of peace and justice.”
Replying to the above: Americans do NOT have rulers. He is NOT our ruler. He is in charge of the government on a temporary basis, and he isn’t managing the government very well.

As much as I like Glenn Beck & Rush, Charles Krauthammer accurately, articulately, and reasonably pulls the curtain back to show us that Obama, like the Wizard of Oz, is an illusion, and others are working the controls, smoke & mirrors.

Why is anybody surprised that we have a clueless, empty suit for a President. He was elected by those who are either radical leftists like Obama, rabidly partisan Democrats or those very vulnerable to the con artistry of an accomplished BS artist. He has to divert blame to Bush or Fox News for his ineptitude because he is incapable of defending his policy positions. When he tries, his statements are full of dishonest and/or misleading assertions. In spite of a massive effort over the past few months, he still cannot get a majority of Americans to buy into his health care reform proposals. He can’t even unify his own party behind his plan for a government takeover of health care. Characterizing Obama’s conduct as beyond disgraceful is a major understatement. The modus operandi for all radicals is to do everything possible to attack those who shine light on who they really are. Unlike Bush who never blamed Clinton for the myriad of problems he inherited in 2001, Obama is a completely classless individual who can’t accept personal responsibility for his own failings and is undeserving of the title of President of the United States. Harry, the buck stops here, Truman he is not.
