Lame Duck Obama Goes “Unhinged”

Published by at 8:48 pm under All General Discussions

President Obama seems to have lost his mind since President-Elect Trump’s huge election win.

What most people don’t realize is much of what Obama is doing through executive fiat is pointless and easily undone. For instance, his recent land grab in the Western States does not just happen once he signs a directive:

The White House announced that The Bears Ears National Monument in Utah will cover 1.35 million acres in the Four Corners region. The move is a victory for Native American tribes and conservationists for whom the land is considered sacred, but sparked intense opposition from Republicans.

“This arrogant act by a lame duck president will not stand,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah., tweeted.

With I lifetime working federal programs, I can tell you nothing in the government happens with a flick of a pen. The federal government is a sluggish beast which will take over a year to implement the directive – giving Trump plenty of time to stop or re-scope the action.

Second example: Obama and Kerry’s slap at Israel was so clumsy and crass that not only does everyone know the UN resolution is DOA here in the US (and apparently as far away as Australia), the ineptness of the move provided the perfect opening for the GOP to begin to defund the UN with Trump at the lead:

Sen. Lindsey Graham will propose a measure to pull US funding for the United Nations unless the UN Security Council repeals the resolution it passed condemning Israeli settlements.

“It’s that important to me,” he told CNN. “This is a road we haven’t gone down before. If you can’t show the American people that international organizations can be more responsible, there is going to be a break. And I am going to lead that break.”

Personally, it has become clear the UN has become a hotbed of international tension and strife, not peace. See Syria and Quadaffi for a prime example:

Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention.

Though the French-proposed U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 claimed the no-fly zone implemented over Libya was to protect civilians, an April 2011 email [archived here] sent to Hillary with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold” tells of less noble ambitions.

The email identifies French President Nicholas Sarkozy as leading the attack on Libya with five specific purposes in mind: to obtain Libyan oil, ensure French influence in the region, increase Sarkozy’s reputation domestically, assert French military power

, and to prevent Gaddafi’s influence in what is considered “Francophone Africa.”

This is how President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize?? But my point is, Obama’s and Kerry’s final shot backfired – big time. Now we can defund the UN without any serious counter arguments.

Anyway, the dumbest of dumb Obama moves may have been to try and continue with the idiotic idea American voters are chumps an were duped by Russian Hackers making DNC and Podesta Emails public (and exposing the truth about the Political Industrial Complex):

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Thursday released a joint report detailing how federal investigators linked the Russian government to hacks of Democratic Party organizations.

The document makes clear reference to the hacks of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, though it does not mention either by name.

The 13-page report provides technical details regarding tools and infrastructure used by Russian civilian and military intelligence services to “compromise and exploit networks and endpoints associated with the U.S. election, as well as a range of U.S. Government, political, and private sector entities.” (See the entire report below.)

I have said this many times but it bears repeating – the obvious reason ANYONE was able to hack into Podesta’s emails was because he was phished by someone who broke into Hillary’s home server which was so insecure a high school hacker could get in. Podesta opened himself up by clicking the phishing link:

Earlier this week, in an in-depth report on Russian cyberattacks, the New York Times revealed how Podesta’s credentials were given up because of the simplest of errors: a mere two missing letters: he was caught out by a typo.

Not his typo, mind you. Rather, an aide forwarded a phishing email sent to Podesta, sending it to the campaign’s IT staff to ask if the notice was for real. The email, purportedly from Google, said that hackers had tried to infiltrate Podesta’s Gmail account.

Clinton campaign aide Charles Delavan replied that yes, the message was “a legitimate e-mail” and that Podesta should “change his password immediately”.

There were two missing letters – “i” and “l” – that should have preceded the word “legitimate”.

Note the GOP was not hacked – because they did not communicate via the insecure Clinton server. Note the DNC was hacked, because they did communicate via the insecure server Clinton server. So this dog don’t hunt. Why Obama is trotting this mangy excuse out again is beyond sanity.

Only Obama would create an international crisis to try and lay down some barriers for incoming President Trump. The guy is just out of control to put so much tension in the world to get even with Trump and his supporters. Thankfully, he is seen as more clown than anything else.

What we saw in the hacked emails was the reality behind the DC curtains, and Les Deplorables don’t need a PhD in Politics to figure out we need to drain DC the swamp.

Obama’s lame duck attempt to salvage his legacy is beyond lame…

It is unhinged.

    Diagnosis: Malignant Narcissist.

    Prognosis: One day, in the middle of some speech about “I, me, the right side of History, my TWO terms in office,” etc, he’s gonna go WAY off-topic and start babbling about somebody stealing his strawberries, (*) or maybe his arugula. His “handlers” will jump up and try to drag him away from the podium while he’s shrieking and accusing them, and everybody else, of being in on the conspiracy … And EVEN THEN, half
    the country won’t see what’s obvious. Unhinged, half-a-bubble off plumb, couple bricks shy of a load … what are some other good descriptors????
