The Hubris and Incompetence of Barack Obama

"Leadership is hard.  Harry Truman wasn’t the best president ever, but at least he knew his job.

"When it came time to decide in 1945 after the Potsdam Declaration, "Bomb or No bomb," he made the call and did the right thing, which was a very hard thing.  When General MacArthur and he began to have significant differences of opinion on policy and operational conduct, he did the hard thing and relieved MacArthur.  In both of these cases, he dealt with extraordinary pressures and demands and through it all, still made a decision.

"Contrast that with what comes from the Occupant in Chief; lots and lots of "I just learned about this the same time you did" followed generally by "It was/wasn't a youtube video"  "It was (insert policy maker/leaders' name here) decision"  followed closely by not doing anything of significance or involving competence and then pivoting to solving the student loan crisis." 
This next is going to hurt:
My guess is that Barack is going to say he learned about all of this Al-Qaeda movement from the media.  At least, that will be his excuse.  Might be a good one, since he doesn't attend his daily briefings. 
Ouch. Told you so.
