PRESIDENT FAILURE AND HIS FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE'S SMART DIPLOMACY:

• Belmont Club: The Men Who Would Be King
• Washington Post: Why the Ben Rhodes profile in the New York Times Magazine is just gross
• NY Post: White House admits it played us for fools to sell Iran deal
• The Lid: Obama Adviser Ben Rhodes Explains: He’s The “Ventriloquist” To Mainstream Media’s Dummies
• PJ Media: Meet the Flimflam Man Behind Obama’s Foreign Policy ‘Narrative’
• WFB: Ben Rhodes, Liar
• Ben Shapiro: Hillary Clinton Lies… A Lot:

The truth (and lies) behind why Hillary is unfit to be president
. . . "Voters distrust Clinton with good reason. She has repeatedly looked them in the eye and told bald-faced lies. But it is the callousness and ease with which she lies that should be more troubling. Despite the murders of four Americans at the hands of terrorists while serving as secretary of state, Clinton claimed we "didn't lose a single person" in Libya under her watch. She has even had the gall to call one of the victim's mothers a liar, even though we know it was Hillary who lied about the cause of the Benghazi terrorist attack." . . .

A Trump Win Would Destroy Clinton’s Legacy — and Obama’s

NRO

. . . "But Trump isn’t just playing in the Republican primary anymore. And if he’s competitive in November, or wins, it will be a loud, clear signal that Obama’s presidency largely failed. Eight years of his policies and leadership left Americans angry, disappointed, and frightened enough to be willing to roll the dice on Trump."

With Gender Bender Bathrooms, Liberals Jump the Shark

American Thinker  . . . "Rights talk has turned out to be political gold for liberals, so why not combine the right to be creative with the rights of helpless victims? You demand your right to be edgy and out there with the demand to be cosseted as a helpless victim in your safe space." . . . 

Obama’s Toilet Revolution   . . . "Barack Obama and his militant Justice Department don’t care at all about individuals confused or rebellious about their gender. As with all revolutionary activity, the goal is to seize upon crisis in order to further the aggrandizement of the State, and its control over every competing area of society.

"Obama’s response to North Carolina is a classic Leftist maneuver of setting up a straw man, or transgender in this case, to ensure and continue to expand federal power over the states. From a revolutionary perspective, states with their 10th Amendment constitutional sovereignty are antithetical to the long-term objective of an international socialist system. " . . .  

Wow! Obama drives down coal company stocks, and Soros buys them on the cheap

Thomas Lifson

Notice Obama's touch of affection

"I have always believed that global warming is a gigantic scam, driven by greed and lust for power. Now comes the shocking news, via Steve Milloy writing on Breitbart, that following President Obama’s use of CO2 emissions as a weapon to drive major coal companies near bankruptcy, the ultimate politically connected speculator George Soros is buying up stock in major coal producers on the cheap.

"I predicted last week that the left wasn’t going to kill off the coal industry so much as it was going to steal it. That prediction is already becoming true courtesy of billionaire George Soros.
"U.S. Securities and Exchange Act filings indicate that Soros has purchased an initial 1 million shares of Peabody Energy and 553,200 shares of Arch Coal, the two largest publicly traded U.S. coal companies. As pointed out last week, both companies have been driven perilously close to bankruptcy by the combination of President Obama’s “war on coal” and inexpensive natural gas brought on by the hydro fracturing revolution." . . .

"Having elected him president twice, we have done much to earn Obama’s contempt."

Look what this man has done to this nation by means of, um..less than intelligent voters.

THE RUNT OF RHODES   "Obamacare was built on an edifice of calculated lies. Some of us could see the propositions on which President Obama sold Obamacare as falsehoods at the time of the selling. Others have learned from bitter experience after the buying. President Obama and his team hold a low opinion of the intelligence of the American people. See, for example, the case of Jonathan Gruber. Having elected him president twice, we have done much to earn Obama’s contempt.

"Now comes Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes to reveal the lies on which Obama’s alliance with the Islamic Republic of Iran was promoted." . . . 

"Rhodes is not, as he should be, confined to fetching coffee and performing other menial tasks befitting his qualifications to formulate national security policy. “He is,” writes [Ben] Samuels, “according to the consensus of the two dozen current and former White House insiders I talked to, the single most influential voice shaping American foreign policy aside from Potus himself.”

"Rhodes himself, however, is an odious ignoramus who knows one thing: Obama’s servitors in the mainstream media are useful idiots." . . .

UPDATE: Obama the Fabulist   . . . What Rhodes and the president share though, is not so much a leftist approach to foreign affairs -- though presumably that plays a role -- but rather a talent for creating foreign policy fables that flatter Obama and his coterie, and can be passed off to lapdog media types as “successes.” In this, Rhodes is just one more piece of the fictional story that is Barack Hussein Obama, the country and the world his stage, and the rest of us merely players -- if that." . . .

Jonathan Gruber—"the MIT economist who worked closely on both Obamacare and Romneycare—as the guy who thinks voters are “stupid.' ”

FORMER OBAMA ADVISER: OBAMA’S WEAKNESS DRIVING ALLIES TOWARD RUSSIA

 

"As I hear on my visits to the region, Arabs and Israelis alike are looking to the next administration."

 

PowerLine  "Dennis Ross is a respected, if thoroughly conventional, expert on the Middle East. A Democrat, he has served in both Republican and Democratic administrations as an adviser and envoy. Ross served in the State Department as Hillary Clinton’s Special Advisor for the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia. Subsequently, he joined President Obama’s National Security Council staff as a Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for the Central Region, which includes the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Pakistan and South Asia. So when Ross writes, in Politico, that Obama’s foreign policy weakness is hurting American interests, we should take notice.

President Obama’s Deceitful Legacy Tour

"But even the Times had to admit in that article that average family incomes are “$4,000 less than…when Bill Clinton left office,” and that the nation faces growing economic inequality."

Noisy Room

. . . "President Obama is guaranteed to be celebrated as the first black president in the history books. However, any fair accounting will need to cover the disaster that is the Iran deal, and Obama’s unilateral quest to complete the transformation of America at any cost. And there is a list of scandals that the media have refused to identify as such. President Obama is not a liberal Ronald Reagan; Reagan succeeded at what he put his mind to. President Obama has simply left in his wake a series of broken promises and disasters. Maybe that’s what he intended all along."
