Is Obama a villain? Or only delusional?
By James Lewis in American Thinker
President Obama is trying to make
nice with Jewish American voters again -- those who haven’t caught on to his
multiple betrayals in the Middle East. Israelis -- those who are in touch
with reality -- feel betrayed. The Saudis feel betrayed. Egypt
feels betrayed. Libya was betrayed worst of all, and believe it or not,
before Obama became president even Syria was considered to be friendly to the
United States.
More than 200,000 dead Syrian
Muslims, Christians and Kurds later, Obama may still smile and smile, but the
Arab world and the saner half of Israel keep wondering if he is a
villain.
The only regime that loves us over
there keeps chanting, “Death to America! Death to Israel!”
Oh, yeah? The Sunni Arabs have
fought Shi’ite Iran for a thousand years, and they think they mean those
genocidal threats. Which is why the Sunnis are getting their own nuclear
weapons. But Sunni regimes are none too stable, either.
A hundred million liberals actually
believe that, because who would tell a super-colossal whopper like that? The
Big Lie technique still works.
Now we are six years into this
cult-like administration and the biggest question is still the same: “Is Obama
a villain? Or only delusional?”
As Hamlet says early in the play,
“Meet it is
I set it down
That a man may smile and smile
And be a villain.”
And then he makes a note in his
notebook -- because Hamlet is paralyzed when it comes to action. His
problem is deep denial. He cannot believe the depth of treachery that
surrounds him, his mother and uncle plotting to kill his father and take over
the kingdom, then to send assassins after Hamlet himself. It takes four
Acts for Hamlet to work through his denial.
It has taken the American media six
years, and there’s no glimmering in the darkness yet.
Shakespeare wrote for the court of
Elizabeth I, who ordered the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots and Walter
Raleigh. Court life was full of “treason, stratagems and spoils.”
Shakespeare’s tragedies are about betrayal -- King Lear, Macbeth, Richard
III, Hamlet -- because treason against the royal house was the greatest danger
of his time. Spain and France were constantly exploiting religious
divisions to undermine the kingdom. Hypnotic villains like Richard III
manipulated vulnerable suckers, just as they do today. Each great tragedy
shows malignant traitors and victims who can’t escape their own mental
blinders.
Human nature hasn’t changed, but the
technology of war is much more dangerous.
Liberals
are still lulled by lying Democrats with big smiles. Jimmy Carter’s big
toothy smile was a factor in his election, and here we are forty years later,
stuck with a nation of 70 million Muslims who are told to prepare for war
against us every single day: Against Israel, against America, against the Sunni
Arabs.
Jimmy Carter looked on passively
when the Ayatollah overthrew a strong, modernizing, pro-Western ally in
Iran. That is why we are now threatened by a brainwashed nation of
suicidal fanatics going for nuclear weapons. Iran was the first Muslim
theocracy thirsting for nukes -- but it won’t be the last.
Obama’s million-dollar grin is one
of his biggest assets, and he obviously believes he can still sucker the same
folks who fell for the same lies before. Bill Clinton did it.
Carter did it. Barack Obama wants his chance.
Barack Obama has made the world much
more dangerous than ever before. We have had lying politicians before,
but not in a world of rogue regimes armed with nuclear weapons.
