What that ignoramous-in-chief is most ignorant of is history itself.

No need to insult a bag of hammers

Yay. Our Leader-From-Behind-in-Chief proves once again that he’s a history-tard.
Pretty sad… a friend of mine was at that breakfast, and noted that it was kind of depressing that when the President of the United States (supposedly the most brilliant speaker ever, the smartest guy to ever enter the Oval Office, etc., etc.,…) gave his speech, it was pretty much the low point of an otherwise inspiring event.

The Hindmost was the leader of a herd of herbivores. That part fits. But it still gives Obama too much credit. The reason the Hindmost led from behind was to protect the herd from trailing carnivores; his natural weapon was a deadly backwards kick.

Actually, The Hindmost led from the rear because that’s where the smartest and sanest Puppeteer would stay, putting the entire herd between him and the threat.

Oh, and I was going to point out that a bag of hammers is potentially useful.

In the hands of a skilled tradesman, a hammer can be used to build civilization. In the hands of a thug, a hammer becomes a weapon for murder and destruction.

What will be Obozamais’s Titanic sized monument to be? Or is it already built– the 15 trillion $($15,000,000,000,000.00) of borrowing??? Or is his reign to end in the funeral pyre of tens of millions of dead in a Fifth Crusade that he fathered(this century’s Neville Chamberlain)?
If the great wall of China and the pyramids hadn’t been built, would we now be spread out amongst the planets or even the stars…..

Well, clearly Obama was a product of public schools…where history has become “social studies” whatever the hell that is…and the Christians are always the bad guys….
Could be about the most stupid speech he has ever given…and that’s saying something.
Thank goodness Jan’s fine “assets” offer some distraction?
Think she might show up to go skinny dipping’ in the pond?

Obama was a product of madrassas and Marxst/Leninist indoctrination. Far worse than even the worst of the Common Core tripe children are subjected to these days.
No doubt with a large helping of “touchy-feely” from his short-eyed mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. Obama certainly had numerous introductions to the “bathhouse culture” of Chicago and elsewhere.

Sigh…true…that would explain so much…I’m sure that Indonesian school said those Christians were EVIL for wanting their land back that the Mohammedans had rightfully stolen. Sort of a 7th Century version of wealth redistribution.
And of course, all TRUE Progressives “know” that all religions are equally evil…part of their world view of moral relativism and subjective truth.
Argh…the idiocy is overwhelming…

King Abdullah of Jordan has been showing leadership in this Crisis with ISIS. Maybe we should have a twofer. Invite Netanyahu and Abdullah to each present a speech to a joint session of Congress and show O&Co how real men face national existential problems.
February 5, 2015 at 11:24 pm

His Majesty (Abdullah, not The One) knows that his country’s survival, and his personal survival and that of his family, are on the line.
The One is convinced that ISIS and other Islamic groups will only exterminate people he doesn’t like, anyway.
Sort of the same assumption Neville Chamberlain made about a certain failed Austrian landscape artist.
The difference is that a modern Dunkirk would have The One cheering for the other side. Reality simply never intrudes upon the fantasy universe in his head.
As Colin Wilson once said of Nero, if he were an average citizen, say a small business owner, The One would be eccentric but by and large harmless.
But as the leader of a major world power (us), he’s an unmitigated disaster.

They understand that. They think they’ll be able to control them once they’ve used them for their ends. Iranian communists made the same mistake with the mullahs in the late 70s when they used them to get rid of the Shah. Turned out that 7th century mullahs were more ruthless than 20th century commies.

What he said was, “…during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.” Dispute the relevance or historical context, but it’s a true statement.

Don’t go too heavy on defending the crusades. They’re too broad a category of human behavior stretched out across time and space. The sacking of Constantinople in 1204 was not a good thing. The Pope was right to apologize for it.
