Charles Krauthammer — Still an Asshole

found online by Raymond

 
From Capt. Fogg at Human Voices:

Some have been tempted to cut Charles Krauthammer some slack of late, since he’s decided to recognize the dangers of a Trump presidency, but he’s still an asshole.

The world disdains Barack Obama and he’s earned it, he says. There are no actual statistics to prove it, only a handful of anecdotes that support the idea that our enemies don’t like him. Countries engaged in military aggression and expansion have publicly snubbed him: China by making him wait and Russia by making him wait and Iran dislikes him too.

  1. And how! This idea that the friction Obama receives is earned doesn’t take into account what he has accomplished nor the conditions under which he has accomplished it, nor whether what he has accomplished was achieved by methods his detractors thought wouldn’t work (cognitive dissonance, anyone?) or whether his results were simply contrary to the intended goals of his detractors–all really valuable data, right? Everybody gets friction. The sun shines all the time, but not always on your side of the planet. It is what it is. Krauthammer seems to prefer the Dark Side.

  2. Captain Fogg seems to be lost in the fog. Most of the world does indeed disdain our president. Krauthammer, whether you think he is an ass…. or not, is absolutely right. Further, he gave specific examples of our enemies’ disdain and fearlessness of our impotent and feckless leader.

    Vixen and our good Captain reply that President Obama has achieved so much under his watch. Of course, no examples of his accomplishments to help the American people or the world are given.

    Only epithets and names-calling are given to those that would dare say that the emperor Obama has no clothes.

    It is truly ironic that Captain Fogg thinks Krauthammer prefers “the Dark Side” simply because he, like most of the rest of the world, disdains President Obama and lists some very specific reasons why. Nebulous praise for Obama and images of Nazi salutes attributed to his detractors are all that Captain Fogg seems to have.

    Do you know what dissipates fog? The warmth of disinfecting sunlight.

    1. Here you go:

      Most of the world, indeed.

      As for our enemies’ disdain, I’m not sure that having their love would be a good sign. As for Obama’s impotence, perhaps you can share some of your own brilliant foreign policy ideas that would have stopped North Korea, Russia, Iran, and others from doing some of the things that they’ve done over the last 8 years. Please be advised that your ideas must meet the following criteria:

      1.) They must be politically, economically, and militarily viable
      2.) They must actually solve the problems in question
      3.) They must not create worse problems
      4.) They must be backed up by foreign policy experts
