The cost of allowing millions of low information voters to pick our president continues to climb

Richard Fernandez over at the Belmont Club sums up the latest Obama debacle very well.

  "But the crisis has not yet ended. It’s just moved from Syria to Washington. There is now a power vacuum in Washington. For either there’s a new President Obama — one who has learned to share power not only with the other branches, but also with other points of view within America — or a new President in the manner of Gerald Ford after Nixon left. The old omnipotent President Obama, able to make the seas fall, the child of the world uniquely equipped to build bridges everywhere, answerable only to himself, is gone.

As America’s leader the old Obama handed Syria, Russia and Iran and huge victory. Gave it to them on a platter with his vaunting, invincible stupidity. In the process, not only has he shot America in the foot on the world stage but he will have emboldened the Ayatollahs to forge ahead with their nuclear ambitions. He will have encouraged Russia to make a comeback in the region. We will shortly feel these effects in Egypt, Iran and even in Europe."

And don't think this latest presidential face plant is unique.  The multiple other failures and scandals of he and his party have simply been minimized here at home by his lap dog press. That can't happen as effectively on the international stage, so he pays more of a price.  We the people have to suffer the full consequences of all of it, however, and there are more than three years of his incompetence and corruption still to endure.  Let's hope we can recover when it's all said and done.
