The dominant perception of Obama continues to be one of a well-intentioned, albeit naive, statesman who had the best of intentions, some of which didn't pan out. I look forward to the day when Obama will be recognized for the subversive demonic creature that he really is.

Once you begin to see that everything Obama did has served to weaken and destabilize America, both internally as well as internationally, everything falls into place. You have to admire his brazen courage to do things he did, from inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to his Cairo speech all the way to throwing billions at the Ayatollahs as part of a "reset of our ME policy"—and he got away with it all. Mr. Smooth, the debonair well-spoken black man, the Iago who charmed the pants off the liberal intelligentsia, and nearly brought down Western civilization single-handedly.

Well said. I can remember a certain speech he gave at a Democrat convention while still a junior Senator. His charisma jumped through the TV screen and I knew immediately that he would be president in the near future. At the same time I felt as though I had been exposed to some terrible evil. Devout Christians call him the "Anti-Christ". Although I don't believe their New Testament end-of-days narrative I can understand why they would give him this label.

"His charisma jumped through the TV screen and I knew immediately that he would be president in the near future."

Yes, I did too, exactly; but I was hoping he'd stick around in the senate awhile, get the hang of things and learn both to compromise and to twist arms, and then run.

But no. We got a smug, wet-behind-the-ears newbie who didn't know what he didn't know and knew things that weren't true.

Oh, I voted for him; I couldn't stomach Sara Palin. And I was glad for black people. But regret set in fast.

What I can understand is Qatari wealth funding totally unprincipled Hillary and the anti.Christ Obama, but why does the Rockefeller’s and Soros fund them?

Good question—let me make a pass at it. I think that the Islamists are not the only ones who are trying to destroy the West. The Chinese are actively engaged as well, and so are the Globalists, the people who brought us the pandemic, runaway inflation, election fraud and a host of other evils. If together they succeed in bringing down America, they will turn on each other and fight to the last man standing. For now, they are content to collaborate in the battle against a common enemy. So, oil sheiks find themselves at the table seated next to the Chinese Communists who sit next to New World Order bankers as they plan together how to bring down the house.

I believe the Islamo/Leftist alliance (a.k.a. Red/Green alliance) has been the most influential enemy of the West thus far; the one those New World Order bankers, oil sheiks, Soros-type billionaires and Chinese communists take their marching orders from. This alliance goes as far back as the Russian Revolution.

This administration is filled with Obama administration lackeys who hate Israel .It always important to remember that personnel make policy and that the anti Israel views of many of the Cabinet and sub cabinet appointees demonstrate that this administration is filled and staffed by fans of Hamas

You end with an ‘either/or’. Where’s the mutual exclusivity? Biden IS a hypocrite AND Obama IS calling the shots. Didn’t you catch Biden’s Pinocchio pantomime at the Correspondent’s Dinner in reaction to Colin Jost’s joke? It was grandpa cute. Maybe he’s more stooge than hypocrite - hypocrite requires remembering both sides of a lie. For an aging America ya gotta keep the sound bites simple - example: the Trump trial isn’t about election interference, it IS election interference.

What I cannot get out of my mind is the sound of silence from Michelle Obama about the merciless raping and killing of young women by the Hamas terrorists. She has stood up for others, but not the Israelis. It hurts! I am so sorry I fell for the Obamas and helped to get them elected. I have since realized my mistake.

Thank you Joshua for another brilliant analysis.

Absurd silence indeed.

Once upon a time the State Department was clearly Arabist Now it is not just staffed by Arabists but also by supporters of academically trained supporters of Hamas

The Law!

Nobody's above the law!

The'basics'!!!

Who started the game in the first place?

Who drew the 'first blood'?

The US should stick to the rules and play the game accordingly of course!

Getting rid of the ''HAMAS" and the likes should be the top priority since day one!

Killing people at will for the sake of religion, territory or race (ethnicity) holds no water much less right in this century! OK?

So!

Do it!

Get it done!

It is for the best!

And!

History will testify the rest!

Don't argue! OK?

Since the beginning of Biden's presidency, there has always been talk in the news that Obama is the puppeteer for Biden. It was said all the policies Biden seemed to be in favor of reeked of Obama. We know in the US that Obama was never a friend to Israel, but merely tolerated Netanyahu. The little he did for Israel was miniscule compared to what he did for Iran. I volunteered, supported, and changed my party from Independent to Democrat so I could vote for him in the primary and then continued voting for him for president. It was a mistake I will never make again.

Just tossing out a thought: does anyone wonder why Ari Emmanuel left the White House and the relationship with Obama ? I have often speculated, but know little of the Byzantine world of American Politics. It just seems that most of us (the "cannon fodder") are in a state of constant manipulation. I know why I opine over certain world events and I make no apologies. My footing on my moral compass does not waver and I am too old to be afraid of anything.

Brilliant synopsis!!!!

Thanks Josh. While your article comes as no surprise to me and all those so-called "conspiracy theorists" on Conservative and Conservative Jewish social media sites it offers some useful specifics to further connect the dots. In the words of my late, blessed husband, upon learning that Obama won his first term as president, "How could they put a HUSSEIN in the White House? Did they forget 9/11?"

I agree. Something in the Democratic Party STINKS! They are all over this ‘new’ Hamas agreement. They are a complete disgrace!!!

Biden has “mismanaged the war?” Why is this always America’s to “manage?” It’s Hamas that has occupied Gaza for 20 years and is a terrorist death cult. It’s Netanyahu that has elevated racist zealots that have wanted to kill as many Palestinians as they can way before 10/7. It was Iran that elevated Hamas to rape and murder Israeli civilians. It was the Israelis that ignored their own intelligence for two years that Hamas was planning 10/7. It’s the Israelis that have declared a goal of regime change with absolutely no plan for what fills the vacuum.

Yet it’s always Obama! Biden! Trump! This is all Jimmy Carter’s fault! Blah blah blah. Always some American boogey man out there for the actual actors in this conflict to avoid any and all scrutiny and accountability. The entire situation is fucked, let’s all stop pretending this is a simple game of connect the dots.

I don’t think Obama has to do anything. His people are there in the Biden administration coupled with this DEI crap. I also don’t think Biden is just a figure head. I think he is a mean malevolent ignoramus. He hasn’t changed since his fight with Begin. He is just another DC narcissistic liar and 2 faced creep.

Beg to disagree. Obama’s not calling the shots. This is all just Biden. The word is, “No one can get through to Biden.” He’s like a stone wall on this question. His extreme pro-Israel stance is due to lifelong ideology. It is now seriously threatening his re-election chances.

The State Department people don’t matter. Right now they mirror public opinion. 71% of the population wants to end aid to Israel so they’re right in step now. The public has completely turned on Israel in the most horrible way since October. I can give you the figures.

Support for Israel crashed to 33%, a 32 point drop. Most went over to support both or neither so both-sidesing is the norm for public opinion.

I am a progressive Gentiles. My position on this war doesn’t matter but I don’t want to see huge massacres or removal of Jews from the land.

If Biden doesn’t back off on Israel he might lose the election and then we get an open fascist called Trump. That’s our position. Biden supporting Israel threatens to end democracy in the US.

Like it or not most Americans don’t like the way Israel is prosecuting this war. 60% at last polling. At the very least it’s been very excessive. It’s really pissing people off.

Hamas left the Brotherhood in 2019. This is another sign of their moderation. They’ve been moderating dramatically since 2012.

The shipments have been coming in very slowly for a while now. And yesterday Biden halted a shipment.

The war’s over. Get real. The Gazans are defeated, in rubble, destroyed for a long time. They won’t be able for do another attack like that in a very long time. Think about it man.

Qatar’s money doesn’t go for guns. Just goes for general support for the money. The weapons money comes Iran only. It’s 12% of the budget.

Much is on point here but it does veer a bit too far to the conspiracy side. Biden is in a bind between anti-Israel progressives, including Obama and members of his administration serving again, and moderate Democrats. Republicans are scoring political points, with the college protests the icing on the cake. Continued prevarication is leading to crisis at the Democratic convention every bit as consequential as 1968. Biden fails to see that the path to redemption is to stand with Israel to complete the primary military task. He should join with Republicans for the moment so we speak with one voice.

Obama won't let him. You outline what would be the reasonable course of action but, for the moment, saving Hamas is a higher priority. That's why they are putting everything they have on the line to keep Israel from going into Rafah and finishing off Hamas. In terms of election politics, it's obvious that the Democrats would be better served by supporting the Jews than the handful of Islamists up in Minnesota, but Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood are desperate to avoid the loss of Hamas. To save Hamas they are willing to risk alienating the Jews for now and to come back later and remind the Jews that the 11th commandment requires them to vote for the Democrat party.

Welcome Dave. I don’t disagree, but you must be a newly arrived alien. I don’t mean from Mexico, I mean from the UFO they sighted the other day.
