\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Washington Post editorial: “Obama\u2019s Foreign Policy Based on Fantasy.”<\/a> It\u2019s an editorial in the Post today. Let me read you some of this. “For five years, President Obama has led a foreign policy based more on how he thinks the world should operate than on reality.” That\u2019s the whole Obama presidency, not just foreign policy. And I submit to you that these people have known it from the get-go. Some people on our side are gonna see this editorial and start cheering, “Hey, hey, look, Washington Post!” No, that\u2019s the wrong way to look at this. This is utter irresponsibility. These people, who\u2019ve been propping up Obama since the 2008 campaign, have known from the get-go that the man was unqualified and incompetent, did not have the experience. That didn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

<\/a>It was Obama himself, folks. Obama himself. If you want to remember things, it was Obama himself who said that his election was gonna make the world a utopia, that two things had to happen for that to happen. A, he had to be elected. B, George Bush had to be sent packing. That was his campaign. If those two things happened, we\u2019ve got utopia, we\u2019ve got people around the world loving us once again. We\u2019re gonna have fairness and equality here at home. We\u2019re gonna have economic prosperity. We\u2019re gonna have free health care, all of that stuff, if we just get rid of these Republicans and if you elect me. And for five years, Obama has led an administration, not just on foreign policy, but more on how he thinks things ought to be than on reality. Fantasy land, living in a dream world based on a belief that this country\u2019s founding was unjust and immoral. <\/p>\n

Do not doubt me that Obama and his acolytes believe that. You can\u2019t have these Occupy Wall Street trolls writing pro-communist dissertations at Slate.com and then not accept what that means. What that means is there\u2019s some people — and there always have been — who despise this country, who do not like it. And there always have been those people. The danger now is they are running it. Obama has put people — did you hear what Rupert Murdoch said? Rupert Murdoch sent a tweet. Let me find this tweet here. This kind of ticks me off, too, in a way, but I\u2019ll get to that. I\u2019ll circle back to this. <\/p>\n

But let me tell you what Murdoch tweeted about New York City. “NYC now totally managed by leftist activists with no experience in running anything beyond protests. Big mess ahead.” Now, he\u2019s talking about the new mayor, Bill de Blasio. But he could be describing any entity that is run by a modern-day Democrat or leftist. He could be talking about Barack Obama. The country is now totally managed by leftist activists with no experience in running anything beyond protests. And what have they been protesting? America and the traditions and institutions which have defined America\u2019s greatness. <\/p>\n

So we have elected a guy who has appointed people who believe this country is unfair, unjust, immoral from its beginning, founding days. And their mission is to fix that. And that\u2019s what\u2019s been going on for five years. That is the transformation Obama promised and talked about. Now all of a sudden, when this incompetence has surfaced and is on display in the area of foreign policy, now all of a sudden these media protectors are worried. <\/p>\n

You know, Obama pretended to be dictator, or playing dictator and monkeying around with the traditions and institutions that made America great, that\u2019s fine, that\u2019s cool, that\u2019s one thing. We believe in that, but wait a minute, these people out there, Putin and Al-Qaeda, these are serious threats, and we don\u2019t really want to die at these people\u2019s hands. So now all of a sudden, now that Obama\u2019s incompetence is on display in the area of foreign policy, now all of a sudden it\u2019s time to say so. <\/line><\/p>\n

So again, here\u2019s this little piece, Washington Post editorial, “For five years, President Obama has led a foreign policy based more on how he thinks the world should operate than on reality. It was a world in which ‘the tide of war is receding\u2019 and the United States could, without much risk, radically reduce the size of its armed forces. Other leaders, in this vision, would behave rationally and in the interest of their people and the world. Invasions, brute force, great-power games and shifting alliances — these were things of the past. Secretary of State John F. Kerry displayed this mindset on ABC\u00c2\u2019s ‘This Week\u2019 Sunday when he said, of Russia\u00c2\u2019s invasion of neighboring Ukraine, ‘It\u00c2\u2019s a 19th century act in the 21st century.'” I highlighted that yesterday about how absolutely inane that is. <\/p>\n

So here you have Kerry complaining that Putin is using old-fashioned, infantry type tactics. And that\u2019s not the kind of world we have anymore. Doesn\u2019t he know he\u2019s cheating? He can\u2019t do that. He\u2019s violating agreements. And the Washington Post is beside itself now. Oh, my God. OMG. What in the world is happening? Now that this has found its away into the arena of foreign policy, now all of a sudden the glaring obvious incompetence of this whole Regime is now worrisome. <\/p>\n

The Post says, “That\u00c2\u2019s a nice thought,” that Kerry had, “and we all know what he means.”<\/p>\n

Yeah, let\u2019s excuse what he means. “Unfortunately, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not received the memo on 21st-century behavior. Neither has China\u00c2\u2019s president, Xi Jinping, who is engaging in gunboat diplomacy against Japan and the weaker nations of Southeast Asia. Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is waging a very 20th-century war against his own people, sending helicopters to drop exploding barrels full of screws, nails and other shrapnel onto apartment buildings where families cower in basements.” All of a sudden now it matters. <\/p>\n

Toward the end of the editorial, the Post writes, “Military strength, trustworthiness as an ally, staying power in difficult corners of the world such as Afghanistan — these still matter…” Do you know what kind of slice that is? I mean, that\u2019s right at Obama, because he\u2019s out there saying none of this stuff matters anymore. We\u2019re not a superpower. It\u2019s none of our business what these other people around the world are doing.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re gonna get out of it! We don\u2019t care!<\/p>\n

That is irresponsible and frightening. Even these people at the Post say, Uh-oh! Oh, no. “While the United States has been retrenching,” retreating — I\u2019m adding the words — and withdrawing, “the tide of democracy in the world … has been receding. In the long run, that\u00c2\u2019s harmful to US national security, too.” No kidding! We are the leader of the free world. If we get out of it, so will democracy elsewhere. <\/p>\n

The Post says, “As Mr. Putin ponders whether to advance further — into eastern Ukraine, say — he will measure the seriousness of US and allied actions, not their statements. China, pondering its next steps in the East China Sea, will do the same. Sadly,” they say, “that\u2019s the nature of the century we\u2019re living in.” What do you mean, the nature of the…? It\u2019s the nature of the world. <\/p>\n

Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force, and it always has been. It\u2019s not something specific to the Twenty-First Century. Vladimir Putin\u2019s not doing something that previous Soviet leaders have never done. The ChiCom leader is not doing something that Mao Tse-tung didn\u2019t do. There\u2019s nothing here that\u2019s new. It\u2019s nothing but reality going on here. We\u2019ve got a fantasyland administration trying to deny that. <\/p>\n

They can remake reality just by virtue of their own presence and existence. So while you may be out there applauding — “All right! Way to go Washington Post!” — not me. These sanctimonious people in the media all of a sudden now see Obama\u2019s nothing but smoke and mirrors. You want to say that his foreign policy is fantasy misses the point that Obama himself is a fantasy. It\u2019s just the same fantasy that the Drive-By Media made up and pushed. <\/p>\n

The media constructed a fantasy, they plugged Obama into it, and they were off to the races. It\u2019s kind of infuriating to me. None of this need be happening, is the point. Their headline at the Washington Post is, “President Obama\u2019s Foreign Policy is Based on Fantasy.” You have to wonder who hacked them. This could be a hack. But to ask whether or not they\u2019ve finally awakened from their long peacenik slumber? No. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just that this reality really matters. Contraceptives, telling Catholic Church where to go, you know, War on Women, all that other crock and lies and BS to destroy the Republican Party, that\u2019s fine. Whatever it takes to do that, that\u2019s cool. Whatever lie it takes — whatever distortion, whatever character assassination, whatever tactic is required to destroy the Republicans — we\u2019re in there, and we\u2019ll help you. But don\u2019t take that act of foreign policy, \u2019cause it\u2019s serious out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
