Talking Points

Opinion: Lou Dobbs Jul. 28, 2015: http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/lou-dobbs-tonight/index.html#/v/4382474944001

“A few thoughts now on our President, abroad, and his musings on life after the presidency. A man trying to come to terms with the constitutional reality that, well, he can have only two terms.

Well first, I’m a little disturbed that our President found it necessary to say three times that he can’t run again. That’s a fellow struggling with a frustrating reality, it seems to me. Then I’m a little taken aback by his claim that he’s a pretty good President. I know, I should be grateful that his claim isn’t more grandiose than just a “pretty good.” But Mr. Obama hasn’t been “pretty good.” He’s been, in fact, the opposite. The opposite of almost everything he said he would do, the opposite of the image he projected as a candidate. Mr. Obama put down Mr. Bush as a unilateralist. Yet Mr. Obama has only proven himself to be a greater unilateralist than Bush expanding executive power, taking the presidency from the imperial to the authoritarian and going it alone on illegal immigration, trade and ruling by fiat. President Obama vowed to regain respect on the world stage, yet his administration is a laughing stock around the world being played for a fool by Iran, Russia and China, and of course Mexico and the rest of the hemisphere. In his 2008 campaign, Mr. Obama presented himself as the great uniter, but he’s the great divider. During his tenure, race relations have profoundly worsened with nearly 6 in 10 Americans now saying race relations are bad. He promised his administration would be the “most open and transparent in history.” It has been the least such, defying Congress and the news media, and denying access to government records at an unprecedented rate and level. But his most frightening statement today, his claim that he could win a third term, is much closer to the truth than anything else he said today. Mr. Obama and the national liberal media are allies and 40% of the electorate follows Obama blindly…all of whom seem to care little about the direction in which he is leading us all. The Constitution is all that stands between the President and a third term, and frankly, I’ve never been more afraid that our Constitution is in peril.”
