When we started this week it was already pretty obvious that Barack Obama is one of the weakest Presidents ever.  In case you doubt this, check out the following report from the Voice of Russia.  Granted one should not expect favorable press from the Voice of Russia, but the problem here is that this is all too believable:

Jennifer Psaki has already become a symbol of Obama’s cabinet weak foreign policy. Thus, unsurprisingly, some bloggers compare her dialogs with an AP writer Matthew Lee to live performances on Jon Stewart’s satirical show. Indeed, Jen Psaki’s ludicrous notions regarding Victoria Nuland’s bad habit of using foul language, or the mysterious ‘carousel voting’ in eastern Ukraine, or her embarrassing ‘selfie’ with #UnitedForUkraine hashtag, put into question the State Department spokesperson’s professional competency and political sanity as well as of those who hired her.

I wish I could say the Voice of Russia got it all wrong.

While our foreign affairs are beyond pathetic things are even worse at home.  We had negative GDP growth this quarter.  Democrats promptly blamed the cold winter caused by global warming.  The VA scandal is so bad that Obama actually fired someone.  Then Jay Carney announced he was leaving.  We don’t know if Carney was fired or he was he just sick and tired of defending the indefensible.  The Select Committee on Benghazi is heating up and the only defense Hillary can think of is to try and blame the video. If that’s the best she’s got, she is in far more trouble than you can imagine.

All this was bad enough, but there’s more.  Obama cut a deal to free five Guantanamo inmates in exchange for one U.S. soldier.  The first response must be relief that this American soldier is back with his family.  That is obviously a very good thing.  But unfortunately it is not that simple.  According to Fox News the men released from Guantanamo were high level Taliban commanders.  According to CNN they were taxi-cab drivers who got lost in 2002 and were accidentally picked up by American forces.  Sometimes I wonder if CNN and FOX are even covering the same story. But regardless of who they were, the Taliban definitely wanted them back.  The entire world now knows that Obama will negotiate with terrorists.

The Taliban are celebrating tonight because of the release of those five prisoners.  The family of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is celebrating his release to U.S. forces.  We all celebrate his return.  However, we must also ask a very simple question.  Who will be celebrating tomorrow?
