Well, last week was certainly entertaining, albeit disappointing and quite frightening; sort of like a reality show thriller.  Serious discussion of Obama’s speech at the U.N. is now underway.  Obama noted that the U.S. has now begun – in just the last nine months - to contribute to the betterment of the world.  I’ll leave the analysis of the speech to the policy wonks; I want to talk about the show itself since truth is stranger than fiction and last week was so surreal it bordered on fantasy.

The supposed leader of the free-world (or, was it the entire world?) looked like the ringmaster at a gruesome three-ring circus when he stopped by at the U.N. in New York to meet with the likes of Mahmoud ‘Ahmedinutjob’ of Iran, ‘Qaddaffy-Duck’ of Libya and ‘Ego Chavez’ of Venezuela.  (Side-bar: FoxNews aired an exclusive and hysterical interview with ‘Ego’ wherein he went on a rant and described the network’s journalists as “stupid” - but then clarified that he excluded his interviewer, who had evidently caught him off guard, from that adjective.)

What a sight it was – every crackpot third-world despot and power-hungry kook seemed to be there.  We should have rounded them all up and sent them to Guantanamo.  They come out of the woodwork like, well, you know when the U.N. is in session.  Isn’t it remarkable how the global lunatic fringe doesn’t seem to care anymore?  How they’re up in our collective western societal face now?  Almost as if the inmates were running the asylum - and they’re not afraid to point that out to us.  It seems the adults are no longer in charge.  It’s like a global Lord of the Flies, sized extra-large watching these loons in action.  Say what you will about W, at least he kept this crowd in check for the most part.  Yes, yes, I know ‘Ahmedinutjob’ was doing all manner of ill on W’s watch, too, but now over the weekend, His Nuttiness took it to a new level, launching a test missile capable of hitting western Europe.  It’s as if to spit in the world’s eye in advance of the “discussions” coming this week over Iran’s nuclear program, and in retaliation for the U.S. exposing to the G20 that he’s building a second nuclear enrichment facility.

Did this happen while the enemies of freedom mentioned how much they despise the leader of the free world for being the leader?  Nope. Just the opposite. ‘Ego’ and ‘Qaddaffy’ BOTH were singing Obama’s praises, as was semi-retired Cuban leader ‘Fidel Castor-Oil’.  If those three lunatics are all on record telling the world how much they love you, you’re off-track, Barack (hey, that’s sounds clever).  I can’t wait for these thugs to announce their endorsement of Obama for re-election in three years; ‘Qaddaffy-Duck’ already said he wishes ‘off-track Barack’ could be president forever.  Put that particular endorsement alongside the YouTube video of a kindergarten class singing Obama’s praises to the tune of ‘Jesus loves the little children’ and now creepiness has also been nationalized - faster than you can say “public option health insurance”.

The only things missing last week were a visit from ‘Kim Jong Mentally-Ill’ of North Korea; that and a cameo appearance by Jimmy Carter of course.  That would have completed the picture.  It is unfortunate that the biggest thugs on the planet no longer hide in caves, fearing U.S. courage and strength.  Alas, they're pitching big bedouin tents in Donald Trump's yard.  I suspect they’re all laughing their crazy heads off at how the Americans were duped into electing Obama president.  Putin and the Chinese have got to be getting a hearty chuckle out of this, too.  How could they not be sharpening their knives with sheer glee?  (As it is, ‘off-track Barack’ is fresh off of handing the Poles and Czechs on a silver platter to the Russian bear to devour while we watch in horror.)  Watch for China to enforce its one-China policy on Taiwan shortly, now that the U.S. is abandoning its friends and allies en masse.
