I SUPPOSE IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT ONE’S DEFINITION OF ‘GREATNESS’ IS…


Now as we all know, or at least should know by now, Democrats, especially those as far to the left as Barry, define greatness much differently than do those of us who actually love this country.  With them greatness is not based on the fact that America has long been the economic engine of the world, or that for decades America had been a stabilizing force in the world.  With Democrats, greatness is measured more by how many people can be made to depend upon government, by how many individuals have been forced into poverty, the level of debt that can be accrued or the level to which our country can be made to bow before her enemies.  In other words, one definition of greatness is based on strength while the other is based on weakness.

Which brings to how Barry “Almighty’ seems to have taken such offense to Trump’s claim that America needs to be made great again.  Barry has now seen fit to take aim at Donald Trump's contention that he will “make America great again” and the country doesn't “win anymore.”  Barry seems to have taken personal offense to that assessment, declaring at a recent Business Roundtable meeting in Washington that, “America's winning right now.”  Barry said, “America's great right now.” Granted, he added, “We can do even better.”  So says THE very same guy who has, and nearly single-handedly, done more to diminish the greatness of this country than anyone in recent memory.  He has done more damage than even Jimmy Carter managed to do.

Barry’s ‘shot across the bow’ came just hours before the Republicans who seek to succeed him met to debate at the Reagan library in Simi Valley, California, with the poll-leading Trump standing at center stage.  And it followed what had been a series of tweets from Barry on Tuesday defending his disastrous economic record and what he described as being the progress the country has made since the 2008 financial crisis.  It was on Wednesday prior to the GOP debate that Barry said, “This whole notion that somehow we're getting out-competed, out-dealt, out-this, out-that, we're losing, we're—nobody outside the United States understands what we're talking about.”  He added, “Overall, our cards are so much better than everybody else's.”

And it was on Twitter, after the debate, that Barry offered up an example of his rather bizarre concept of what he thinks “makes America great.”  It came via a message on Barry's verified Twitter account and made an apparent reference to reports of a 14-year-old Muslim boy in Texas who was detained by police this week for bringing a homemade clock to school and that was mistaken for a possible bomb.  Barry tweeted, “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science.”  Now really, isn’t that rather juvenile behavior for someone who’s supposed to be our president?  But then I suppose we need to keep in mind here who it is that we’re talking about here.

And it was also earlier on the day of the debate, that Barry, without naming the real estate mogul, knocked doom-and-gloom messages coming from the 2016 GOP field.  He said, “In the echo chamber that is presidential politics, everything is dark and everything is terrible.”  And of course he went on to add, “They don't seem to have many solutions but don't have any trouble figuring out who to blame.”  Well no shit, asshole.  Pointing out who’s to blame is a relatively simple task.   That would be the guy who has gotten us further into debt than every president who came before him, combined.  Granted he’s has plenty of help, but that’s not to say that he hasn’t been to star player in this comedy of errors.

And of course Barry slammed that approach, saying, “There's nothing particularly patriotic or American about talking down America.”  Which I thought was really quite ironic, even comical, to hear coming from Barry.  Especially since all that he has done since first stepping foot in to the Oval Office has been to take every opportunity to run this country down and to apologize for it as if it has something to be sorry for.  And the one thing that I think we can all safely agree on, regardless of what you may think about any of the Republican candidates, it’s that not one of them can be accused of hating this country.  And if Barry has made anything crystal clear since day one of his presidency, it’s that he possesses a deep-seated hatred of America.
