Obama, the president who lost his voice https://www.salon.com/2015/12/01/richard_cohen_speculates_obama_is_so_weak_he_would_have_lost_wwii_to_hitler/
I was surprised to see this on MSN. I don't find criticism of Obama in the NY Times, MSNBC, NBC, etc.
I was planning on posting an excerpt from the article, but I read it several times, and decided to post the whole thing.
There is a video and more content in the link above.

The presidency has changed Barack Obama. His hair has gone gray, which is to be expected, and he looks older, which is also to be expected, but his eloquence has been replaced by petulance and he has lost the power to persuade, which is something of a surprise. You can speculate that if the Obama of today and not Winston Churchill had led Britain in World War II, the Old Vic theater would now be doing “Hamlet” in German.
The president has lost his voice, that is certain. The numbers say so. Obama has the approval of only 44 percent of the American people. During his time in office, Congress and much of the nation have gone Republican — statehouse after statehouse, governor after governor (soon to be 32) — an astounding feat when you consider that the GOP has become the Know-Nothing Party in all its meanings.
It’s not that Obama has lost his gift of eloquence. His problem is that he often has nothing to say. When he does, as after the mass murder in June at a Charleston, S.C., church, he can be moving and eloquent. It is on foreign policy particularly where he goes empty and cold. His policy, after all, is to avoid yet another Middle East quagmire. It entails the ringing call to do as little as possible.
Obama’s self-inflicted predicament was apparent in the statement he issued following the Paris terrorist attacks. Unlike many other mass killings, this one was broadcast in real time — unfolding on TV as it happened. It left the United States both shaken and horrified. Yet Obama spoke coldly, by rote — saying all the right things in the manner of a minister presiding at the funeral of a perfect stranger.
The president is capable of better, and indeed, after some criticism, he eventually did better. But he is a cautious man who fears his rhetoric running away from him. This happened once before, when he issued his “red line” warning to Syria — and then, upon consideration, said never mind. The result has been a foreign policy debacle in which the measure of Obama has been taken. He’s been bullied off the playground.
Obama’s dilemma is not just that he cannot find the words to articulate his policy. He cannot stick to his policy either. His initial reluctance to act in Libya faded when Moammar Gaddafi threatened to massacre his opposition and the French took the lead. His determination to stay out of Iraq collided with the threatened genocide of the Yazidis. Iraq fell apart, the Islamic State seemed to come out of nowhere. Americans were beheaded. Women were enslaved. No boots on the ground became some boots on the ground — and then some more and then some of them helped the Kurds and mixed it up with the Islamic State. Reality rebuts policy, which unravels by degree.
George W. Bush’s Iraq war was a lesson to us all. But from the start of the Syrian crisis, no one sane was proposing doing it all over again. Instead, the proposal was to intervene early and attempt to avoid the bloodbath and humanitarian calamity that have resulted. The idea was to do more than simply tell Bashar al-Assad to return to practicing ophthalmology in London and for the United States and its allies to take some action — such as grounding Assad’s helicopters. And when it came to the Islamic State, the proposal was to do more than make some initially inadequate bombing runs, but put spotters on the ground and train anti-Assad fighters who had a stake in the fighting. As it was, the United States managed to assemble an army of about half a dozen.
Obama is confined by the prospect of another Iraq. He defends his policy of minimalism with an off-putting petulance: “If folks want to pop off and have opinions . . . .” He talked of seeing at Walter Reed hospital “a 25-year-old kid who’s paralyzed or has lost his limbs. . . . And so I can’t afford to play some of the political games that others may.” Yes, some of the Republican presidential candidates are playing games, but Obama’s critics in think tanks and elsewhere are dead - serious. Besides, life presents mean choices. Limbs were lost in Paris, too.
To a large degree, Obama became president on the strength of his eloquence. To a large degree, that is what has deserted him. He is out of words because he is out of ideas. Consequently, he ought to listen to others. They’re not the ones who are popping off. He is.

There Are Two Sides to a 'Story'

Muslim Brotherhood his top advisor
Excerpt from his IPCC statement November 30, 2015
This summer I saw the effects of climate change first hand in Alaska, where the sea is already swallowing villages and eroding shorelines ... where glaciers are melting a a pace unprecedented in modern times.I was born near Ayersville, Ohio. I went to a church near there, which was located on a road called 'the south ridge'. The road is elevated above adjacent land. The adjacent land has a reddish hue, when it has been tilled, but the redness fades as the distance from the ridge increases. There are small rocks and debris in the red area.
It was a preview of one possible future: our children’s fate ...
That future is not one of strong economies, nor of one where fragile states can find their footing. That future is one we have the power to change. Right here. Right now.
There was once a glacier there, and as it melted and refroze, it would push up ridges.
I definitely believe that there was climate change. I doubt that the end result was harmful.
There was once a glacier, which is now productive farm land.

I was looking for the names of the Irving, Texas city council, who voted against a resolution to reject 'foreign law'.
I read that the names and addresses of Muslims...Breitbart.. in Irving, Texas had been published.
I did find the names of the Muslims. It is redacted, and the link to the names and addresses of the Muslims didn't work.
The leader of the protest: Facebook page.
BAIR has a Facebook page. It is an organization created by the Irving, Texas protest leader.
Update:
But the crowd repeatedly applauded and cheered at the remarks of council members who voted against the endorsement — John Danish, Allan Meagher, Joe Putnam and Dennis Webb.These are the four who voted in favor of the Muslims
