Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely

Obama reminds me of High Ridge in Weber’s Honor Harrington. Except less competent and smart. Amazingly lazier too.

All that wealth and he is reduced to huddling in the cold, in a cell of his own making, watching videos of his glory days.
It is easy to discount him – but bear in mind that while he is living like this, he is extraordinarily focused – and that is how he was able to come up with such simple ways around our protections – no bombs, use the planes as bombs, frequent flyer miles for his killers, so that they escape scrutiny, so simple, and yet so effective.
He has time to think it through. watching himself is just part of the focus, like a way to break writer’s block.

OBL watching himself on TV reminds me of someone who gave the queen of the UK an iPod loaded with his own speeches.

We go to Iraq and Bush is excoriated over the lack of active WMD. We go to Bin Laden’s compound and find, not a dangerous terrorist, but a pitiful figure who appears to be an aging actor watching old movies of himself. The left goes ape-shit that their savior has neutralized the world’s most dangerous man. I argue that UBL has always been a complete p$^%y-he’s the “you and him fight” type. I believe he rejoiced when the planes hit the buildings, but when the buildings unexpectedly imploded, his next words were probably, “OH SHIT!”
He’s then off into the mountains running like a weasel carrying a rifle that future videos will show, that he doesn’t know how to shoot or even handle correctly. With the capture of this cretin, who could have as easily be lassoed instead of shot, the left thinks that the war against terror (if it ever existed) is over and we can get plowing that bloated military budget into some midnight basketball programs.

What a crappy place Osama lived in. I’ve seen much nicer and cleaner houses in the slums of Mexico, Venezuela, and Trinidad. It isn’t much better than Saddam Hussein’s “spidy hole”.
What a pig and slob.

People are missing something basic: he’s got children running wild all over the place — and can’t DARE use outside labor to clean up after them.
The few adult females are fulsomely involved in food prep.
The few adult males are completely involved in warrioring.
So the result is a lord-of-the-flies rule by tyke.
Had he kept a clean house — he’d be long dead by now.

“Had he kept a clean house — he’d be long dead by now.”
And that would have been just fine by me.

…plus who sired those wild kids and who placed them in a situation where they couldn’t be brought up properly?

Meanwhile, the muslims are burning churches in Cairo. So much for the “new Egypt”: another caldron of hatred.
The Coptic Christians are hopelessly outnumbered.
From the churches in the West? Silence. Shameful, horrifying.

“Meanwhile, the muslims are burning churches in Cairo”
From the beginning (Tehran 1979 to the Beirut barracks bombing in 1983 to the first WTC attack in 1993) I have considered this to be a war of civilizations. All the academicians and politicians have been telling me otherwise, but simpleton that I might be, it still looks that way to me.
