\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, well, well, look at this. Look at this. Apparently Obama has heard all of the criticism from his friends, which we chronicled here in the first hour, all of these Council on Foreign Relations types. These current, former diplomats, all of them leftists, openly writing of Obama\u2019s incompetence, suggesting that he needs to broom his entire foreign policy national security team and there\u2019s nobody in there qualified, this is an embarrassment, and they\u2019re worried about the security of the country. This is Leslie Gelb and this guy named Jim Patterso<\/a>n, and there are gonna be more piling on. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re literally writing that they believe Obama is so in over his head, he doesn\u2019t have the slightest clue about American foreign policy. I still don\u2019t think these people are ever gonna get it. And if they do, they\u2019re never gonna admit it. He\u2019s not incompetent. That\u2019s the thing. He is not in. This guy may be, in fact, one of the most skilled con men that\u2019s ever come down the pike, one of the most accomplished, astute con men ever. <\/line><\/p>\n

The idea that Obama\u2019s incompetent? You have to purposely make the decisions he\u2019s making. It\u2019s not that you don\u2019t know the right thing to do. These are conscious decisions. It was a conscious decision to snub that event in France. It\u2019s a conscious decision to legalize, formalize relationships with countries that have been traditionally enemies of this country, such as Cuba, who knows who else. It isn\u2019t incompetence. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how long it\u2019s gonna take his buddies on the left to get there, but right now they\u2019re stuck on the idea, “My God, we really fell for this guy.” They thought he spoke well, he was sophisticated, he was articulate, but man, he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. He needs to fire everybody. He needs to replace Valerie Jarrett, everybody in his apparatus, security and foreign policy, just needs to broom \u2019em. And these people suggesting this are not insignificant. <\/p>\n

Now, there could be some politics going on. I mean, Leslie Gelb, politically, would Leslie Gelb be inclined to support Hillary? Well, he\u2019d be inclined to support whoever the Democrat nominee is. Okay, so if it\u2019s her, yeah, he\u2019ll supoort. But at this stage would Gelb think that it would be helpful to start ripping into Obama as a neophyte and an incompetent as a means of shielding Hillary from any association with this, and therefore any tarnish, as her presidential campaign begins. And that\u2019s a possibility. <\/p>\n

But in reading what these guys are writing, I don\u2019t doubt them. I think they\u2019re genuinely worried. I think they\u2019re genuinely scared. And I think they really do think we\u2019ve got a knucklehead in charge that doesn\u2019t know what to do and doesn\u2019t take it all seriously. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case at all. I think it\u2019s all happening by design. It\u2019s all happening on purpose. I don\u2019t see how it cannot be. <\/p>\n
