No Fourth Term For Barack Obama

NBC News reported earlier this week that it was Barack Obama who had been one of the main actors in formulating the policy that went into the Biden executive order on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This executive order has worried many onlookers because its language hints at the possibility of government clampdowns on speech and the enforcement of critical race theory. Assistant Commerce Secretary for Communications and Information Alan Davidson earlier this year said that the goal of AI regulation would include stopping misinformation, disinformation, or other misleading content. And in the NBC News report we read that part of Obama s approach was to urge industry leaders to consider risks beyond national security, including information integrity, bias and discrimination.

At the end of the week, a snippet of an interview with the Pod Save America podcast was released (the full interview will come out on Tuesday) in which Obama sonorously intoned how though Hamas s actions were horrific, nonetheless the occupation and what s happening to Palestinians are unbearable. Urging Americans to see the complexity in the situation, he spoke about how all, including himself, are complicit in this and spoke about the difficult way forward.

It was classic Obama. Still speaking in the NPR voice that made his New Left radicalism sound calming and moderate, he is always capable of sounding profound and intellectual while not actually revealing what he s doing. But let s give him credit with that bit about being complicit. If he was trying to dissolve his own responsibility for the horrific actions of the last month by making it about we all, he was at least willing to take a little on himself. Boy, does he bear responsibility.

 It was the terrible Iran deal done while he was in office $1.4 billion handed over in the hopes of balancing the Middle East that is now coming back to haunt him. It was the kid gloves he used with the Palestinians, releasing $221 million at the end of his presidency to the Palestinian Authority even though there was no evidence they had reformed the corruption, incitement of violence, and payment of terrorists that had caused a group in Congress to hold up the money. It was his own penchant for using bombs all over the Middle East. It makes one want to respond to him, using his own particular phraseology, You built this!
