#HASHTAG - POLITICALLY CUTE BUT USELESS

Is it a sign of the times that celebrities, the first lady, and regular folks think that posting their picture and an appealing message on FB or Twitter can somehow make anything happen ?

Has our military might or intelligence community been rendered so lame that swift secret moves cannot rescue a group of young girls held by terrorists ? When it comes to bold leadership where is Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John Kerry ?

Our recent history of foreign affairs has been terrible. Syria continues to slaughter it's people, the wanton murder of Americans in Benghazi remains a crime lacking accountability,  Putin grabs new territory at will, and China dominates the world's economic good news. All the while our foreign ministers log millions of air miles and Obama spews forth stirring speeches, but it's all hollow words and wasted efforts. Nothing is happening to cool the world's hot spots, and yes it is in our best interests to quell violence and disorder all over the planet. There is a reason our nation has been blessed with great natural resources, a strong military, and a population of caring individuals and it is to play a significant role in world affairs. No other world nation has the power, resources, and compassion to make a difference.

The reign of Obama has been a disaster for America on the domestic and international fronts. He consistently demonstrates a lack of leadership, resolve or desire to get significant things done. He has wasted his presidency on a schedule of socialists schemes which will collapse in  a few years. Now, many luminaries are reduced to pathetic and empty gestures on Facebook or Twitter to reverse the evil of bad men committing unspeakable acts of horror in the name of Allah. We should not be ashamed or cower from our role as the world's superpower. We need better leaders willing to use America's power and resources to help our world neighbors.

America as a leader in world affairs is not an option it is a responsibility.
