Watching the coverage of Obama at the G20 this weekend reminded me of his history of inappropriate giggles and flippancy when confronted with the economic struggles of our country (and the mountain of debt bedeviling the world).

One might expect the leader of the world’s greatest superpower to focus on ways to get our economic engine reignited and revved up again (and at the G20, one might even hope he would draw our fellow member nations into the process)…but the issue weighing most heavily on Obama’s mind was “there are lots of good golf courses up here, right?”

There is something wrong with Obama! His staff knows it (how can they not), and I hope they are merely protecting us by hiding the truth.

He doesn’t offer the wisdom of leadership. He doesn’t tell us that our struggles will make us strong. He doesn’t point to a courageous course of action and call to us, saying “this way folks…follow me and we will survive.”

To the contrary, he seems genuinely incapable of grasping who this nation is. He thinks that our citizens’ troubles are a laughing matter.

This old video is a perfect illustration of this Obama tic.  When Steve Kroft mentions to Obama that only a small minority (18%) of Americans favor the auto bailout, Obama does not offer a logical explanation of why it is the right thing to do…instead he simply emits a barrage of nervous giggles.

How strange!

Kroft wonders aloud if Obama isn’t “punch drunk”…and even asks him about it.

This video captures the essence of our president. In Nero-like fashion, he plays golf and parties while the nation’s troubles smolder unattended.

Is it that he just doesn’t care? Or is it that life has just been too easy for him and, hence, he never developed the tools needed to be effective in actual work and leadership? I guess we now know why, as President of the Harvard Law Review, he never published a single article…too much work!

I hope Israelis and American Jewish and Christian supporters of Israel listen carefully to what Caroline Glick is saying about Obama and his support for Hamas.

And keep in mind, Hamas is a terrorist organization! As recently as January 2010, Hamas was included on the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (see #13 on the list).

Here’s what Caroline had to say in today’s JPost…

Led by US President Barack Obama, the West has cast its lot with Hamas. It is not surprising that Obama is siding with Hamas. His close associates are leading members of the pro-Hamas Free Gaza outfit. Obama’s friends, former Weather Underground terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayres participated in a Free Gaza trip to Egypt in January. Their aim was to force the Egyptians to allow them into Gaza with 1,300 fellow Hamas supporters. Their mission was led by Code Pink leader and Obama fund-raiser Jodie Evans. Another leading member of Free Gaza is James Abourezk, a former US senator from South Dakota.

All of these people have open lines of communication not only to the Obama White House, but to Obama himself.

Obama has made his sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood clear several times since entering office. The Muslim Brotherhood’s progeny include Hamas, al-Qaida and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Last June, Obama infuriated the Egyptian government when he insisted on inviting leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood to attend his speech at Al Azhar University in Cairo. His administration’s decision to deport Hamas deserter and Israeli counterterror operative Mosab Hassan Yousef to the Palestinian Authority where he will be killed is the latest sign of its support for radical Islam.

It has been reported (here and here) that Bill Ayers and wife and Jodie Evans (an Obama bundler) helped organize the Free Gaza Movement and its Flotilla, but now it is being reported (here) that there is a link deep inside the White House (John Brennan, deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism is the person named).

We are looking for confirmation from other sources and will update this post at that time.

UPDATE: No additional news on this matter as of 6/14/2010 (for a developing story, this one is in slo-mo).
