How Does Obama Compare To Roosevelt?

Could We Have Beaten The Nazis With Obama As President?

Hello. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty.

What if Barack Obama had been president during World War II? Could we have beaten Adolf Hitler and the Nazis? I think it’s clear we would all be speaking German right about now.

There is no way anyone can make the case that Obama would have gone after both Germany and Japan with the tenacity of a Franklin D. Roosevelt. I may not have agreed with FDR’s economic policies; but when it came to war, the man in the wheelchair was a lion, not a shrinking violet or peacenik. He understood how to win a war; there were no rules for FDR (or for Harry Truman).

We killed who had to be killed. We firebombed. We used flamethrowers to kill Japanese suicide bombers hiding in caves on Okinawa. We didn’t cry or suffer nervous breakdowns over unintended civilian deaths, i.e., collateral damage. We didn’t put lawyers in charge of military decisions. And in the end, to protect American lives, we even dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese.

The only goal of Presidents in those days: to protect American lives. We dropped atomic bombs — a horrific decision — to save American men from having to die in an invasion of Japan. Americans cheered that decision in those days. That decision might have saved my father’s life. (He was stationed in the Pacific waiting for the invasion of Japan.) But would Obama or any Democrat make that decision today? No way.

And don’t forget the leadership and teamwork involved. To win World War II, we built a coalition of like-minded allies willing to sacrifice and risk everything and to do anything to win — not a coalition of lawyers and pacifists, but a coalition willing to kill evil people. We even teamed with Josef Stalin to defeat the Nazis. It was do or die. That’s the way you fight wars.

None of that could happen today under Obama. He just doesn’t have it. Killer instinct? He can’t even take off a round of golf. Obama plays golf while ISIS kills thousands per day. He plays golf after announcing beheadings of Americans. He goes to “sleepy sleep” while our embassy in Libya is under vicious terrorist attack. He goes to fundraisers in Vegas hours after a national tragedy (our four heroes killed in Benghazi, Libya). He goes to Washington, D.C. film festivals while Russia attacks Ukraine. He goes on vacations while the world — the Middle East and Ferguson, Missouri — burns.

Our commander in chief even tries to order our great ally Israel to stand down while Hamas fires missiles at its citizens. He does nothing to stop Iran from building a nuclear bomb. He laughed when Mitt Romney called Russia our biggest threat and said: “The 80s are calling. They want their decade back.” Now, Russian President Vladimir Putin is laughing and mocking Obama as he restarts the Cold War and threatens to retake the entire Eastern Europe. Obama is like a fly on the tail of Russia — annoying but, in the end, meaningless. No enemy of America cares about anything Obama says. No one fears America under Obama. We’ve become neutered.

This is a combination of madness and comedy. Obama is a “Saturday Night Live” skit.

Obama could never have led the allies to victory in World War II. The reason that’s important is that World War III may have already started.

How would we know? Who announces the start of a world war? History books will assign that date 20 years from now. But you don’t know it when you’re living it.

I don’t know if World War III has already started or if the events that will set it off are smoldering right now across the globe. I don’t know if World War III will be fought between America and Russia or China or Iran or ISIS — or perhaps all of them, in a final battle of good versus evil.

But I do know that our Southern border is wide open. I know thousands of illegal foreigners are coming across every week. I know our enemies are smart and ruthless. I know they know Obama has left our border wide open. I’ve warned for months that radical Muslim terrorist cells are walking unmolested into our country. And they are here to attack America. I know our president refuses to do a thing. And by any definition, that is either dereliction of duty or treason.

Any day, we could fall victim to another 9/11-style terrorist attack. And it’s clear Obama doesn’t care. He won’t even visit the border. Obama’s Democratic friends just indicted the only governor willing to send troops to the border: Texas Governor Rick Perry. Something is very wrong and very rancid in America.

It’s clear that Obama could never have beaten Hitler. And he won’t beat Putin or ISIS either. Our enemies know his, too.

Here’s what anyone who isn’t blind, deaf or dumb can see and feel in his heart and in his gut. I know Israel is in grave jeopardy with Obama in charge. I know Eastern Europe is in grave danger with Obama in charge. I know Putin is making plans to further test our will at this moment because bullies are always emboldened by weakness. They keep pushing; and if no one pushes back, they take it all. See Hitler.

I know China’s Navy is going to soon be bigger than ours, and China has plans to use it. I know our military is in disarray, depression and poor morale. I know many of our generals and the majors beneath them — our entire military leadership — have been fired by this president over politics. I know our military forces have been cut dramatically at the very moment we need them at full strength.

Worst of all, I know ISIS is here on American soil right now. Something very bad is about to happen. Anyone can see and feel that.

“Houston, we have a problem — a big problem.” His name is Obama. This isn’t some joke. This is our country, our children’s future and our lives on the line. And it’s not looking good. If I were betting in Vegas on the survival of America, I’d bet the under.

Whether what walks over our wide-open border leads to poverty and the bankruptcy of America or a devastating Ebola pandemic or a massive 9/11-like terrorist attack.

Whether World War III may have already started with Russia or ISIS or China or all of the above plotting to destroy America or whether we are days away from the terrorist attack that sets it all in motion. It doesn’t really matter. It’s clear we are headed for very bad times that will test our will, threaten our lives and leave our children’s future in doubt.

We have decisions to make if we want America to survive. We have to decide if our president is incompetent or mentally ill. Or if he’s delusional and really believes all the answers to the many crises facing America are found on a golf course, or at a Democratic fundraiser. Or whether this is treason.

Republican leaders are going to have to do more than talk or whisper in the halls of Congress. Someone is going to have to take action to remove our president of his command because I know we aren’t going to make it with Obama in charge for two more years.
