I've always believed that one of the primary functions of our government is to protect its citizens; that means to protect you and me from war, from disease, from poverty and from oppression. When you fail at doing these things for any reason, you are a failed government leader regardless of what your status is among the bureaucratic largess.
If you have problems with crime or domestic terrorism, you don't take away guns from law-abiding citizens; you encourage them and facilitate their possession and training in the use of guns. If a country has a deadly and contagious disease, you do not invite the afflicted into this country which doesn't have such a plague; you don't increase the possibility that citizens could contract the disease. If deadly terrorists are running around threatening to destroy the American way of life and actually beheading people to prove their intentions, you don't treat the matter as if you were in a tuxedo and picking up dog shit; you expend whatever ammunition you have and whatever effort it takes to put an end to the threat, permanently.
These are the simple duties of a government and its representatives; yet, simple as they may be, our President and his Democratic lackeys in Congress have failed miserably at the task. Plainly speaking, it's leadership like this that got Custer into trouble at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. You are supposed to hire good people to be around you, listen to their advice and act proactively to stem off the threats of massacre before people start dying.
That this President and his self-absorbed cohorts would stoop so low as to put their political interests ahead of their within stated obligations to the country is beyond shameful. They're all trick, and definitely no treat.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
