“If our August political ‘leaders’ were attempting to execute a plan to destroy the country … I would judge their effort so far to be brilliant.”

No “if” about it, that’s exactly what Obama is trying to do, and brilliantly, as you say.

Also, his “outreach to terrorist sponsoring despotic governments” isn’t out of “naivete” at all, but born of pure savvy, cold, calculated, and it’s outright criminal.
