    Setting the partisan intrigues aside concerning this state dinner, it’s our “Imperial Presidency” that chaffs my hide.

    While millions of Americans are unemployed and truly suffering this T-Day we have this pompous bunch of elected parasites including those of India and hangers on dining on the U.S. tax debtors dime and time.

    The administration is sucking up to India, a neutral nuclear club nation in order to hopefully offset any escalations due to our infernal interference with Pakistan who’s just about had a bellyful of the U.S. along with their long term adversary India.

    It’s not improbable or impossible that India and Pakistan go “hot” with a nuclear exchange. Truly an ugly scenario, but quite possible. Pakistan and India are mutually obsessed with each nation’s hopeful demise over their long fought contentious differences over Kashmir.

    I’m supplying a Wiki link so folks can have a quick reference to this longstanding complex debacle.

    If Pakistan soon has a bellyful of being treated like the “red haired stepchild” concerning their long term relations with the U.S. vs. India, then possibly all hell will break loose. This possible scenario is called “regional based nuclear war” that could quickly escalate to that of a strategic level if China and the Ruskies get itchy with their nuclear trigger fingers.

    Obama and Co. are now moving into a zone of dangerous brinksmanship that just might literally blow up in their faces. We truly have “amateurs” running this nation, all highly educated and well-connected, but simply don’t have the right stuff when it comes to putting all the pieces of this complex puzzle together, then acting in a responsible, stabilizing fashion.

    I don’t feel well about this development. : |
