Is It Obama's Incompetence or Intentional Destruction of Nation

[From article]
People who are questioning the president's competence seem not to want to believe that any President of the United States would knowingly damage this country's interests.
One of the problems of many fundamentally decent people is that they find it hard to understand people who are not fundamentally decent, or whose moral compass points in a different direction from theirs.
Many people who are painfully disappointed with President Obama have no real reason to be. The man's whole previous history, from childhood on, was shaped by a whole series of people, beginning with his mother, whose vision of America was very much like that of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose church Barack Obama belonged to for 20 long years.
[. . .]
Even if the Reverend Wright had been the only such person in Barack Obama's life — and he was not — it should have been enough to keep him out of the White House.
[. . .]
Many wise and decent people assume automatically that President Obama was trying to serve the interests of America.
[. . .]
Who can say that he has failed, when the fundamental institutions of this country have been successfully and perhaps irretrievably undermined, and when the positions of America and its allies on the world stage have been similarly, and even more dangerously, undermined around the world?
