In the latest sign that the White House is out of touch with reality, press secretary Josh Earnest (wait – isn’t that name oxymoronic?) said Monday that Barack Obama has brought tranquility to the world. Yeah, really.

I think that there have been a number of situations in which you’ve seen this administration intervene in a meaningful way that has substantially furthered American interests and substantially improved the tranquility of the global community.

Huh? So, just exactly how has Obama gone about bringing “tranquility” to the world, you ask? In his own words: “Don’t do stupid sh*t.” With that thought in mind, let’s revisit 10 global events and see how well they pass the smell test:

1. Obama Draws Red Line On Syrian Use Of Chemical Weapons; Does Nothing When Assad Gases His Own People

2. Russia Annexes Crimea; Obama Slaps Sanctions On Putin’s Pals

3. U.S. Border Out of Control As Thousands Pour Into Country; Obama Asks For Billions To House Them

4. North Korea Tests Nuclear Weapon, Rockets; Responds To Obama’s Threats By Calling Him Names

5. Obama Unilaterally Lifts Sanctions On Iran; Mullahs Continue Pursuit Of Nuclear Weapons

6. Terrorists ‘On The Run’ In Libya Kill U.S. Ambassador, Three Other Americans In Benghazi

7. Obama Suspends U.S. Aid To Egypt After Ouster Of Muslim Brotherhood; Russia Now Supplying Military Hardware To Egypt

8. Obama Releases ‘Taliban-5′ Dream Team In Exchange For Army Deserter Bowe Bergdahl

9. Germany Expels Top U.S. Intel Official Over NSA Spying Scandal

10. Obama’s Abrupt Withdrawal From Iraq Leads To Rise Of Muslim Extremism, Creation Of Islamic State
