Hey Barack, let’s blame the media, instead of you and Michelle taking some responsibility for your own actions. Maybe the public doesn’t like it when a potential first lady makes statements about America being mean, or not being proud of America until her husband is elected. Or, maybe it’s because you joined Barack in subjecting your small children to the likes of Anti-American racist Jeremiah Wright throughout their entire childhood.

This is an excellent article.
To be fair to Obama, if he DID know what was going on and had a workable detailed plan for Iraq, the American people are so childish and simplistic and stuck in their ways that a plan that took into account all of the complexities would, if disclosed now, be ridiculed and would reduce Obama’s ability to win the election, something that is already difficult due to his complete lack of any qualifications for the job, his associations, his unlikeable wife, the fact he went to mosque in Indonesia, etcetera. Imagine if Obama was completely honest and said, “I was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia, was later an atheist, then at age 26 I realized that my presidential chances would be zero unless I joined a Christian church, so I found one I was most comfortable with. I carefully considered my words on the Iraq War over the years and my votes with an eye to giving myself an out if the war should succeed and become popular, or if it should fail and become an albatross around the neck of its supporters. As it turns out, I was lucky because it failed, and the media protected me from my contradictory statements.” Do you really think he would be the nominee if he had said this?
In 2001, Bush DID NOT say, “I’m about as qualified for the presidency as a pile of bricks. If my daddy hadn’t been president and erased my arrest record and paid off or threatened various witnesses, and if the media hadn’t protected me from scrutiny and relentlessly mocked Al Gore in 2000, I wouldn’t have gotten close enough for Jeb and Katherine Harris to steal it for me. And Cheney told me there was going to be a terrorist attack in September, and we were gonna let it happen, and I said OK, but I was thinking maybe an Oklahoma City type deal. Not a huge attack like that. I was surprised while I was reading that goat book and they told me 2 jets hit those towers. But Cheney and Karl was right, after that I could get away with anything. It turned out good.” Bush was not about to tell the truth, and neither is Obama.
I’m not saying that Obama is a criminal freak like Bush. I am saying that he is a mystery man who, like Bush in 2000, has received little real scrutiny. We DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE WILL DO IF HE MAKES IT. So much for informed democracy. Roll the dice and hope is more like it.

Hope and Change. Aggressive diplomacy means “hoping our enemies will change” and not much else.

Winston Churchill had it right: Given the choice between War and Dishonor, they chose Dishonor. They will have War.

We will have war. Our Adversaries haven’t given up.

@mishu

“aggressive diplomacy”, I believe, means he’ll speak to them about hope and change but he’ll be really, really charming. Surely there’s no flaw in that plan…

Barrack Obama said the threat from Iran is “tiny”, then a few days later described it as “grave”. He promised to meet the Iranian president in the first year of his presidencey, then claimed he never said such a thing. There is a candidate suffering from senility here, no doubt.

Diplomacy with North Korea hasn’t stopped them from their nuclear ambitions, much less (reportedly) aiding Syria in building nuclear facilities. North Koreans still live on tree barks and stray dogs that cross their path.

Barrack Obama may even resurrect South Korea’s incredibly stupid “Sunshine Policy” towards their commie neighbors that failed to achieve anything in the long run. Americans, vote against this man.

Here is the definitive word on change from the great philosopher Smokey Robinson:

“Ain’t nothing so bad it can’t get worse…”

Let’s hope we don’t get an object lesson in this concept by way of an Obama administration.

What did you expect? Did you think you could let people like Bill Ayers and Angela Davis take over education in America and still have an intelligent electorate after grinding two or three generations through the mill?

Neglect of the intellectual, emotional, and ethical development of your children has results in the real world. You will pay.
