Making the case against the failed policies of Obama:
A top US Republican lawmaker on Tuesday made a sweeping election-year attack on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy, blasting a landmark nuclear cuts treaty with Russia and efforts to engage Iran.
With six months before November mid-term elections, Representative Eric Cantor urged US voters to back Republicans at “a pivotal time for America to restore its credibility by pursuing peace through strength.”
“That’s why conservatives must win in 2010. And when we retake Congress we will stand with defense-minded Democrats to stop the hemorrhaging of America’s defenses,” said Cantor, the number two House of Representatives Republican.
Engaging Iran has proven a dismal failure. The arms agreement with Russia is a pointless throwback to Cold War times. In all of his actions, President Obama seems to have a desire to pick up with Carter left off – with a weaker America and our enemies encouraged.
While we cannot change foreign policy until we change Presidents, a Republican Congress can act a brake upon Administration policies. We can force them to keep America a bit stronger and make it less likely that they’ll construct asinine agreements with our enemies. America is now under as much a threat as we were in 1980 – we’ve undone 30 years of bi-partisan foreign and defense policy which had restored America to its pre-eminent position.
We can restore America, and the first step is to be taken on November 2nd.
