Forgetting the Parable of the Scorpion…They pander and walk on egg shells, ever so careful not to affect Muslim “sensibilities” (while trampling roughshod over everyone else’s) and then sit back in wide-eyed, befuddled wonderment as Muslims turn on their benefactors.
And again.
Both domestically and internationally, this President has screwed up EVERYTHING!
On the international front, his attempt to appease and open up a “new dialogue” with the Middle East, beginning with his Cairo speech, has backfired big time and only served to perpetuate the image of America as a “paper tiger”. Obama has been terribly inconsistent with his foreign policy and has never consistently conveyed American principles. On one hand he allows the military to kill UBL, and green lights drone strikes on other suspected terrorists, but on the other hand, he refuses to stand strong against the Muslim Brotherhood, Assad and Ahmadinejad, bows to Saudi Kings, and withdraws support from Arab allies like Mubarek and King Hussein in Jordan. His mixed messages has everyone confused and creates a perception of incompetence and weakness and we all know that Islamists prey on weakness, and unfortunately we are seeing the results of that now with the slaughter of our Libyan Ambassador and the other three Americans. This current ME uprising is terribly reminiscent of Tehran in 1979, and I believe the voters will act in kind come November.
On the domestic front, we all know too well the agony of his economic policies, and he has NO PLAN, other than the same going forward. His most recent budgets called for trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye could see, and did not receive even one single vote from any member of his own party. There is no better example of failed leadership. The most recent jobs report showed that for every person that did find a job, four people simply gave up and this is just unacceptable. We can do so much better. Some question whether or not we can afford four more years of this failed President. I assert that we can’t afford four more months. For the sake of this nation, I call for him to resign effective immediately.
Here are some of the things we have learned in the past day.
Obama has apparently skipped intelligence briefings for the past week. A rather bizarre thing for the days leading up to the anniversary of September 11th.
Despite threats, the U.S. consulate in Libya was not guarded by U.S. Military.
The attacks appeared to be well coordinated and planned for the 9/11 anniversary.
Yet, somehow, the media has tried to turn this situation into a negative for Romney. Their efforts to do so turned to be as well coordinated as the attacks in Egypt and Cairo appeared to be.
Amazing isn’t it? Since Obama’s convention we’ve had an abysmal jobs report come out, a teachers’ strike in Obama’s hometown of Chicago and now this. Obama has had a rather terrible week, resulting from his bad policies, lack of leadership, inexperience and incompetence, and the media does everything it can to not hold him accountable.v
The recent events in Egypt and Libya can only be considered as another direct attack on America, and again, our President is leading from behind. New revelations today support the notion that Obama is detached and out of his depth, as is his team around him, and his minions in the media. First of all we had the press release from the US Embassy in Egypt which was evidently not approved of by the White House as they distanced themselves in the beginning but then ultimately supported. However, considering that the press release is essentially an apology for our First Amendment rights, the White House should have disowned it, but needless to say, it’s obvious there is little coordination from the top. Secondly, it’s reported that the crowd was chanting “hey Obama, we are all Osama’s” which may be a direct condemnation of the reckless manner in which Obama and Biden constantly boast of killing OBL, like some school yard children would do. It was also learned today that the detached President hasn’t attended a PDB in the last week or so, and maybe had he attended those meetings, he may of learned of some of this in advance.
The Arab Spring has turned out to be a nightmare, and with Egypt getting more and more confident, Israel is starting to feel the heat, so what does Obama do? He tells Bibi Netanyahu that he doesn’t have the time to meet with him. He does have time however for Letterman and Beyonce, but not for one of our most trusted allies. How’s that for leadership? Folks, four Americans have been killed as a result of a muddled and apologetic foreign policy on behalf of our President and this is unacceptable. We deserve better.
From Navy Times:
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above.
These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.
“The ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. “There’s no question of that in my mind.”
Naval experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that were overflown by what appear to be U.S. trainer jets. It remains unclear how or why the Democratic Party used what’s believed to be images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their convention…
I don’t blame the admiral – he probably didn’t know what was being flashed behind him. But what is it with our Democrats? Don’t they have anyone with enough military experience to differentiate between US and foreign warships? Go look up pictures of, say, as USN cruiser and compare it to a Russian – they are remarkably different in appearance. Though I guess the fact that both are painted gray and have all sorts of weapony looking fighting thingies on them can cause some confusion…
As I said earlier, I had written a post to commemorate the 9/11 attacks but I got so bitter about how low we’ve fallen that I deleted it – the day is not fit for such things. Until now. Here’s the story from al Jazeera:
Thousands of Egyptian demonstrators have torn down the Stars and Stripes at the US embassy in Cairo and replaced it with an Islamic flag on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks in the US.
Nearly 3,000 demonstrators, most of them Islamist supporters of the Salafist movement or football fans, gathered on Tuesday at the embassy in protest over an amateur film deemed offensive to the Prophet Muhammad which was produced by expatriate members of Egypt’s Christian minority resident in the US…
So, because a film was made by someone in the United States a mob of Islamists seized our embassy in Cairo – but that’s not all; a similar mob in Libya sacked our consulate and, it seems, killed one American official while doing it. That, of course, is enough to outrage an American patriot – but it gets worse. Here’s the official, US response to the taking of our Cairo embassy:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
That is the whole thing. Nothing about condemning the Islamists. Oh, no. We’re far too chickenshit to do that. Our government under Obama knows precisely what it has to do – crawl on its knees to its Muslim masters! We’re apologizing to these dirty-necked barbarians because they got mad over a film made in the one-time land of the free and home of the brave. 11 years after beasts massacred 3,000 of us we’ve learned our lesson.
I am just disgusted. And, liberals, I entirely blame you. Oh, don’t you try to weasel out of this – don’t you even dare. It is your man Obama running the show. He’s the one who apologized for all that we did from 2001 to 2009. He was the one who was going to get these savages to love us by showing understanding and kindness. And you cheered him on. You liberals said we were wrong to fight them; wrong to rendition them; wrong to waterboard them. We’re doing it your way, now – and look what it gets us. You think the cringing, spineless apology from our embassy will stop them now? Bloody fools – weakness to barbarians just encourages the barbarians to attack.
Oh, for just an hour of the spirit of Godfrey of Bouillon! Someone who will do what needs to be done – drive a sword through these people as far as it will go until they learn that you don’t attack us, ever.
UPDATE: Hopefully on January 20th we’ll be able to stop cringing. Romney’s statement:
I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.
Team Obama is now busily trying to walk back the craven statement from the embassy but its too late for that. Everything Obama has done since 2009 is encapsulated in that statement – its his embassy under his direction and they clearly did what they thought was in line with Obama Administration policy.
UPDATE II: Fury is growing over this disgraceful act by our government – especially as the linked article shows that its even worse than we thought, what with embassy officials apparently “tweeting” craven statements to Islamists over this incident.
UPDATE III: Sarah Palin’s statement:
…It’s about time our president stood up for America and condemned these Islamic extremists. I realize there must be a lot on his mind these days – what with our economy’s abysmal jobless numbers and Moody’s new warning about yet another downgrade to our nation’s credit rating due to the current administration’s failure to come up with a credible deficit reduction plan. And, of course, he has a busy schedule – with all those rounds of golf, softball interviews with the “Pimp with the Limp,” and fundraising dinners with his corporate cronies. But our nation’s security should be of utmost importance to our Commander-in-chief. America can’t afford any more “leading from behind” in such a dangerous world. We already know that President Obama likes to “speak softly” to our enemies. If he doesn’t have a “big stick” to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one.
I had written a piece, but I think my bitterness at the betrayal of the spirit of 9/11 came through too strongly. Please discuss this freely.
The unemployment report on Friday was absolute proof of obAMATEUR’s failure as pResident to help our nation recover. Millions of people remain unemployed or under employed and millions more have simply given up. Specifics? This list breaks down how bad things truly are under the obAMATEUR’s “Recovery” (in name only).
UPDATE (since whiny proggy drones refuse to refute facts but nitpick at sources): Hat tip: Neal Boortz, VERIFIED WITH: BLS, LA Times, ABC News, TIAA Cref, Census Bureau, Forbes – to name a few. These pathetic facts along with raising taxes on all incomes for obAMACARE, increased food prices due to the drought and increased fuel costs (another obAMATEUR failure), faster rising (rising faster than it would have without obAMACARE) healthcare and premium costs due to obAMACARE and more people on Welfare and receiving food stamps than ever before. obAMATEUR maintains that Americans are better off than they were four years ago (with little explanation).
It is no wonder obAMATEUR deflects the campaign to Romney’s tax records and other such attacks. The man has no positive record on which to run.
These drones believe that I would put up FACTS that have not been verified? They are in for extreme disappointment. This is a DISCUSSION BLOG now refute the FACTS or STFU. – Rico you have used this cowardly dodge before.
Public unions are bankrupting our municipalities and they honestly don’t seem to care. The teachers union in Chicago are some of the highest paid teachers in the country at an average of $76,000 a year before benefits, and they just walked out on a a nearly 16% pay increase over 4 years, choosing to go on strike and leaving kids and parents in a bind. They don’t give a damn about educating our children, and I hope Rahm Emmanuel sticks to his position. If he doesn’t, Chicago and many other municipalities will wind up like San Bernardino, CA, which has had to declare bankruptcy largely due to a bloated government wherein an estimated 71% of the city’s budget goes toward servicing the public union pension. This is insane, and the entire nation needs to follow Gov. Scott Walker’s lead for the sake of the tax payer, because we can not count on Obama or the Democrats to take a responsible position on this issue. They have already abandoned FDR’s position on this issue.
And in keeping with the public union assault on tax payers, private unions are also on the march. The Democrat line that Obama saved GM is a lie, which most rational people have known for a long time, and now the general public is starting to realize. Aside from the private bond holders, and the non union Delphi employees getting screwed, the bail out only served to support the UAW wages and pensions. We also now learn that tax payers were losing $47,000 on every Chevy Volt sold, which is now out of production completely, and GM still owes tax payers an estimated $42 billion, so if this is what the Democrats and Obama consider to be “saving” GM, I would prefer that they stop saving any more industries.
We have to rein in union demands, both public and private, and that begins with voting their aiders and abettors out of office come November.
