On The Job Training For The Anti-American President

Obama's anniversary gift to Russia...
President Obama is making so many foreign-policy blunders that he is starting to make us yearn for the national-security acumen of the Carter administration. His official announcement scrapping the planned missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic was long expected but still landed with a thud. It is hard to remember a strategic choice that is so obviously wrong on so many levels. The Kremlin is delighted. Read More...

The White House picked an auspicious day to wave the white flag on missile defense. The president's national-security team may say they didn't notice that the announcement came on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, but everyone in Eastern Europe did. For an administration whose claims of heightened cultural sensitivity border on sanctimony, the timing was an unforgivable faux pas. The anniversary gift compounds the message that Washington is bent on courting Moscow regardless of the broader implications for global security.

Subverting Honduran democracy...
The shameful siege of Honduras continues. In the past few weeks, the United States has cut more than $30 million in non-humanitarian aid, suspended most visa services and sided with Venezuela, Cuba and other of Latin America's worst dictatorships in undermining democracy. Meanwhile, the people of Honduras are desperately trying to maintain their freedom and prevent the return of a regime that Washington is committed to forcing down their throats.

The United States rushed to the wrong side of this issue when former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was ousted on June 28, and since then it has reinforced a bad policy. Rather than seek means of mitigating the crisis, the United States clings obdurately to demands that Mr. Zelaya be returned to power. Read more...

Obama sides with Castro, Chavez of Venezuela, and Zelaya on the future of Honduras. Not so much inexperience, as is communist agenda. Right under our noses.

Cut and Run? Obama goes wobbly on Afghanistan...

It astonishes us how quickly Afghanistan is moving from being a "war of necessity" to "too tough to do." President Obama's comments over the weekend gave the clearest signal yet that his administration is seeking an exit strategy from a conflict he described in August as "not only a war worth fighting" but "fundamental to the defense of our people." Commitment to that fundamental defense is eroding.

The president is being foiled by complex terrain, by which we mean the Congress. The Democratic leadership has indicated it would not look favorably on requests for more troops, which most analysts believe are necessary to stabilize the situation. Read more on Afghanistan...

Obama hardly remembers who A.C.O.R.N. is...
In an interview over the weekend the President was asked whether he supports withdrawing funds and an investigation into the criminal organization. He replied he was unaware there was a problem with A.C.O.R.N. nor did he know they were receiving Federal funding. What?!! The sad thing is there is a certain portion of the population which will believe this fantasy.

Obama has the weakest foreign-policy record of any new U.S. president in recent memory. An around-the-world tour of international hot spots shows that for all the president's lofty rhetoric, he can point to precious few accomplishments. Read more...

If our Congress had anymore integrity than the presumed President, it would be working on the same result Honduras had to deal with Zelaya. {2010}

Obama Stands With Tyrants



Dictators and demagogues can rest easy on President Obama's watch. When thousands of Iranians flooded the streets of Tehran protesting a rigged election and were beaten and shot down by pro-regime thugs, the president bided his time before making a series of noncommittal statements. He seemed to hope it would all just go away. However, when a socialist demagogue was ejected unceremoniously from Honduras on Sunday by his own government for trying to establish a presidency for life, Mr. Obama instantly sprang to his defense.

What happened in Honduras was not a military coup. Honduras has a civilian president, Roberto Micheletti, a member of former President Manuel Zelaya's own Liberal Party, who was elevated to the post after Mr. Zelaya was removed. The army did not seize power, but acted as the elected government's instrument in ousting Mr. Zelaya, who was well on his way to subverting the Honduran constitution and erecting a dictatorship. Read full story by James S Robbins / Washington Times.

Last night, a friend of mine who lives in Honduras asked me to pray for her people as they would be going out into the streets tomorrow protesting the return of Zelaya to their country. As she made the request to me I was taken by a feeling of shame. I had to realize it was our presumed President Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, who was mostly responsible for Zelaya being returned to Honduras against the will of the people.

Our own President calls the action taken by the Honduras Government a "coup"; this is where an opposing faction or revolutionaries take over a government by force. Zelaya was removed by his own government. It was unanimously done by their Supreme Court and Congress as Zelaya was attempting to become a dictator in the same way his friend Chavez is taking control of Venezuela, another one of Obama's friends.

When Iranians were being brutally beaten and killed for protesting a corrupt election, Obama stated he did not want to "meddle" in their affairs. When an attempted dictatorship is run out of a democratic government, Obama wasted no time to speak out against the people and assist in his return in every diplomatic way possible. How can this be happening? This is America, which has stood for and responsible for almost every democracy in the free world.

We see Obama's only relationships prior to the White House are anti-American, communist, and muslim. All of his relationships, from childhood (mother belonged to radical groups) through adolescence, where his mentor was a communist. Ayers (terrorist), Rev. Wright (God D--- America) and Chicago criminals. He used U.S. tax dollars to fund his trips to Kenya, calling it Senate "fact finding" missions. The actual purpose of the trips was to get his tyrannical cousin Raylla Odinga placed as President. Odinga lossed a democratic election. He was not happy with the outcome and with the assistance of muslim terrorists burned out Christians and killed opposition leaders.

There is no reasonable answer as to why our presumed President would side with a would-be dictator over an entire country. There is no rational explanation as to why it seems to be generally acceptable to the American people. Michele Obama made the very clear statement she was proud of America "For the first time" in her life, during the campaign. I must say, even after the shameful Clinton scandals, I have been ashamed of my country, for the first time, since these horrible people have occupied our White House.
