Obama and H. Clinton are Amateurs
The point of all of the criticism is not that “…they are trying to understand what did happen.” The question is: Why were they not willing to understand the situation BEFORE it happened? It is clear that politics prevailed and the Obama administration was too caught up in getting elected again. Hillary was either at her many hotels, or other travels and Barrack was at another fund-raiser, leaving the government of the nation to the second string. The second string does a great job when all is well, but in a crisis they require informed and decisive leadership. What happened was the leadership of Obama was missing, and Hillary was unprepared. That both of them did not know anything about this crisis is exactly the point. Regular briefings are given but if you are jetting to another foreign country or flying to another fund-raiser, you may not be paying very much attention to the importance of what is being briefed. So, let’s not allow the leadership to investigate and cloud and push-off the responsibility onto the future. The reasons it happened lay in the past, namely, Obama’s refusal to acknowledge militant Islam as dangerously terrorist and Hillary’s loose administration of the State department. The Obama administration has gotten away with this in the past where nobody is responsible and no one held accountable because as they say, we don’t know what happened and we are looking into it. But I think the American people are tired of such amateur government and will make the needed change this November.
Obama is always with the Rich, Famous and Powerful
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/romney-vows-us-renewal-obama-big-money-month-17414909?page=2 The truth is that Obama just does not tell the truth. He says he is for the little person but he spends all of his time with Hollywood rich people, ( Cloney and friends) Corporate Executives (Chairman of GE) the Wall Street Billionaires ( Warren Buffet) and the powerful (George Soros). It amazes me that so many people insist that Obama is a compassionate lover of the middle and lower classes. He is not. He came to the White House with 900 thousand and his rich friends have helped him to turn that into 12 million. Obama is a one percenter!!! Yet, it seems that especially middle-aged white women are always at his rallies with big broad smiles and lusty cheers as though he was the man of their dreams. Well, so much for sex appeal (Likeability?) in politics. Ok for you, if that’s your thing! But please do not confuse your libido fantasy with governing the USA. Obama uses our Air Force One plane at 178 thousand dollars each trip to go to Hollywood and have lunch with Movie stars, and dinner with Rock stars and raise millions of dollars while our military personnel are being killed daily in Afghanistan and our Ambassador and two Navy seals are murdered because Obama didn’t want to insult Muslim fanatics. And when they are murdered, the Obama administration takes out an advertisement in Libya apologizing for any hurt feelings that some crackpot film maker may have caused which the Obama people said justified the outrage that led to murders. Maybe that is why more males are for Romney, he stands up for America, he stands beside those he asks to serve in the military, and he does not blame others for his own failures. We need Romney for President and not the pick of rock stars, hollywood actors and enamored middle-aged white housewives.
Obama Administration and US Military Engage in Terrorism-Repeatedly
http://news.yahoo.com/u-drone-strike-kills-15-northwest-pakistan-officials-033713485.html Amazing, no screams of outrage by the Left. No Washington Post, New York Times outrage. No Chris Matthews and Obermann rants against the Obama White House. All of this silence displays the mainstream media’s murderous complicity in acts of international murder against innocent foreign nationals. These same media and this administration were highly indignant when GW Bush agreed to allow waterboarding interrogation of known terrorist prisoners. All of whom are alive today. But when the Obama administration repeatedly allows the murder of what now amounts to well over fifty innocent “suspects” there is no protest and even open praise of the activity. Maybe it is true that there is no morality anymore. But for this writer, murder is murder. Also for this writer, the actions of our nation must not imitate the actions of the september 11th terrorists. I am not for the jurisdiction of International Courts. But I am amazed that the much praised International Criminal Court at the Hague does not indict the Obama Administration for criminal aggression and terrorism. Pakistan is a sovereign nation and our drones illegally transgress their national borders, and kill its citizens. Basically, these actions are the actions of a rogue State that condones and fosters international terrorism. The USA and NATO with United Nations sanctions just completed a very bloody and illegal war against the legal government of Gaddafi in Libya. The excuse for that war? We were told that they committed acts of murder against their own people. The end of that war? We toppled the Libyan central government, installed the NTC which is a French puppet regime groomed by French and British intelligence agencies and at the last, murdered the Head of State. All along we were told to remember Locerbie and the airliner bombing that killed people. Now the Obama government and the US military are killing people weekly and we are told that it is okay because the US military and the Obama government think that the people we kill are really terrorists. Amazing arrogance but much worse, these are the actions of a government that is morally bankrupt by the false notion that individual acts of terror against suspected terrorists and their families, children and neighbors resulting in their wholesale slaughter is okay because we are protecting America.
BlogTalkRadio Program
This writer also broadcasts a half hour radio broadcast on Blogtalkradio. Granted it is not regularly but I, like you, have to make a living. I like the comment on my blog today that said, “writing is the only work that is not criticized for not making money” Anyway, if you care to tune into the program, it is on Blogtalkradio.com and the title is Considerations. I also broadcast a rock and roll radio program using radionomy. It is a non DJ program so all you hear is music, not even adverts yet because the listenership is low but it is a great station and works real good as background music while you are on the computer. It’s at Radionomy.com and the title is “Uplifting” If you like either program please let me know via the “like” botton. Thanks
Obama Administration Lies Again.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-administration-denies-role-arming-syrian-rebels-232112058.html How can we ever believe the Obama Administration?! Please note that in the USA we consider the government to belong to the people. The present managers of the government are called the administration. I think this is true of Western European Democracy in general. For instance, the Queen of England is the Head of State and the Prime Minister is the manager of the government. However, the Obama administrators seem to think of themselves as being the government and the citizens as being the enemy. That is why the lie to us constantly, try to work around and not with the Congress and are persistent in undermining the foundations of our system of governing. Happily, more and more of the main stream media like the Washington Post, and the New York times are taking their journalism seriously and have stopped pandering and covering up for the first black president in US history. Now they are reporting the facts as they have always known them to be and the facts tell us a story of a government that consistently lies to its people. Jay Carney, the spokesperson for the Obama back room cronies, is constantly disingenuous and plays with words trying to tell us that gray is red and orange is really not a primary color, So what, Mr. Carney, aiding the rebels with …communications equipment that we know they will need when they have achieved the objectives we want and expect… is just a polite way of saying that we back the rebels against the government of Syria and that we are covertly Partisans in a covert operation to topple the Assad government. Are we really so self-righteous that we think we can aid and assist rebels to kill legal police, army and government officials of a sovereign nation and use bombs to cripple the Syrian national infrastructure, while claiming in public that we back UN peace plan? The legal government of Syria has every right to defend itself against outside provocateurs and instigators of internal violence in the same way that we defend against those we claim are terrorists. Would not the USA government attack those who tried by force to overthrow the Obama administration? Why does the United Nations condemn member governments that try to maintain stability within their internal boundaries? Why doesn’t the International Criminal Court in the Hague indict the USA for criminal aggression and crimes against humanity when it is our assistance that fosters, promotes and sustains criminally violent behavior? Strangely and surprisingly it is V. Putin and the government of Russia that stands as defender of the integrity and sovereignty of Syria while it is Obama and the USA that is attacking that nation with the intention of installing a puppet USA friendly government in Damascus. And as for War Hawk and Monger Mc Cain. I should think that he would abhor war since he is a victim of it. Instead, he seems to promote war and destruction at every opportunity. Shame on him.
Sarkozy Under Investigation?
http://news.yahoo.com/sarkozy-faces-slew-probes-immunity-ends-092003356.html As I read this news story, and it is news not commentary, I wonder about all the moral high ground and moral posturing by Sarkozy when he spearheaded the criminal aggression against Libya. Only a few months ago it was Sarkozy the Just against Gaddafi the Vile. Back then, it was the France of Joan of Arc, the Britain of Churchill, and the USA of George Washington against the dirty desert dictator from Tripoli. Back then the contrasts were so stark. It was the tent of Libya against the Versailles of Sarkozy’s France. But reading this article one’s eyesight focuses and the distinctions turn into desert sands which constantly morph into different shapes. This writer has been consistent and is still committed to a “Realpolitic” that holds the self-righteous to the same standards they set for others.
In the USA, which is my county, our leader and his party have denounced terror and terrorism. President Obama was quick to criticize the CIA for “waterboarding” which he called torture. There was constant posturing as the Democratic Congress people like Pelosi and Senator Reid smirked about the terrible George Bush. But today we witness President Obama willingly ordering political murder. I have lost count of the number of assassinations by aerial drone the USA has committed. We are told that the targets of these killings deserve what we deal to them. They are terrorists we are told. They are suspected of terrorism we are told. They must be executed where they are before they have a chance to send terrorists to us. Regularly, we are reading of another pinpoint assassination of some supposed terrorist or other as though the drone kills only the single human and leaves all others unharmed. But we know that a drone is an aerial bomb and the alleged terrorist is joined in his death by all those around him. Are none of the associates innocent or is anyone even standing in the vicinity of the drone’s target to be considered worthy of death?
Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama need to be investigated and also the United Nations and NATO should be called to the Bar, not only for political impropriety but also international criminal aggression.
Syria, a blockage in Obama’s Plan for a New World Order
http://news.yahoo.com/syria-holds-parliament-vote-opposition-boycotts-073812291.html The rebellion in Syria will continue because the rebels state clearly that they will accept nothing other than the fall of Assad. The article further states that the rebels regard the elections to Syria’s parliament as a sham and theat they will ignore anything that happens through the election process. It is obvious that the rebels are not cooperating in the cease-fire and they are not cooperating to bring peace and stability to Syria.
This writer agrees that the Western powers, especially NATO should not in any way get involved in Syria’s problems. I fear that the Obama administration will get very involved if Obama gets elected again. Why di I think that> It is because of Obama’s ideas concerning One World Government. It is because the President has been restrained only due to his re-election efforts. It is because of his remark to Mevedev that …tell Vladimir (Putin) that I will be unfettered after I am re-elected. This reference to being unfettered concerns Obama’s disdain and disrespect for the US Congress which he regards as an odious roadblock on his path to one world government. According to his ideas of a new world order, Obama sees the USA Congress as parochial and even meaningless. He wants the USA to be under to world order that allows the United Nations and the European Parliament to have direct influence and even legal standing in the conduct of government in the USA. Under such a one world government, the World Court in the Hague Netherlands would have subpoena power in USA, the United Nations would have legal standing so that the small arms treaty would be law here and Interpol could arrest and remove US citizens wanted by the Courts of Europe. So, I believe that in a second term President Obama work tirelessly to bring about USA subservience to International Courts, European Tribunals and United Nations mandates. In fact, he may even oversee the change of the world monetary system away from the dollar and toward a world currency denominated by the Chinese Yuan. This letter move would make the USA a Second world country fast on its way, due to Obama’s redistribution of wealth schemes, …well on its way to third world status.
But some ask, surely such a thing cannot happen in the USA. We have laws and a Constitution and an elected Congress. Yes, but our system is based on the good will and the integrity of our leaders to act according to the law and to accept with integrity the authority of legally elected officials over the central government. It is based on the concept that our Federal government officials love America, think of their job as, first and foremost, the protection of the freedoms, rights and privileges of the USA citizen and their intention, in every way to abide by the rule of law.
However, the Obama administration is evidence of a group of elected leaders who mesmerize the population with their political craft all the while undermining and fundamentally changing the way in which the government rules. The undermining was most obvious during the Obama Care process when Senators were bought and sold according to the dictates of the President. Congressmen were told that their districts would get special money if the Representative would sell their vote to the Obama people. Senators were promised as much as three hundred million dollars in federal grants to their States if the Senators would sell their votes to Obama. And all were told that what they were doing in the Senate was merely to allow the Obamacare bill to be put onto the floor of the Senate so that discussion could begin. What could be wrong with that? But as soon as the bill was on the docket all floor debate was immediately limited to a few hours and Harry Reid used his power to control procedures and the Bill was quickly rammed through. It was hard enough to shove the ObamaCare bill through using deceit, bribery and brazen power. Now try to get two thousand pages repealed! Noteworthy, is the swiftness of the federal bureaucracy to disburse the pertinent parts of the two thousand page Bill to the various federal agencies and then to implement as much as possible with lightning speed.
I deeply regret to state the obvious, but those are the methods of dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Chavez. Heretofore, the USA has not experienced such disregard for the will of the nation and its institutions. But if the Obama people are going to insure yjr implementation of their view of the world and the way they think that the USA should be in the future, he needs and will continue to need to work very fast to fundamentally change the USA. Hey, why do you think the Congress is balking? It is not about Obama the man. It is about Obama, his helpers and their plans to fundamentally transform the USA into a place where the Congress is disregarded, the Courts are circumvented, the Constitution is ignored and the New World Order instituted. But you say, not in America and not Obama! He has such a nice voice and such a pleasing smile!
I have written elsewhere on this blog concerning the deceit of the Obama administration regarding Libya. The lies were so plain that they were incredible. That is what Josef Goebbels called audacity. That Nazi leader’s creed was to tell the people a lie often enough and they will believe it. As NATO bombed (over two thousand bombs dropped on Libya) and used missiles, (over 220 cruise missiles shot into Libya) the USA administration told us that all the destruction was needed to protect Libya civilians. And then as we assisted the rebel militias with advisors and used our European surrogate to arm the rebels, we hunted Gaddafi until we murdered him. Now we are using the International Courts to ferret out all remains of the former legal Libyan government so we can try them in Netherlands for so-called “Crimes against Humanity.” But, you say, those are the bad guys and they deserved to die! Is the USA the Chicago Mafia and is Obama the Don? And are our USA Armed Forces the hit men? And our arsenal of drones the murder weapons? Are we using our SEALS as a hit squad? Is the US Air Force the weapon of political assassination? It is a frightful thing when the President of the USA can order the murder of a suspected terrorist or someone implicated in attacks against America by sending a drone to kill them. Effecient? Yes. Effective? Yes. And you say that our leaders will never use such weapons against ordinary people and surely not against the citizens of the Nation. I hated Alawaki and he hated the USA and we “took him out” with a drone. That’s called political murder.
As an American I find myself shivering to write that in the current events of today I look to Russia and to China as bulwarks against an unfettered Obama regime. Although communists, these nations were awakened from their slumber by the audacious lie which was NATO’s Agression against Libya. I believe that Putin saw the danger of unbridaled American Imperialism and along with his Communist Chinese friends decided never again to fall for the NATO and UN lie as evidenced in resolution 1973.
To be continued….
The reports never mention the opposition forces that seek the overthrow of Assad. Like with Libya, the Nato nations want to interfere and force the government to fall. However, if a group of anarchists, or any other political group sought to overthrow the Obama government by force, it would be deemed treason and it would be suppressed by force and the perpetrators would be liable to execution. So why is it different with Syria? Obviously, the Obama government is already involved in the overthrow of the legal government of Libya by outside force. In former days, the crime against Libya would have been condemned as criminal aggression and under Nuremberg rules it should be treated as a crime against humanity.
In the case of Libya, the Russian and Chinese were promised that UN resolution 1973 was merely to use NATO military force to protect so-called innocent civilians. Once approved by UN, the British and French attacked the legal armed forces of the Legal Libyan government. The excuse was that the army of the government “obviously” must be attacked in order to protect civilians. After the 212 cruise missile strikes and the first two hundred jet fighter attacks against military installations inside of Libya, Vladimir Putin objected. However, it was too late. The drum beats of war had begun and the French and Brits would never accept that they were acting illegally. So they increased their attacks with assistance from USA and the government of Belgium. (It is very noteworthy that all three governments have a dirty colonial history of racial imperialism and genocide. (Belgium in Central Africa under King Leopold) However, the Academic community and the mass audience to Internet and TV reporting allowed themselves to condone criminal and wonton aggression because the “horrible” Gaddafi bombed a civilian aircraft over Lockerbie. (Noteworthy here is that the Brits accepted the actual perpetrator of that crime to gain asylum in Europe.!)
Again Putin objected but to no avail and the military organization known as NATO ferociously attacked the Libyan government . And the world, its response was silence or cheering. Silence because no one really cared about the Libyan people and cheering because of hatred for Gaddafi. By the way, NATO was originally meant to protect against Russian aggression. Amazing double standard that now they are open, obvious and arrogant aggressors.
All of this brings us to the current impasse with Syria. The Russians and Chinese were betrayed with UN resolution 1973 and so far they have vowed not to let that happen again. The NATO nations spent billions to wage war against Libya. They have no taste for that kind of expense again. They have expended their war budgets. And the USA? Carney’s admission of “defeat” is precursor to the coming proposal that the world community again take up war in the region. And don’t forget the Iranians.
Obama is right not to arm the rebels. Our own civil war dealt with the problem of outside forces as the British tried to interfere on the side of the South. However, Carney does not mention if the Brits, French and Belgians are also refraining from funding, and arming the rebel insurrectionists. In the light of NATO’s duplicity in the case of Libya, this writer thinks that they are secretly arming, advising and funding the insurrectionists.
When President Kennedy got involved with the war in Vietnam he decided to back the insurrection against President Diem. The result was the murder of the President of South Vietnam in the back of a truck. Kennedy, a co religionist with Diem, (both were Roman Catholic) intensely regretted the regicide of Diem. Sadly, he was himself assassinated by those who have no respect for law or morality. So far, the Obama government is content with political assassination by drone. And although the Obama government is guilty of complicity to murder Gaddafi, they have not committed to regicide by drone against Syrian President Assad. If they did, the morality would dictate that political assassination of government leaders is righteous and therefore permissible, for anyone who thought the other guy was a so-called dictator and therefore illegitimate. In these times when we express our politics forcefully and opening, I am sure that many individuals regard the government with suspicion. Yet, we do not advocate violent overthrow. What is moral for us should be our guide in dealing with others.
Obama goes Backwards
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-america-coming-back-012139891.html
The sad part of this article is President Obama himself. He had the chance for greatness when he became President. Instead he did not trust the American people. He apologized for us before the international community which effectively renounced our efforts in WWI and WW II and under the Marshall Plan, and during the Cold War and even during Kennedy’s confrontation with the Soviet Union in Cuba.
Almost at the same time, he instigated the so-called “Arab Spring” by his inaugural speeches in North Africa and his support of CIA supported insurgencies in the countries of our ally Egypt and in Libya, a country to which we had made expansive national promises; which promises Obama quickly and brutally denied. The result was the disgraceful NATO invasion and decimation of the sovereign State of Libya under a bogus “protect the civilians” United Nations resolution 1973. A nasty business deal between Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama which ended with the brutal, illegal and ugly murder of the legal Leader of the Revolution, Moamar Gaddafi. Essentially, it is the same regicide that occurred under Kennedy against Diem in Vietnam. And very sadly, regicide is a heinous crime that never leaves its perpetrators unaccountable. As I have stated in previous articles, I believe that the NATO actions against Libya are criminal aggression, and crimes against humanity. We should not yawn and go on our way but we should, like we did with Milosevic, require accountability from Sarkozy, Cameron, Obama and Rasmussen.
I stated at the beginning that the sad part of this article is Obama, himself. Why? Because, of instead of holding forth his positions in terms of health care, (really all he has) maybe even his withdrawal of troops from Iraq as instigated by President Bush, he instead attempts to blame everything, (except maybe the weather!) on his predecessor, President Bush.
Essentially, this seemingly benign speech is an indictment of the citizens of the USA. Ultimately, it is they who are President Obama’s target and ultimately, he is blaming them. Why? Because in free and fair elections the people elected President Bush and the Democrat Congress and ultimately they are themselves to blame for the results. It is remarkable that his hearers do not realize that whenever President Obama blames President Bush, he is actually blaming the people who are listening to him.
I am reminded, and I tremble to make this association, but it must be done. I am reminded of Adolf Hitler, who at the end of his brutal and genocidal regime blamed the German people for everything that happened. It was because they were not worthy of him.
Amazing but true. He and his generals held onto this absurdity until Hitler committed suicide in the underground bunker, rather than face the fact of a ravaged and destroyed Germany.
And before everybody goes crazy and accuses me of saying that President Obama is Hitler. That is absolutely not true. And if the President were to ask me to the White House, I would dress in a suit and tie and call him Sir and feel very privileged that the elected President of the USA had allowed me to meet him. None the less, the analogy stands.
So where is all of this going? Essentially, I am a Bush and Romney man. However, I think that President Obama has missed his “greatness” moments and the cited article reinforces the notion that he intends to run his 2012 campaign against President George W. Bush instead of against Governor George Romney.
Sad. Really! Because, although not a Obama man, I feel that he had and perhaps still has, enormous potential for greatness. Why do I care? I love the USA. Obama is the President of the USA and may be again. Because he does not fully understand the greatness to which we the people have elected him, substituting instead accusations against us, and therefore against himself, he fails. And his failure hurts us. Why? Because we need his greatness. And his refusal to be great on our terms, deciding instead to lower himself to Democrat versus Republican partisan bickering, he has refused the greatness which may have been his destiny and was certainly the electorates intention.
Presidemt Obama needs to retire. But he will not, And like all men who have missed their moment of greatness, he will bicker and recriminate and we will all suffer. Better to leave and build a library to your ideas. That is the more noble path, Sir.
