We've been told stuff like, "A Barack Obama Presidency Will Restore America's Prestige." We've been told Obama "would begin a presidency with tremendous potential to heal U.S. relations with much of the world."
We've been told all kinds of moronic drivel. And a great deal of it has come in the form of "objective news analysis."
The reality is that everybody who hated us before will still hate us now. The only difference after this election is that those enemies know that we elected an appeasing lightweight whom they think they can push around. Essentially, we decided we wanted a poodle instead of a rottweiler.
Regardless of the "If we elect Barack Obama, the world will love us, all the prestige we lost under Bush will be restored, the world will respect us, and the sugar plum fairies will sprinkle pixie dust on the whole wide wonderful world" narrative we've been fed, the reality just aint going to be like that.
You've heard of the massive, well-coordinated attack in seven locations in India's financial capital, Mumbia? Maybe you also heard stuff like this:
"They were talking about British and Americans specifically. There was an Italian guy, who, you know, they said: 'Where are you from?" and he said he's from Italy and they said 'fine' and they left him alone. And I thought: 'Fine, they're going to shoot me if they ask me anything — and thank God they didn't," he said.That from an Associated Press story entitled, "Terrorist attacks in India target Americans; hostages taken, death toll rising."
Well, that isn't very nice of them.
Maybe they didn't hear that we elected this glorious "transformational figure" to be our new prom-king-in-chief?
At the same time we've got terrorists trying to target Americans in India, we've got terrorists threatening to attack the New York subway system.
Liberals gave George Bush as much hell as they possibly could have during his presidency. They opposed the Patriot Act, opposed Gitmo, opposed interrogating terrorists, opposed domestic wiretapping of international calls from terrorists, opposed that we didn't give full constitutional protections to terrorists, opposed pretty much everything President Bush tried to do to fight the war on terror or to keep us safe at home. And what would they have done if we HAD suffered another attack during his presidency? They would have screamed that he didn't keep us safe!
We've also got Russia threatening the United States over US missile defense plans in eastern Europe. And we've got Venezuelan warships taking part in war exercises with a Russian naval group during an unprecedented visit to Venezuela by a Russian leader to further solidify an alliance between oil giants.
Of course, that's a drop in the bucket compared with the very real possibility that Israel will attack Iran over that country's nuclear weapons program precisely because they may not believe that a President Obama would be up to the job.
Here we are, waiting for the brand new wonderful world that Dear Leader Barack Obama's "gonna lead us" into. So far, the media has been unrelentingly unfair in its biased coverage of the political campaign. The same media that wouldn't let Bush do anything right won't let Obama do anything wrong.
But some point, we're going to be forced to wake up, smell the coffee, and deal with reality. And media sugarcoating won't be enough to make our problems go away.
If we're attacked by terrorists during Obama's administration, it will be because he's a weak, pathetic leader who can't protect us. If he fights our enemies, it's because he's a vicious bloodthirsty warmonger. If he doesn't fight our enemies, it's because he's an appeasing coward who would rather bow down and cringe than stand up and fight. In other words, he's going to find out that constant demonization swings both ways.
Nothing to see here..Rainbows and Puppies. Rainbows and Puppies.
Would this be the “change” we were promised?
When you demonstrate weakness — which we have, you invite attack — which we will endure.
Obama is nothing but a fraud and people will soon start to see they elected an empty suit that is also EVIL.
Yeah, well, what good is a Memory Hole without stuff to throw down it?
Just drink your room temperature gin and everything will be just fine, Winston....ummmm....errr....I mean Michael.
Look, the Iranian students marched right into the US Embassy in Teheran and took over the place knowing CLEARLY they had to answer to the likes of ....JIMMY CARTER!!
Obama will be terrorist bait. They are going to go to town under his rule. Too bad lots of Americans overseas may suffer as a result. Because they, the deadly enemy, know he wont do jackshit. This is just the opening salvos.
I was a fine arts major back in my college days and subscribed to all this amorphous “change” crap, until I grew up. Obama is a college student’s/academician’s whet dream. His platitudes are vacuous, yet familiar enough to make ignoramouses feel good. This is the same crowd that likes to dwell on what the world COULD be, while the adults must deal with the world that is reality.
Even if the jihad returns in force to commit violence against us, due to the weakness of the Appeaser in Chief, you’ll never hear the phrase, “It’s all Obama’s fault!”
One, of the CST Train Station in Mumbai a few hours ago where they were cleaning up liters of blood and brain matter on the floor of slain Indians, next to that video of the little brainwashed kids just a few months ago ridiculously singing in Venice California, "Obama's gonna change the world!" "Yes we can..cann....cannn.."
Obama’s “defining moment” seems to be looming sooner rather than later.
Obama is a puss. Putin spotted that.
I’ve often though how I and many of my college-age friends (back in the Nixon Adminstration) read this radical crap and BSed ourselves into oblivion (with the help of cheap wine) about how the revolution is comin’, man...
But we outgrew it. He didn’t.
Even in the darkest of times,
there's something to look forward to.
No matter how it will end.
Imagine Putin sitting across from Obama at a meeting. Putin is a cold , calculated killer , an international pro , a spy right out of 1960s James Bond. And there is Obama , the little local “organizer” no nothing fraud. Putin will spit in his face and smile when they meet.
And Soetero....errr...I mean Obama...will thank him for the drink.
Swap the highest ranking muslim, Obama for the gunman and hostages.
Russia is off the coast of South America conducting war games. Not too hard to figure out why.
There was a reason the drinking & voting age was 21 for so many years. As my dad use to say “They are barely out of diapers and still sucking their thumbs.” A little harsh I know, but I got the idea.
