WHERE WEAKNESS WILL GET BAM
NY Post ^ | April 24, 2009 | Rich Lowry

THE calendar says Presi dent Obama took office in 2009, although that's only a technicality. In his own mind, Obama ascended in Year Zero, a time of ritualistic cleansing in preparation for the relaunching of an America free from its past sins.

Has a US president ever appeared less vested in his nation's history than Obama? He shrugged off a rancid attack on America by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega at the Summit of the Americas, including a rant on the Bay of Pigs operation in 1961, by saying he was only 3 months old at the time. Nothing to do with me. It's Obama's own personal novus ordo seclorum. Or as an Obama official put it, "His expectation is that these debates of the past can remain that, debates of the past."

Obama's theory is that "if we are practicing what we preach and if we occasionally confess to having strayed from our values and our ideals, that strengthens our hand."

Just a 236 year stray from our dictatorial King George’s values.

No. But since he's not an American, I guess that's not surprising.

He hates us and everything we stand for.

The shenanigans these red SOB’s in charge of the US Government are up to are going to have some rather serious consequences in the not too distant future.

Pakistan and its nukes will be in the hands of the Taliban by the end of the year.

Chavez, Ortega, Morales and Castro will continue to spread communism in Central and South America.

North Korea is gearing up to walk into South Korea, and the muzzies are set to put a nuclear knife up against the neck of Israel, who cannot count on its former US ally

The Russkies will start to take back whatever parts of the USSR they can handle.

This clown HUSSEIN can’t possibly be this stupid, he is doing this on purpose, sending a signal loud and clear that it is OPEN SEASON ON AMERICAN INTERESTS worldwide.

This SOB is going to get a lot of Americans killed.

Of course he knows what he’s doing. All of the actions you mention have been his dreams and fantasies since childhood.

Obama’s perceived weakness, lack of leadership and penchant for appeasement invites attacks on the US by terrorists. We will soon see the Pakistani nuclear arsenal fall under control of the Taliban who will gladly supply nuclear weapons to other terrorists like al Quida. A nuclear attack against the US mainland or US forces is almost a certainty in the near future. Obama will respond by calling the UN as the US military is being decimated.

0bomo is a sociopath who wants to destroy America. He has hired underlings that feel the same way. Not all of them of course but many of his hires hate America too such as Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder. A few wackos in the State Department such as that uber lawyer Koh
